+
+319. Fixed DiG so that ". IN NS" was the default if no args are given. (Vixie)
+
+318. Merged the resolver with 4.4BSD's; made a BSD/ subdirectory off the main
+     tree for easy integration into BSD/OS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, et al; moved the
+     "master" subdirectory to "conf/master" to cut down on top level clutter.
+
+317. Lots of last minute fiddling to make Beta12 "right".  (cast of thousands)
+
+316. Minor byte order bug in BIND_NOTIFY.  (Grange)
+
+315. Added code to db_load() to detect "no RR's found" case.  (Vixie; Heiney)

+	--- 4.9.3-beta11-patch5 released ---
+
+310. Minor BOG patches.  (Shapiro)
+
+309. Minor LOC RR lint.  (Heiney; Truck)
+
+308. Minor STUBS changes in ns_req.c.  (Andrews)
+
+307. Ultrix and OSF/1 now install "man" (not "cat") pages.  AIX now installs
+     *.[0-9] rather than *.0 pages.  (Vixie, et al)
+
+306. conf/Info.* moved to new directory doc/info/*.  (Vixie)
+
+305. NOTIFY could cause multiple simultaneous axfr's.  (Andrews; Vixie)
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta11-patch4 released ---
+
+304. Minor fixes to PURGE_ZONE, CLEANCACHE, RETURNSOA, and dig.  (Mark Andrews)

+
+289. Made random refresh interval a little more robust.  (Miller; Vixie)
+
+288. Minor portability changes for DEC OSF/1.  (Bob Heiney)
+
+287. We now do a setvbuf() on outbound AXFR streams since the system's
+     default size causes more write()'s (and therefore TCP segments)
+     than we really want.  (Paul Mockapetris' idea; Paul Vixie's code.)
+
+286. Recast all uses of abort() to call private function panic().  This was
+     nec'y since we use the ABRT (IOT) signal to force a statistics dump, and
+     having it dump statistics inside of abort() was a bad thing.
+     (Mark Andrews noticed the problem; Paul Vixie fixed it.)
+
+285. Minor change to top-level Makefile for OSF/1 man pages.  (Shapiro)

+
+270. Made CLEANCACHE less of a CPU hog.  (Benoit Grange; Mark Andrews)
+
+269. Add even more branches to the cred/clev decision tree, to make it more
+     robust about borderline data at zone cuts.  (Jack McCann; Mark Andrews)
+
+268. New option (default: "on" for now): PURGE_ZONE.  (Mark Andrews)
+
+267. Added contrib/misc/{soa-easy,dnsfind}.shar.  I will not be including

+
+262. Minor ESIX (SVR4.0.4/gcc) changes.  (John Polstra)
+
+261. Minor dig-related patch to res_send.c.  (Mark Andrews)
+
+260. Minor line number fix for ns_init().  (Havard Eidnes)
+
+259. NetBSD shared library stuff is now in contrib/misc/netbsd-shlib.shar.
+     (Matt Ragan)

+
+254. Minor ndc.sh build problem.  (Michael Corrigan)
+
+253. Minor coding inconsistency in res/res_comp.c.  (Jeff Schreiber; Vixie)
+
+252. Minor BOG addition (SIGIOT).  (Bryan Knowles)
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta11 released ---
+
+251. If a master zone's serial number goes backwards, named now logs a
+     warning.  (Mark Andrews)
+
+250. Minor portability nit in ns_forw().  (Simon Leinen)

+
+248. Declaration problem with findZonePri() fixed. (Corrigan)
+
+247. References to CNAMES from MX/NS/MB will now be explicitly logged. (Vixie)
+
+246. Made the BIND_NOTIFY logic more robust; it still does not match the
+     current I-D (no delays yet).  (Vixie)
+
+245. Fixed a writable-string problem.  Added a lot of ANSI "const"'s. (Vixie)
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta10-patch1 released ---
+
+244. Added shres/PROBLEMS file.  (Chris Davis)
+
+243. Corrected the BOG on the meaning of ".".  (Doug Luce, Paul Vixie)
+

+	Added contrib/misc/dnstools.shar, from alt.sources. (Eric Murray)
+	Added contrib/misc/settransfer.shar (nonrecommended). (Tom Brisco)
+	Updated contrib/host/* with latest public version. (Eric Wassenaar)

+
+234. Made the "ps" command needed by ndc.sh a configurable parameter.
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta10 released ---
+
+233. Added and reordered a lot of code in ns_resp() to cause it to be
+     slighly harder to spoof with bad packets.  More work needs to be done,
+     so that named will be as spoof-proof as the resolver has become.  (Vixie.)
+
+232. Added new RR types to include/arpa/nameser.h, per RFC 1700. (Vixie)
+
+231. New "ndc" command.  (Vixie)
+
+230. The VALIDATE option is now formally deprecated.  It has bugs its detection
+     of invalid responses, and is known to mutilate perfectly valid CNAME
+     responses, to the detriment of clients.  This code will likely be deleted
+     in the next BIND release, to be replaced by an ``always restart query''
+     strategy.  (Vixie)
+
+229. Moved a syslog() so that primary as well as secondary loads are logged.
+
+228. Resolver functions now reliably set h_errno.  (Vixie, Wassenaar)

+
+226. Sun386i support crept in on little cat feet.  (Brownlee)
+
+225. UDP packets could be overstuffed by 12 bytes.  (Reilly, Vixie)
+
+224. failing connect()'s in named-xfer will no longer be logged.  (Andrews)
+
+223. merged IETF stream (Vixie):
+	a. made ALLOW_UPDATES even more optional (it will disappear soon);
+	b. added NOTIFY option (experimental);
+	c. cleaned up some comments;
+	d. removed T_SA (was experimental, replaced by ROUND_ROBIN);
+	e. made named/Makefile's default CFLAGS -g (it usually inherits -O);
+	f. random code cleanup;
+	g. some internal errors are now fatal instead of warnings.
+     these changes were brought in once it became clear that there would be
+     another Beta of 4.9.3.
+
+222. tools/Makefile was using "make" instead of "${MAKE}".  (Day)
+
+221. yet another bug was found and fixed in the SUNSECURITY code.  (Brown)
+
+220. a variable reuse problem in the SUNSECURITY syslog()'s in gethnamaddr.c
+     was fixed.  (Wohletz, Wemm, Vixie)
+
+219. "stub" root zones now affect the hint cache (STUBS is experimental).
+     in this situation it is reasonable to not have a "cache" directive,
+     and some code was reordered to make this possible.  (Andrews)
+
+218. contrib/umich/lame-delegation/LISA-VI-paper.ps is now a proper
+     PostScript(tm) file.  (Davis)
+
+217. syslog() cleanups in named-xfer.c.  (Vixie, Barrett)
+
+216. shres/Makefile now forces -O. (Braniss, Ray)
+
+215. New contrib/misc/ctldns.sh. (Bush)
+
+214. New contrib/misc/dns-peers.info. (Wolfhugel)
+
+213. BOG and named(8) fixes. (Paffrath, Vixie, Hawkinson)
+
+212. database input errors will no longer cause the following line to
+     be ignored. (Gianopoulos)
+
+211. the TXT RR fixes done so far in 4.9.3 have been backed out; we're
+     back to the 4.9.2 behaviour. (Gianopoulos)
+
+210. the authority section will no longer duplicate the answer section
+     if both would contain the same NS RR set. (Vixie)
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta9-patch1 released ---
+
+209. installed marka's patch to CRED that fixes BETA9's flaw.
+
+208. added comment to README about -l44bsd and inet_aton().
+
+207. new directory: contrib/multizdb.  highly nonrecommended.
+
+206. small NextStep change in Makefile.
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta9 released ---
+
+205. minor Makefile fix after beta9 was previewed on bind-workers; also, a
+     new file conf/Info.Linux-more has been included.
+
+204. BOG fixes.
+
+203. netlists elements are now
+	{ addr [ "&" mask ] }
+     which for the EBNF-impaired, means that "&" introduces an explicit mask.
+     implicit masks are either by-class or 0xffffffff, depending on ALLOW_HOSTS
+     in the call to get_netlist().
+
+202. name compression is now case-insensitive.
+
+201. duplicate RRDATA won't trigger the new "auth warning" in db_update().
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta8-patch2 released ---
+
+200. added a haveComplained() to limit auth warnings.
+
+199. fixed idiotic code reordering from patch1.
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta8-patch1 released ---
+
+198. a bad-string-termination bug was fixed in getnetanswer().
+
+197. an uninitialized-variable bug was fixed in db_update().
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta8 released ---
+
+196. Several minor corrections were made to the BOG.
+
+195. "clev" now distinguishes between root and TLD (wasn't worth a darn before)
+
+194. empty nodes in authority zones are now protected from non-auth updates.
+     (most of db_update() was rewritten to fix/support this.)
+
+193. negative cache items weren't updated before, now they are.
+
+192. zone updates from answers were prevented for new types but not if some
+     rr already existed with that type.  fixed.  also syslogged.
+
+191. the cache now distinguishes between authoritative answers and zone rr's.
+
+190. negative cache items are now marked appropriately authoritative.
+
+189. CRED is no longer optional.

+     accepts RFC-bogus input formats generated by previous versions of BIND.
+
+187. SUNSECURITY now forces RES_DEFNAMES on so that relative "localhost" works.
+
+186. Minor portability fixes for DEC OSF/1, HP-UX.

+
+186. i forgot to comment out template Linux lines in top Makefile.  fixed.

+185. "bogusns" directive significantly strengthened, for IN-ADDR.ARPA problem.
+     also fixed a bug in hardcoded root server lame detection.
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta7-patch1 released ---
+
+184. Yet another ULTRIX incompatibility has been worked around.
+
+183. Bogus HINFO RR's will no longer cause corrupt secondary zone files.
+
+182. NeXT support is now complete.  Builds right out of the box.
+
+181. Updated TODO file.
+
+180. Added new INSTALL file.
+
+179. Minor doc fix in OPTIONS file.
+
+178. Security-related bug fix to new sunos shres/* stuff.

+163. INVQ is back on again by default.  See README.
+
+162. another set of patches for obscure corner cases in the HINFO parser.
+
+161. added new SUNOS4 macro to Makefile and conf/portability.h; this should
+     fix the trouble folks were having with strerror() on SunOS 4.X systems.
+
+160. minor Makefile changes.
+
+159. processes which send outbound zone transfers now close all inherited
+     descriptors, since they can be longer-lived than the main named.
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta5 released ---
+
+158. various lint involving options which are rarely defined.
+
+157. sunos needed -DBSD=43 rather than -DBSD.

+
+116. writev() emulation for SCO had a bug.
+
+115. the resolver no longer calls sscanf() or qsort().
+
+114. minor debugging nit cleaned up in res_querydomain().
+
+113. IP options on incoming connections are now logged and ignored.  This
+     should probably be done for datagrams as well but not today.
+
+112. tree.c made portable to non-POSIX/ANSI systems.
+
+111. NSAP RR's are now supported. NSAP_PTR RR's are deprecated and so left out.
+
+110. outbound zone transfers are now logged.
+
+109. various lint cleaned up wrt 16-bit integer handling.
+
+108. named-xfer was exiting bogusly on some systems due to flakey kernel
+     interfaces.  i've rewritten some of the code to avoid the problem,
+     and fixed plenty of lint in the process.
+
+	--- 4.9.3-beta1 released ---
+
+107. Apollo systems were dumping core because of a missing #include <resolv.h>.
+
+106. NSAP and NSAP_PTR RR's now recognized by res_debug() (but nothing else).
+
+105. NeXTstep 2.1/3.0 and Pyramid dcosx now nominally supported.
+
+104. res_querydomain() was doing Bad things if given an empty name.
+
+		--- 4.9.3.a5.p4 published ---
+
+103. named-xfer's exit cause is now syslog()'d more often/clearly (Paul Vixie).
+
+102. I left out a ";" in the new compat/lib/ftruncate.c file (Craig Leres).
+
+101. X25, ISDN, and RT RR support have been added (Michael A. Meiszl).
+
+		--- 4.9.3.a5.p3 published ---
+
+100. Another glitch (very minor this time) was found and fixed in the
+     QSERIAL logic.  This was a performance problem only -- reliability
+     wasn't affected (Bob Heiney).
+
+99. SCO UNIX is now supported, thanks in part to Michael A. Meiszl.
+
+98. I witlessly used a GCC-only feature (automatic aggregate initialization)
+    in a5p2.  Kazuhisa Shimizu was the first to report it.
+
+		--- 4.9.3.a5.p2 published ---
+
+97. NEC EWS4800 EWS-UX/V Rel4.0/Rel4.2 support (from Kazuhisa Shimizu).
+
+96. Some of the security checking logic in the new res/gethnamaddr.c's
+    getanswer() was happening in the wrong order (thanks, Bob Heiney).
+
+95. Minor typo in the man/host.1 man page (caught by Robert Elz).
+
+94. DiG was groping core if given more than 10 tokens in a lookup string
+    (Michael J. Corrigan provided the fix).
+
+93. Queries to INADDR_ANY ("0.0.0.0") come back from the system's primary
+    interface, and res_send() was discarding them.  A proper fix would add
+    a lot of code to the resolver, so for now we'll just work around it
+    (Michael J. Corrigan reported this).
+
+92. The "data outside zone" syslog message was misleading (Bob Heiney).
+
+		--- 4.9.3.a5.p1 published ---
+
+91. res/gethnamaddr.c wouldn't compile on non-BSD systems since it depended
+    on LOG_AUTH which is a post-4.3 feature (Bob Heiney reported this).
+
+	****** 4.9.3-alpha5 released ******
+
+90. redid most of my previous round of prototyping now that i truly 
+    understand which variables and parameters should be u_char and which
+    ones should be char.  (Vixie)
+
+89. added (optional) prototypes for _getshort() and _getlong(); this means
+    the calls all need casts of their argument since it usually isn't a
+    u_char*.  Also prototyped res_query(), res_search, and the nominally
+    private but for some reason not static res_querydomain().  (Vixie)
+
+88. security related: responses from servers we didn't query are now ignored
+    by the resolver; answers with QDCOUNT!=1 are treated as errors; name
+    mismatches in the question or any part of the answer field are syslog()'d
+    and ignored.  (Vixie)
+
+87. fixed a bug in the SUNSECURITY stuff.  (Vixie)
+
+86. a long standing bug in the name hashing code that caused it to ``hash in''
+    the case of the name's characters, was found and fixed.  (twice.) (Vixie)
+
+85. Bob Heiney did some performance analysis and concluded that samedomain()
+    was soaking down cycles at a rate disproportionate to its usefulness; he
+    reimplemented it in a way that violated the (good,fast,cheap) rule.
+
+84. the RFC1101 implementation of getnetby*() was using case-sensitive
+    string compares.
+
+83. fp_query() will no longer try to format packets larger than PACKETSZ,
+    and for perversity, dig and named are now prepared to handle replies
+    (via TCP) larger than PACKETSZ.  new function: __fp_nquery().  (Vixie)
+
+82. multiline initial syslog() is fixed (Bill G).
+
+81. Don Lewis sent in a big update for the lame delegation logic.  Vixie fixed
+    one bug.  Bryan Beecher had a big hand in this.
+
+80. TCP replies can now be up to 8K in size (don walsh).
+
+79. validation bug fixed (don lewis).
+
+78. BOG patches from mike minnich and others.
+
+77. more lint fixes for Cray (norb brotz).
+
+76. a new hostname(7) man page was contributed by Art Harkin.
+
+75. DESTINC is now a settable Makefile parameter (Marion Hakanson).
+
+74. the zones-not-transferring bug is finally gone.
+
+73. now using LOG_PERROR in openlog(); many parallel dprintf()'s are gone.
+
+72. inability to retrieve serial number via UDP now forces TCP transfer.
+
+71. removing secondary zone files and SIGHUP'ing will now force a transfer.
+
+70. "cache" directives can now specify "/class" as documented in the BOG.
+
+69. Mark Andrews' fix for the ns_forw core dump is in.
+
+68. Keith Bostic fixed some typo's in the man pages.
+
+67. Compiling without NCACHE is possible now (John Hanley).
+
+66. Bill Gianopoulos and Alan Barrett finally agreed on what glue was and
+    Bill's alpha4 patch is mostly gone now, and one new idea was added.
+
+65. BOG improvements (Vixie, Brooks).
+
+64. Mark Andrews' CLEANCACHE (recommended) and RETURNSOA (__NOT__ recommended!)
+    are in.  RETURNSOA should not be enabled at this time; there's nothing
+    wrong with the code but it will cause cache corruption in older servers
+    and may not be necessary.  The jury is still out.
+
+63. outbound zone transfers are now logged (requested by Ron Johnson).
+
+62. serial number queries sent out for zone transfer purposes will now be
+    limited to a maximum of four (4) simultaneous outstanding; this keeps
+    BIND from overflowing its UDP socket buffer when hundreds of zones must
+    be checked (still trying to fix Paul Pomes' problem).
+
+61. short A RR's in responses will no longer lead to purify errors due to short
+    malloc()'s in savedata() (thanks to Nicholas Briggs for reporting this).
+
+	****** 4.9.3-alpha4 released ******
+
+60. manifest constants used instead of "sizeof({u_,}int{16,32}_t)", for
+    systems which lack 16- and 32-bit integers (paul vixie for norm brotz).
+
+59. zone transfer anti-glue logic made RFC1034-compliant (bill gianopoulos).
+
+58. seg fault in sysquery() (from LAME_DELEGATION) fixed (mark andrews).
+
+	****** 4.9.3-alpha3 released ******
+
+57. a big, hefty patch was made to the negative caching logic (mark andrews).
+
+56. named-xfer will no longer scramble the default origin (alan barrett).
+
+55. random bits of lint found and removed (mario guerra).
+
+54. convexos-10 is now supported (jukka ukkonen).
+
+53. seg fault in database dumps (from VALIDATE) fixed (don lewis).
+
+52. problem with extra bogus 0.0.0.0 A RR's from VALIDATE fixed (mark andrews).
+
+51. the LAME_DELEGATION logic once written into 4.8.3 by don lewis has
+    been substantially reworked and put into 4.9.3-alpha3 (bryan beecher).
+
+50. all instances of "sizeof(HEADER)" were changed to "HFIXEDSZ" to make
+    life easier for the cray.  also, "struct HEADER" in include/arpa/nameser.h
+    uses just bit fields now, for portability to 64-bit systems without
+    16-bit integer types.   (norb brotz suggested it; paul vixie did it).
+
+49. build changes for NeXT and AIX systems (artur romao; c. wolfhugel).
+
+48. random sunshlib changes (piete brooks).
+
+47. minor fixes for solaris build (carson gaspar; paul pomes).
+
+48. a few bugs were wrung out of the BOG (per hedeland; vixie).
+
+	****** 4.9.3-alpha2 released ******
+
+47. several obscure Makefile problems were fixed (vixie).
+
+46. there is now a per-primary-NS quota for simultaneous zone transfers; this
+    will cut down on the retry thrashing seen on servers that are secondary for
+    thousands of zones (vixie).
+
+45. a bug introduced by change #23 has been fixed (marten terpstra; apb).
+
+44. the "data outside zone" messages are now consistent (piete brooks; vixie).
+
+43. several #include's were reordered in res/*.c and a few #ifdef's were
+    changed; BIND should now run OK on DGUX (henry miller).
+
+42. several changes to the conf/options.h and Makefile (vixie):
+    -> SVR4 has been added as a top-level Makefile CDEFS option
+    -> SYSV has moved from conf/options.h to the top level Makefile
+    -> INVQ is now an "#ifdef" rather than a "#if"
+
+41. resolver no longer uses initialized static data, which should make shared
+    libraries easier to generate (vixie did it, at the urging of many others).
+
+40. now compiles on Apollo DomainOS (don lewis).
+
+	****** 4.9.3-alpha1 released ******
+
+39. lots of lint found and fixed (craig leres).
+
+38. illegal enum compare fixed in named/ns_stats.c (vixie).
+
+37. missing ')' added in SUNSECURITY section of res/gethnamaddr.c (h miller).
+
+	****** 4.9.3-prealpha released ******
+
+36. ***REMOVED***
+
+35. various bugs were fixed in the negative caching (vixie; mark andrews).
+
+34. several debugging and dump output problems were fixed (mark andrews).
+
+33. TXT RR's can now be read from zone files even if they lack quotes;
+    the RFC doesn't say quotes are needed (jim martin).
+
+32. limited support for AIX-3 is now included (christoph wolfhugel).
+
+31. SUNSECURITY is now an obvious default in ./Makefile (p killey; b beecher).
+
+30. VC queries that time out are now GC'd and SERVFAIL'd (mark andrews).
+
+29. HP-UX 9.0's top-level makefile variables have been changed (don lewis).
+
+28. various fixes for tools/host.c (jim martin; mark andrews).
+
+27. syslog messages logged by SUNSECURITY will now include the address of
+    the host that's having problems (david morrison).
+
+26. systems whose connect() calls fail if a socket is already connect()'d
+    will now have their sockets closed and recreated in res_send() (piete
+    brooks; mark andrews; vixie).
+
+25. res_send() will now corrected reset its "connected" variable when the
+    connectedness of a socket changes (mark andrews).
+
+24. SERVFAIL responses will no longer terminate the res_search() inner loop,
+    thus catastrophic problems with early search elements will no longer
+    prevent res_search() from trying later search elements (bryan beecher;vix).
+
+23. non-NS RR's for delegated subzones will no longer be accepted in a zone
+    transfer (alan p barrett).
+
+22. the setting for _PATH_PIDFILE is now overridden by the Makefile (l hume).
+
+21. named.restart.sh now has a smaller path with %DESTSBIN% first therein;
+    this should prevent the vendor version of named from being exec'd by
+    accident (leigh hume).
+
+20. big change: statistics are now kept "per name server" rather than as
+    a single global array.  the /var/tmp/named.stats file format has changed
+    quite a bit, so older awk/perl scripts are likely to stop working.
+
+19. big change: every RR now keeps a pointer to a "nameser" struct; this
+    currently permits SIGINT-initiated dumps to include the address of all
+    non-zone data, which will help with tracking down corrupt data.
+
+18. db_load.c was missing two #ifdef/#endif's for CRED (mike minnich).
+
+17. don't aggregate SOA or WKS RR's in the cache (vixie).
+
+16. minor cosmetic changes (vixie).
+
+15. fixed typo in compat/Makefile ("LIBDIR" -> "DESTDIR") (rob davies).
+
+14. fixed spurious "accept: interrupted system calls" (vixie).
+
+13. named will now start as many named-xfer's as it should; previously it
+    lost track of the need for transfers at the beginning of each maint
+    cycle.  also, we don't bother asking for an SOA if we know that our
+    zone is out of date.  i've changed the transfer metrics so that more
+    transfers can happen concurrently, and maint cycles come more often.
+    (andrew partan; vixie).
+
+12. a number of LOG_ERR and LOG_CRIT syslogs were downgraded to LOG_NOTICE
+    (rob davies; vixie).
+
+11. sequence number checking now treats "zero" as a special case.
+    (craig leres; andrew partan; vixie).
+
+10. MFLAGS no longer used explicitly, since it is often used implicitly
+    (mark andrews; vixie).
+
+9. ADDAUTH is no longer considered experimental (tony stoneley; vixie).
+
+8. several obscure type bugs fixed (don lewis).
+
+7. signal handlers all now preserve errno (don lewis).
+
+6. TTL deprecation made more portable (don lewis).
+
+5. now compiles on Apollo DomainOS and is generally more POSIX-ish (don lewis).
+
+4. bryan beecher's "query" tool has been promoted to tools/ and renamed to
+   dnsquery.  minor changes were required in several Makefiles (vixie).
+
+3. "make links" at the top level will now make a higher resolution link tree,
+   which makes porting easier on some systems (ian dickinson).
+
+2. Convex feof() bug now has a workaround (jukka ukkonen).
+
+1. gethostby*() will no longer overwrite its fixed-size array if a host with
+   too many addresses is handled (reported by piete brooks, fixed by vixie).
+
+-------------------------------------- 4.9.3 above, 4.9.2 below
+
+4.9.2 ------------------ FINAL ----------------- Paul Vixie
+
+57. updated TODO, README files.
+
+56. fix to contrib/sunlibc/Makefile.
+
+55. several new items in contrib/.
+
+54. Corrected bad command line parsing bug in tools/dig.c; also added the
+    old query timing code back in (thanks to Havard Eidnes).
+
+53. Ported contrib/decwrl/host.c to the modern interfaces.
+
+4.9.2 ------------------ BETA5 ----------------- Paul Vixie
+
+52. A number of optimizations that fell out of negative caching and/or the
+    validation code have been turned off in order to avoid confusing older
+    nameservers and their unfortunate assumptions about co-invariants.
+    Mark Andrews and Robert Elz were the principle debuggers and contributors
+    to this part of the effort.
+
+51. We're now much more portable to systems without Posix or BSD signals,
+    thanks to Bill Wisner.
+
+50. tools/host.c now has more reasonable error messages and can deal with
+    negative caching servers.
+
+49. Lots of Makefile gaffes are now fixed.
+
+48. New "host" in contrib/host/, complements of Eric Wassenaar.
+
+47. AFSDB support is now complete, thanks to Chris Everhart.
+
+46. The bug whereby named would sporadically return NXDOMAIN when it should
+    have sent back a referral has been fixed.
+
+4.9.2 ------------------ BETA3, BETA4 ----------------- Paul Vixie
+
+45. Robert Elz has provided updated LOCALDOMAIN environment variable 
+    processing, making it more like resolv.conf's "search" than "domain".
+    In the spirit of this I have added a RES_OPTIONS environment variable
+    and a corresponding "options" keyword to resolv.conf.  All of this is
+    documented in the man pages and in the BOG.  Robert has also contributed
+    several bug fixes to the validation and negative caching code.
+
+4.9.2 ------------------ ALPHA ----------------- Paul Vixie
+
+44. BETA1, BETA2, and three patches to BETA2 have all come and gone without
+    itemized descriptions in this file.  I'll provide the RCS history on the
+    code to anyone who asks, but basically what's been happening is that some
+    core dumps were fixed, others added, then those were fixed too.  Meanwhile
+    RFC 1535 has been published, codifying CERT's concerns and our answer to
+    them.  BIND is now RFC 1535 compatible.  RFC's 1535, 1536, and 1537 are
+    now included in the doc/ directory.  Note that Mark Andrews supplied many
+    of the fixes to the core dumps, some of which were introduced by me and
+    some by ISI's negative caching and/or validation code.
+
+43. patch05 to ALPHA2 (930908) released: this includes new DNSRCH logic to
+    correct a serious problem that CERT called me with today.  the change is
+    subtle and will have the effect that names which could match either as
+    fully qualified names or partially qualified names using the local search
+    list will be found as fully qualified.  previous releases would have found
+    them first through the local search list.  local search lists are a bad
+    idea in my opinion; see new SEARCH_DEFAULT option in OPTIONS file for more
+    information.  also in this release: limited Solaris support, in the form
+    of POSIX-style signal handling used on systems which support (or require)
+    it.  as of this patch, 4.9.2 has a good chance of compiling out of the box
+    on Solaris, modulo makefile edits.  dig and host should be more portable
+    now, too.
+
+42. patch04 to ALPHA2 (930908) released: this corrects several borderline
+    syntax errors in various Makefiles (Sun and Ultrix makes complained);
+    it corrects a coredump on Ultrix systems (which aren't really as POSIX
+    as i thought they were); it lets dig and nslookup compile again on SunOS;
+    and it cleans up some dirty junk in named-xfer.c.  this stuff is really
+    really minor but i would like to see it tested on a Sun system before the
+    beta.
+
+41. patch03 to ALPHA2 (930908) released: this uses compat/include by default
+    which is helpful on BSD/386 systems and shouldn't hurt any others except
+    perhaps real 4.4BSD systems (and maybe not even those); it removes Bryan
+    Beecher's SHUFFLE_ADDRS option since he and I agree that Marshall Rose's
+    ROUND_ROBIN stuff is more general and cleaner; it includes various patches
+    to the documentation sent in by several folks (please print the BOG and
+    let me know if you find problems in it); it fixes "make depend" problem
+    in "man/" subdirectory; it fixes several outright bugs in Gregory Shapiro's
+    SECURE_ZONES code; it removes an obscure syslog() that should have been a
+    dprintf() ("validate_count -> 0"); it fixes a bug in NCACHE whereby a T_ANY
+    query for a name which was negatively cached but had children would return
+    _answers_ with the T_ANY type for subsequent queries; several newer syslog
+    messages were reworded to make them clearer; a portability bug in the
+    SUNSECURITY logic was fixed; another in the RFC1101 logic was fixed;
+    support for the PAGER environment variable was added to nslookup (sorry,
+    i know we're in functional freeze but this will enable development in the
+    next cycle and it was pretty simple) and only affects the "view" and "help"
+    commands.
+
+40. patch02 to ALPHA2 (930908) released; this includes more fixed from Mark
+    Andrews, this time to Anant's NCACHE stuff (memory leak and functional
+    bug).  Also included is a patch from Gregory Neil Shapiro to his SECURE_
+    ZONES code, which I hadn't noticed since I don't run it here.
+
+39. patch01 to ALPHA2 (930908) released; this includes some fixes from Mark
+    Andrews to his "clev" and ADDAUTH stuff.  The "clev" patch fixes a problem
+    on all servers; the ADDAUTH stuff is still experimental so most users will
+    not be affected by it.  Dave Morrison also sent a patch for the USE_UTIME
+    logic, which is important for ULTRIX systems.
+
+38. 4.9.2-ALPHA2 released on 930908.
+
+37. Mark Andrews sent an initial attempt at implementing ADDAUTH, which will
+    eventually allow named to include authority and glue RR's with all 
+    authoritative answers.  I am not sure that the design goal is right, and
+    the implementation currently sends back glue RR's but no authority RR's,
+    so I'm recommending against using this for now.  But since it changes some
+    internal interfaces in a harmless enough way, I'm including the changes.
+
+36. Marshall Rose's ROUND_ROBIN code snuck in at the last hour.  This is the
+    best answer I've seen to the problems purported to be solved by SA RR's,
+    and my wording in the OPTIONS file shows this.
+
+35. These items from TODO is now done:
+
+    [vixie@pa.dec.com 25apr93]: clean up debugging
+	replace all "#ifdef DEBUG...fprintf(...)...#endif" with dprintf(...)
+	which would be a macro that only expands to an fprintf() if DEBUG is
+	set.  dprintf(x, (args)) with x as the log level.  perhaps change log
+	levels to be symbolic, and perhaps make them a mask instead of a limit.
+
+    [vixie@pa.dec.com 25apr93]: clean up #ifdef's and portability
+	add and use function prototypes.  make everything static that can be.
+	externs should only be in .h files (add more .h files, per module if
+	needed, to cover these).  add "export" keyword (null define) to make
+	it clear which names are exported and which are static.  all top-blevel
+	names in a module must be "export" or "static".
+
+    [gshapiro@wpi.edu and vixie@pa.dec.com 26apr93]: access control
+	"xfrnets" is ok but what we really need is full access control per
+	zone rather than a global list of acceptable client nets.  this is
+	especially important if you send /etc/passwd via zone transfer.
+
+    [postel@isi.edu anant@isi.edu jaffe@noc.rutgers.edu
+     28apr93]: negative caching
+	Paul:
+	We'ed like to have included in 4.9.1
+	our implemention for negative caching.
+	--jon & Anant.
+
+    [vixie@pa.dec.com 16may93]: inet_addr needs to die
+	to be replaced by calls to inet_aton, which doesn't confuse the
+	broadcast address with bad addresses.
+
+    [Paul:  I know you said that you'd like to wait for the IETF DNS WG to
+	"bless" an official load balancing scheme, but I'll be adding my
+	shuffle A records to BIND 4.9 for use here at U-M anyhow.  The code
+	mods to existing source files are minimal since the bulk of the work
+	is done in a separate .c I added.  If you don't want SA records to
+	move into 4.9.1 unless they become official, please just toss this
+	first entry. --bryan@umich.edu]
+
+    [bryan@umich.edu 25apr93]: add "shuffle A" records
+	There are several schemes for adding some kind of load balancing
+	capability to the DNS.  Our "Shuffle Address" (SA) records are one
+	stab at this, and since they're in use at U-M, I need to add them
+	so we can use BIND 4.9 here.
+
+    [bryan@umich.edu 25apr93]: add AFSDB records
+	AFSDB records were proposed in RFC xxxx.  We use them here at the
+	University of Michigan, so I need to add them for our copy of
+	BIND 4.9.
+
+    [bryan@umich.edu 25apr93]: small fix to resolver's p_cdname()
+	The current copy of p_cdname() in the resolver does not work
+	for query responses larger than 512 bytes (which can happen when
+	using TCP).  A very small modification changes the "sanity check"
+	argument (the second one) to dn_expand() from "msg + 512" to
+	"cp + MAXCDNAME".  (This showed up very recently.)
+
+34. While waiting for some last minute changes from volunteers, I looked
+    at my work queue and saw that asp@uunet.uu.net had asked a while ago
+    that named not fork/exec a named-xfer unless it had already determined
+    that the serial number was out of date.  This is important to sites like
+    UUNET and DECWRL, which have thousands of "secondary" lines in their
+    named.boot and can take hours to check all the serial numbers at boot
+    time if named forks/execs named-xfer and lets named-xfer compare the
+    serial numbers, rather than comparing them in named and only fork/exec'ing
+    a named-xfer if it's actually neccessary to do a transfer.  In spite of
+    C's lack of threads, this only took a few hours to do.  So it's in.
+
+33. Gregory Shapiro's "secure_zone" changes are in.  See the BOG.
+
+32. Internals changes: STATS is no longer optional; ns_req() has been split
+    into three functions for readability.  Convex systems are now supported.
+    You can now define LOG_FAC in conf/options.h if you want to syslog as
+    LOG_LOCAL1 or some other non-LOG_DAEMON value.  The mkstemp() problem on
+    ULTRIX has been fixed.  More dead code has been eliminated.
+
+31. Large TCP queries are now printable in debug mode (which is used by
+    "dig" and "nslookup"), thanks to a patch and a lot of patient explain-
+    ations from Bryan Beecher.
+
+30. Data from subdomains ("deeper zones") is now considered more credible
+    than data from parent zones, if both are authoritative.  This permits
+    a subdomain's data to differ from its parents delegation information
+    and have the most-local information supercede the least-local.  Mark
+    Andrews <marka@syd.dms.csiro.au> sent this in, and it is nonoptional.
+
+29. rossc@ucc.su.oz.au's SUNSECURITY patch is now included, along with
+    marka@syd.dms.csiro.au's performance improvement to it.  Note that
+    I am violating my own policies by including this, since it came
+    without a corresponding patch to OPTIONS, conf/options.h, and the BOG.
+
+28. Interfaces with multiple addresses were not being handled properly.
+    This is an issue for 4.3-Reno and later BSD systems, including BNR2
+    ("Net-2") and 4.4BSD.  Multiple addresses are not properly handled
+    as if they were all aliases for the localhost.
+
+27. Jukka Ukkonen <ukkonen@csc.fi> sent me some patches for the Convex,
+    which I've put it but cannot test.
+
+26. sob@tmc.edu (Stan Barber) sent me new versions of contrib/host/host.c
+    and contrib/host/send.c, which I have installed but not tested.  I am
+    still waiting for someone to update the version in tools/host.c, which
+    is going to be a lot more work.  Contact me via e-mail if you want to
+    help.
+
+25. My credibility stuff from the original 4.9 (and before that, KJB)
+    was operating under a ``scorched earth'' policy due to a brain fault
+    on my part when I wrote the code originally.  Tim.Goodwin@pipex.net
+    discovered this and sent in a patch.  Note that throwing out glue is
+    generally OK since glue is generally NOT OK, but disposing of it after
+    ~20 references is a lot better than disposing of it after 1 reference.
+
+24. NS RR sorting on forwarded and system queries was not happening
+    unless more than 1024 milliseconds of RTT variance existed among
+    the servers.  This was a good value for development and testing
+    but not for production use.  The value is now 128 milliseconds.
+    No, this should not be a configurable in the boot file.
+
+23. I am including a file doc/FAQ which was posted to usenet as:
+	From: craig@ecel.uwa.edu.au (Craig Richmond - division)
+	Newsgroups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains
+	Subject: FAQ: Setting up a basic DNS server for a domain
+	Date: 3 Aug 1993 10:53:51 GMT
+	Organization: The University of Western Australia
+	Lines: 1088
+	Message-ID: <23lg3v$1go@uniwa.uwa.edu.au>
+	Summary: Step by Step implementation of a DNS server
+	Keywords: FAQ DNS setup
+
+22. named-xfer now syslogs if the remote server's serial number is _lower_
+    than ours, which does seem like a bad thing.  per@erix.ericsson.se
+    (Per Hedeland) sent this in.
+
+21. man/resolver.3 had a typo on the exp_dn argument to dn_expand.  fixed.
+    (Steve Alexander <stevea@lachman.com> sent this in.)
+
+20. include/sys/cdefs.h moved to compat/include/sys/cdefs.h since some
+    systems have their own which must be used.  the top-level makefile
+    must be edited if you are on one of these systems, since the default
+    CFLAGS includes this new directory as a -I directive.  sys/bitypes.h
+    has also moved.
+
+19. A neccessary bug fix for ISI's VALIDATE/NCACHE code has been incorporated.
+    If you had to rebuild without these turned on in options.h to get your
+    CNAME lookups to work again in an earlier 4.9.2 ALPHA, you can turn them
+    on again now.
+
+18. The q_system field of the query structure has been removed in favor of
+    a q_type field containing bit definitions.  The old PRIMING_CACHE magic
+    cookie is no longer used.  Go to the end of the universe, do not pass go.
+
+17. Converted to ANSI C.  All functions are static unless they are actually
+    needed outside the current module ("file" in C terminology); static 
+    functions are declared with prototypes if they are forward-referenced.
+    Externally visible functions are declared in separate header files, with
+    prototypes.  ns.h and db.h have been split into four new header files:
+	db.h -> db_defs.h db_glob.h db_func.h
+	ns.h -> ns_defs.h ns_glob.h ns_func.h
+
+    The *_defs files contain only structure and type definitions, and macro
+    definitions.  Nothing that generates text or data space in the executable
+    is declared here.
+
+    The *_glob files contain only global variable declarations, which used to
+    be defined in the various *.c files in a more or less random fashion.  The
+    declarations are "extern" if included from non-main()-containing files, but
+    are defined globally and given initial values in main()-ish files.  This
+    reuse of the same declarations insures that the type and size declarations
+    match between definitions and external references to them.
+
+    The *_func files contains function prototypes for global ("extern")
+    functions.  The prototypes are all optional so will not break non-ANSI
+    systems.  Note that I don't have such a system any more so I may be wrong.
+
+16. Removed all remaining references to "short" or "long" that did not
+    depend on the vague semantics of those types.  Most uses were actually
+    depending on a size of 16 bits for short and 32 bits for long, and there
+    are processors/compilers where each of these types is different.  This
+    work was begun in 4.9 and is now complete.  Note that some structs that
+    are used in large data structures use "char" for 8-bit integers.  It helps.
+
+05Jul93 - ALPHA Released
+
+This is the cleanup release after 4.9.  I'm going to try the TCSH style of
+logging the changes; let me know if you think it's a bad way of doing it.
+
+15. the resolver now includes an implementation of RFC 1101, which allows
+    network names to be encoded in the DNS tree rather than in /etc/networks.
+    this implementation is by rps@matuc2.mat.uc.pt (Rui Pedro Mendes Salgueiro)
+    i put the test program and original documentation in contrib/rfc1101/.  i
+    would like to see their main.c ("nettest") turned into a tools/nettest,
+    but i'm not willing to do the work myself.  it needs a man page, etc.
+
+14. as expected the initial HS zone transfer stuff didn't work that well.
+    thanks to <per@ericsson.se>, retries after failed SOA queries will use
+    C_IN rather than falling through to C_HS inappropriately.
+
+13. ns_init.c was fcntl(SETFL)'ing in a destructive way.  it now does a
+    fcntl(GETFL) to get the old option mask and then |'s in the new flag.
+    this patch came from Eduard Vopicka <Eduard.Vopicka@vse.cz>.
+
+12. there are two new conf/Info.* files; check 'em out.
+
+11. ultrix (some versions, especially the vax ones) libc.a had some bad
+    naming conventions for some resolver routines.  getshort/putshort just
+    have to be real functions, not just macros, or you can't link anything
+    with this resolver.  patch was sent by <aas@brain.physics.swin.oz.au>.
+
+10. sethostent(x) for host files was sticky for nonzero 'x' (avalon@anu.edu.au)
+
+9.  hp9000s700 is now supported in include/arpa/nameser.h (avalon@anu.edu.au)
+
+8.  statistics dumps now print the time in decimal-seconds-since-1970 in
+    addition to the old "ctime" format, for ease of debugging.  (Peter Koch).
+
+7.  systems with 14-character filename limitations have apparently been
+    having trouble in named-xfer since its temporary file names are bigger
+    than they can handle.  ash@hp sent in some patches a while ago, enabled
+    with SHORT_FNAMES in conf/options.h, to deal with this appropriately.
+    We should probably just generate short names always.
+
+6.  Some security stuff from ISI.  According to Anant Kumar <anant@isi.edu>:
+
+	The validation procedure is the major change here. Currently, we
+	accept anything from a server, as long as we had asked it a question.
+	This implies that a malicious server can really send us any data and
+	we not only pass it on, we also cache it for as long as the TTL
+	holds. This can be really bad for our health and for that of those
+	who use the DNS.
+
+	We add this procedure to verify for each RR returned by a server
+	that it is indeed authoritative for either that zone, or for a
+	parent zone.  We end up trusting the root servers for everything!
+	Also, the more rich our cache is the more choosy we become about the
+	data we add on to it. This stuff is all ifdef'd with "#ifdef VALIDATE"
+
+	The negative caching stuff adds on a d_rcode field to the databufs.
+	Any positive entry now shows a NOERROR there while negative entries
+	have either a NXDOMAIN or NOERROR_NODATA. NOERROR_NODATA rcode is
+	never returned.  It is used only to differentiate, within the
+	internal database, between negative and positive entries. We use the
+	regular hash table (hashtab) to store negative entries, too. Only
+	authoritative answers are negative cached, for NTTL (parameterized,
+	currently 10 minutes) seconds. Non-authoritative NXDOMAINs or
+	NOERROR with zero RR count, now generated, are now accepted but
+	never cached. This is ifdef'd with "#ifdef NCACHE".
+
+5. "make install" now has a prayer of working for the man pages. an observation
+   was made that net2++ systems _require_ formatted "cat" pages and that older
+   systems are _able_ to use them, so that's all we install.
+
+4. i wrote man pages for named.reload, named.restart, and named-xfer.  these
+   were actually in 4.9.1 for 4.4BSD.
+
+3. unneeded functions in compat/lib will now generate placeholder symbols, to
+   make sure that the linker doesn't generate ugly-but-harmless warnings.
+
+2. my ignorance of the true meaning of _POSIX_SOURCE has been corrected,
+   along with the ugly-but-working code in conf/portability.h and elsewhere.
+
+1. non-resolver routines moved from res/ to compat/lib/.  this will shorten
+   libresolv.a and make it easier to integrate new BIND releases into Net-2
+   descendents such as 4.4BSD and BSD/386.
+
+4.9.1 ------------------
+
+This is the integration of the changes that were made for 4.4BSD.  This
+release will not be published.  Changes include:
+
+doc/BOG/*: many changes to improve appearance of the output, including
+	orphan-avoidance and better tab stops.  Sent to me by someone on
+	the net who deserves thanks but I've lost the original mail.  Oops.
+
+include/*: the CSRG people weren't entirely pleased with the interface
+	changes i made to the res_*() and inet_*() functions.  in particular,
+	the changes from "long" to "u_int32_t" were too sweeping in their
+	opinion since Posix is already working on standardizing them and
+	might look unkindly on an apparently-still-evolving interface.  also,
+	the possibility that all the vendors will change their implementations
+	to match the new interface is apparently rather dim.  therefore most
+	externally-visible occurances of the int32_t type have been changed
+	back to "long" in the resolver interface.  we believe that this should
+	still be portable to Cray and AXP machines, but i'll wait to hear from
+	someone who can actually try it out and let me know.
+
+tools/*: the "net2" version of "lex" requires some additional flags and libs,
+	and this had implications for the Makefiles and the dig.c source file.
+	nslookup's man page is now in man/ rather than tools/nslookup, for
+	consistency.
+
+named/*: last-minute 4.9-FINAL changes to named-xfer.c and db_load.c resulted
+	in corruption of TXT records on zone transfers, and a high number of
+	useless syslog(SYS_ERR) messages about zones already being up to date.
+	these last-minute changes have been massaged into better shape and are
+	now a lot readier for prime time than they were.  a lesson was learned.
+
+	the inet_aton() function is now used where appropriate, rather than the
+	old inet_addr().  this is just an evolutionary move that should have no
+	practical implications.  bad addresses in the "tcplist", "bogusns", and
+	"sortlist" directives (from named.boot) are now syslogged.
+
+	some open files are still inherited by named-xfer from named, but they
+	are properly closed now.
+
+	the SIGXFSZ signal is now accepted as an alias for SIGHUP, in support
+	of the wierd DEC Hesiod implementation.  no practical significance.
+
+res/*: one important bug fix in the gethostent() stuff, and a whole bunch of
+	evolutionary include file changes.
+
+include/*: include/sys was moved to compat/include/sys, since systems that
+	do not need it really really really need to get their own instead.
+	at some point i'm going to move the res/*.c files that are needed for
+	compatibility but not really part of the resolver, into compat/lib.
+
+general: there are more settable parameters in the top-level Makefile, and
+	they are propagated downward into the subdirectories' Makefiles.  you
+	should not have to edit any Makefile except the top-level one.  Note
+	that "make links" still creates local Makefiles in the build directory
+	because "mkdep" still edits the Makefiles on most systems.
+
+4.9-FINAL -------------------
+
+Kevin Dunlap sent in some changes for the BOG.  So did a lot of other folks.
+
+Someone asked about AXP-OSF, so I did a trivial 64-bit port.  Porting to
+other 64-bit systems should be simple now.  Someone also sent in some MIPS
+RISCOS portability changes, which were simple and therefore were put in.  
+Note that some type names have been added to BSD 4.4 as a result of this
+work; they are going to be in <sys/types.h> in BSD 4.4 but they are in a
+local include file called <sys/bitypes.h> in this distribution, with 
+appropriate #ifdef's in the include files that depend on them.  Those of you
+who are porting to 64-bit platforms where "long" isn't 32 bits should be
+using these new names for your types; there was no standard before this,
+but the names we've added for BIND 4.9 and BSD 4.4 are going to be proposed
+to Posix at some point.  Sometimes it's just not OK for "int" to be the
+"natural integer size of the machine" and you just _have_ to tell the compiler
+how many bits you want.
+
+The NIC added a new root server, thus pushing the size of a nonauthoritative
+root server response (which includes the root server list in the answer as
+well as the authority sections) over the 512-byte limit.  This showed up a
+long-term BIND bug wherein it failed to set the TC ("truncation occurred")
+bit if truncation occurred anywhere but the answer section.  Since truncation
+was occuring at the end of the packet, in the additional data section, this
+meant that BIND was generating truncated responses without setting TC in the
+response header.  Upon further investigation, I found that BIND ignored TC
+on responses it received from other name servers.  RFC 1035 states that RR's
+from truncated responses should not be cached; with creative interpretation
+of the exact 1035 wording, I found a way to reach this goal while still 
+caching the answer section (as long as the truncation occurred in some other
+section, which 1035 gives no definitive way to determine but I'm happy with
+my guess).
+
+While researching the above, I finally broke down and added credibility
+output to the zone dump files.  They are in the comments so should cause
+no trouble.  There's more work to be done on the dump output; in particular,
+Phil Almquist proposed and even prototyped a "tagging" of all RR's with the
+A RR of the nameserver that sent them to us; this feature should be added
+and the dump output should include it.  This would add a lot to our ability
+to track down corrupt data.
+
+Don Lewis and I had more discussions about TC and ended up agreeing that the
+right thing to do is to set TC on responses that overflow in the answer or
+authority section, truncating at an RR boundary, but do not set TC on responses
+that overflow in the additional-data section (truncating at a {name,type}
+boundary).  This actually solves the root server problem pretty well, since
+BIND 4.9 will, when it tries to use an NS whose A isn't in the cache, generate
+a sysquery() for the missing A.  (Heck, additional data TTL's are depreciated
+at the rate of 5% per use, so this would end up happening pretty quickly even
+if we did cache a partial {name,type} -- but now we won't have to.)
+
+While trying to fix all of this stuff I ended up moving some functions around
+to avoid duplicating them in different source files, and I reformatted some
+source lines that went over 80 characters.  I also made a few things "static"
+that used to be unneccessarily global.  More of that will happen in 4.9.1.
+
+DEC's product version of MIT Hesiod uses SIGXFSZ for what we do with SIGHUP;
+since the default for SIGXFSZ is to exit, it seemed prudent to wire it up to
+do what SIGHUP does instead, so that this BIND can run on DEC Hesiod servers.
+
+At the request of several people, I integrated the USC "dig" and Rutgers
+"host" tools into the distribution.  This required some changes to the
+resolver library's debugging output formats, which will be visible in
+nslookup, nsquery, and any other tool that sets the RES_DEBUG option.
+Note that there is no support for "DEFNAMES" in this version of dig, due
+to design changes between 4.8 (from which "dig" is derived) and 4.9.  there
+is no reason in principle why it can't be made to work, but it doesn't work
+now.  therefore only fully-qualified names can be looked up with this "dig".
+
+I had to change the name of the resolver "state" structure to be "__res_state"
+for standards conformance (really, it is not reasonable to expect that because
+a program includes <resolv.h> it will never define its own structure called
+"state".  This change highlights the imperative that any application which is
+relinked against this resolver must first be recompiled against these include
+files (notably <resolv.h>).  This is true for almost all versions of libresolv.
+
+I asked for items for the "TODO" list and got quite a few.  Check them out
+before you hack; someone else may already have started doing what you want to
+do.  I also asked for tools for the "contrib" subdirectory and got 650KB worth.
+They make the BIND 4.9 distribution a lot larger than 4.8.3 was, but the extra
+bytes are well worth their weight.
+
+Kenneth Almquist (no relation to Phil, as far as I know) posted a patch for
+res_send() that lets it keep track of servers that are responding "SERVFAIL"
+or some other fatal condition; these servers are NOT used for retries of the
+current query.  This information is not persistent between calls to res_send()
+since future calls will probably be for different {name,type} queries, which
+will not neccessarily fail in the same way.  This change is trivial and makes
+a measurable difference in the amount of DNS traffic on my local net.
+
+4.9-BETA ------------------- April 17, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+"Peter Koch" <pk@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE>'s previous patch caused core
+dumps on some systems.  I fixed part of it and Peter sent me a fix for
+the rest of it.  All is now well.
+
+The Bind Operations Guide in doc/BOG has been updated to 4.9.  Also, the
+man page in man/named.8 has had some patches applied.  The copyrights are
+all fixed now.  Let's get this thing OUT of here!
+
+4.9-ALPHA ------------------- March 15, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+There was a really bad bug affecting wildcards.  I received a patch
+from "Peter Koch" <pk@TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> which fixes some of
+it, but I can't quite motivate myself to fix the rest of it since I
+know that what's _really_ wrong is going to require chainsaws and
+dynamite to fix and that'll add another year to the release.  I think
+that this patch will hold us for a while.
+
+There are a LOT of portability changes that I'm holding onto, especially
+including 64-bit fixes.  Do not submit any more portability changes
+until 4.9.1 opens.  Go ahead and make them, but be prepared to remake
+them later.  Let me know what you are doing but don't send me any diffs
+for portability until I ask for them.  4.9 has been stuck in the barrel
+for way too long already -- patches that don't fix RFC-noncompliance or
+core dumps will just go into my "todo" folder (which is presently a
+black hole of great mass).
+
+4.9-ALPHA ---------------- Febrtuary 2, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+Mostly portability fixes.  The nslookup "lex" problem is BSDI-specific
+and I'm not going to hold up release because of it.  This will be the
+last alpha release before the public beta.  It is, as usual, running
+the DEC.COM primary name service and has done so for more than a week
+without any problems.
+
+4.9-ALPHA ---------------- January 10, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+Once I get the known bug in nslookup (see below) fixed, this version is going
+to go into public beta.  I would appreciate it if everyone would try it out.
+
+KNOWN BUG IN THIS RELEASE: something wild is going on inside of the yylex()
+routing on BSD/386 systems.  It only affects nslookup.  I'm still trying to
+figure out how I'm going to debug this; lex experts, please see what's going
+on.  None of the changes since the 930105 release should have been capable
+of producing this change, but something is sure doing it.
+
+I finally fixed the {GET,PUT}{SHORT,LONG} macros to stop issuing warnings
+on HP-UX systems.  They are also warning-free on Ultrix(SPIM,VAX), BSDI(386),
+and SunOS(SPARC) systems.  I took the plunge and changed the internal functions
+in res/res_comp.c to depend on these macros instead of duplicating the code,
+and everything still works.
+
+Tom Limoncelli found three ancient memory leaks.  I fixed two of them
+but the last one looks too much like a "cannot happen" for me to be
+willing to experiment with it.  Besides which, it's "very" minor.
+
+Uses setsid() on POSIX systems.  PID file is now optional.  (arc@sgi)
+
+Comments (";" or "#") are now allowed in resolv.conf (arc@sgi).
+
+Documentation and copyright changes in README.
+
+Known to compile on NeXT machines.
+
+Some portability changes for AIX, whose CC is very picky.
+
+I forgot to mention in the 921227 release that T_RP is supported (arc@sgi).
+
+I included a number of changes that Alan Barrett has been trying to get
+in since the 921221 version.  Most are portability-related, and the few
+things that are functional are changes to my own previous additions :-),
+so I'm fairly sure that they are doing the right thing.  Alan's changes
+include:
+
+    include/arpa/nameser.h
+	improved error diagnosis in the BYTE_ORDER configuration.
+
+	changed hp9000 test to hp9000s300.  As far as I know, there is
+	no hp9000 preprocessor symbol.  Should probably add other
+	hp9000s<whatever> tests, but have not done so.
+
+    named/ns.h
+	Moved the XFER-related stuff from the end of the file to near
+	the top, where it is grouped with similar stuff.
+
+    Makefiles:
+	Add SYSLIBS variable, so folk can compile with -lBSD easily.
+
+	Changed install targets to make them easier to customise.
+
+	make links wasn't handling named.{reload,restart}*
+
+	Add ${CDEBUG} flag to link step.  Some debuggers don't work
+	right if the program isn't linked with the -g flag.
+
+    struct timeval members are declared as unsigned long on some systems.
+	Add casts to (long) in several if statements that appear to assume
+	that tv_sec is signed.
+
+    PID_FIX in ns_main.c controlled more than just whether or not the
+    pid file gets fixed.
+	Changed it to control only that one feature.
+
+    For debugging, it is useful for a nameserver to listen to non-standard
+    port, but to forward requests to a standard port.
+	Add "-p remote/local" option to named/ns_main.c.
+	Also needed some other changes elsewhere.
+
+    Don't forward back to the host that asked us a question, unless they
+    asked from some port other than their nameserver port.  This allows a
+    dig or nslookup user on a host to ask us questions with
+    recursion-desired, where we are willing to recursively ask the
+    nameserver on their host.  However, if a nameserver asks us something
+    we will not recurse back to them.
+	nslookup() in named/ns_forw.c checks for this and returns -1.
+	ns_forw() and sysquery() notice this and return SERVFAIL.
+
+	Moved the nsContainsUs functionality from a separate routine
+	into nslookup().  No need to do the same tree walk several times.
+
+    While trying to track down various problems, added detection
+    and logging of errors in several syscalls in ns_main.c.
+
+    Avoid integer overflow in roundtrip time calc in ns_resp.
+    This needs a definition for INT_MAX.
+
+    Fixed root zone transfer bug.  Also corrected some slightly misleading
+    comments in the doaxfr() code, and added some more comments.
+
+4.9-ALPHA ---------------- January 5, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+This one was built and tested on Ultrix 4.2 (SPIM, MIPS CC and GCC),
+BSD/386 (Gamma.4), Sun SPARC (4.0.3, sorry, that's the latest I have),
+4.3BSD Reno (VAX, PCC), and Ultrix 3.0 (VAX PCC).
+
+Moved res/defs.h to conf/portability.h; named/options.h to conf/options.h.
+
+Portability changes for O_NDELAY.  SUNOS is really strange about this.
+
+Removed some unneccessary goto's added to ns_main.c on 1jan.  Oops.
+
+Art Harkin of HP sent in a number of small (read: obviously correct)
+improvements, some related to portability, some to functionality.
+
+4.9-ALPHA ---------------- January 1, 1993 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+Changed all O_NONBLOCK to O_NDELAY.  Changed all {r}index to str{r}chr.
+
+Added some SysV support in the form of bcopy->memcpy, bzero->memset.
+
+Added C_HS support to named-xfer (greg@duke.cs.unlv.edu).
+
+Fixed a line-number problem in asp's "include" logic (asp@uunet.uu.net).
+
+streamq's were being used after free().  bug report from fuat@ans.net
+and jpe@ee.egr.duke.edu.  bug fix by vixie.
+
+In the resolver, we now default to address 127.0.0.1 rather than 0.0.0.0.
+There's a comment in the code that explains why.
+
+In the resolver, arc@xingping.esg.sgi.com changed it to use inet_aton()
+and included that function for those not running 4.4bsd.

+
+4.9-ALPHA ---------------- December 27, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+Added strtoul() to libresolv.a since it's yet another neccessary function
+that older systems don't have.  If we can stomach strcasecmp() we can sure
+handle this.
+
+Moved res/named/gethostnamadr.c to res/gethnamaddr.c (note basename change)
+and res/named/sethostent.c to res/sethostent.c.  Since the host table stuff
+isn't in separate files any more I saw no reason to retain the subdirectory.
+
+Updated all the copyrights and applied the small lint changes that bring
+the baseline of this version from "4.8.3 as seen on ucbarpa" up to "4.8.3
+as released with net-2".  Thanks to the alpha testers for pointing this out
+to me and for sending in the diffs.
+
+With much howling and screaming, I ported this to UMIPS (MIPS System V).
+There are a lot of really bad things going on in their libc.a, and now
+they're going on in BIND as well.
+
+I added a "res/defs.h" file and then proceeded to include it from all kinds
+of files that aren't in res/.  I'm thinking of moving it but I'm also trying
+to figure out where -- include/ is the wrong place.  res/defs.h has in it all
+the ugly ifdef's needed to figure out whether this is a late-model BSD system,
+a POSIX system, or just old.
+
+All the "#endif" and "#else" cpp directives now have comments around their
+annotations.  It turns out that System V CPP complains about "#endif DEBUG"
+but has no problem with "#endif /*DEBUG*/".  In many cases where the #ifdef
+was obviously visible and unambiguous, I simply removed the annotation.
+
+The "l" is now a ";".  Thanks to all who replied :-).
+
+There was a very bad bug in the named-xfer interface.  'nuff said.
+
+AIX needs a 32-bit field for PID's.  I can't imagine.  But it's fixed.
+
+The "domain" directive in named.boot is now an option, defaulting to off.
+
+There was a benign bug in sqrm().
+
+doaxfr() is now shorter and clearer.
+
+There is an "include" directive in the named.boot file now.  Its syntax is
+simple: "include somefile".  No quotes, no "#", no <brackets>.  This feature
+was in 4.9-ALPHA as well, courtesy of Andrew Partan.  I forgot to document it.
+
+4.9-ALPHA ---------------- December 21, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+This release incorporates fixes from a lot of people, including many from
+DECWRL.  Some fixes are just lint; some are to avoid dumping core on non-VAX
+computers; many are to fix promiscuity, corruption, and rudeness.
+
+Various internal DEC programmers have ported the old 4.8.3 code to various
+not-entirely-BSD-like platforms and turned up some interesting lint.  All
+of this has been fixed.  Also, we fixed a bad bug in the handling of timeouts
+and SERVFAIL's when forwarders and slave are both used.
+
+I have made major changes to the code inside the ALLOW_UPDATES ifdef's, but
+I don't use it and have never compiled with that option turned on so I don't
+know if it still works.  Given that SNMP has come and there is an IETF WG for
+SNMP management of the DNS, I am thinking very seriously of purging all of the
+ALLOW_UPDATES code in 4.9.1.  I suspect that Mike Schwartz will let me know if
+this is ok..
+
+(interrim "KJB" notes) ------------------- March, 1992 -- Paul Vixie -- DECWRL
+
+If we are about to forward a query for some zone for which we are one of the
+servers, we send back a SERVFAIL instead.  If we don't have it, chances are
+good that the other name servers won't have it either.  This is the major
+cause of "network meltdown" when the root servers declare you as a name server
+for some zone you don't know about and havn't configured yourself for.
+
+Fixed a memory leak such that if db_update() fails to update the database
+from a response packet, a databuf will no longer be orphaned.  Also fixed
+what looks like a similar leak in the ALLOW_UPDATES code but I don't use it
+that hasn't been tested.
+
+Fixed a memory sponge such that if we forward a query to someone who is not
+ever going to answer it, we will eventually expire it from our query queue.
+Previously it would expire after N retries to N' different servers, which
+could be a very long time.  Particularly in the case of lame delegations and
+other forwarding loops, we feel that 90 seconds (two max-retry intervals) is
+enough time for a query to be answered.  While we were into this code we made
+several fields in the query structure into "short"'s since they were only
+being used to store smallish integers.  The query list gets Very Long during
+a forwarding loop -- even 90 seconds worth of queries is a lot of queries.
+
+This version includes my hacks that assign a "credibility index" to each
+<name,type> such that when more credible data arrives for a given
+<name,type>, all old data is purged.  When equally-credible data arrives it
+is aggregated in the way we all know and love; when less credible data
+arrives it is completely ignored.  Credibility, from best to worst, is:
+	1. zone files (primary or secondary)
+	2. authoritative answers
+	3. non-authoritative answers and authority records
+	4. additional data
+	5. zone files ("cache" or "bootstrap" information)
+You need this version of bind if you still show any A RR's in network
+32.0.0.0 when you look up uucp-gw-1.pa.dec.com's A or adobe.com's NS.
+
+I have also added some extra code to prevent pollution of the internal
+"hint cache."  In all versions of BIND that I was able to test, any IN_A
+response to any sysquery() would cause the IN_A RR to be added to the
+fcachetab ("hint cache").  This resulted in lots of extra cruft in the hint
+cache, that wasn't timed out properly, which in turn resulted in lots of
+strange answers ('nuff said, take my word for it.)
+
+Though changes have been made to make the Ultrix and GNU (2.1) C compilers
+stop complaining about the source, it should still compile and run just
+about anywhere.  In fact, after I cleaned up lots of old lint, this version
+of BIND is known to compile and run on:
+
+	Ultrix 4.2 (MIPS or VAX)
+	SunOS 4.0.3
+	BSD/386 (BSDi beta)
+
+This was being released as King James Bind because, like KJ Sendmail, it is
+a merge of every major variant of Bind that we know about.  It was
+assembled and tested by Paul Vixie of DEC NSL/WRL, with generous donations
+of code and advice from Win Treese of DEC CRL.  Changes from Don Lewis of
+Harris, Andrew Partan of UUNET, and Piet Beertema of EUNet are also included.
+See the OPTIONS file for a description of the changes you can control with
+#ifdef's.
+
+This server has been run on UUCP-GW-{1,2}.PA.DEC.COM, which are in the UUCP
+Zone.  Our named.boot file has ~1900 lines in it.  Before we instituted the
+changes in this release, our name server usually ran at about 16MB virtual,
+15MB physical, growing slowly but constantly until we restarted it.
+Whenever a new zone was added to the NIC's root zone listing us as a name
+server, our servers would kill themselves and eachother (and NS.UU.NET, one
+of the other UUCP Zone name servers) with forwarding loops.  After these
+changes, we run at a fairly constant 8MB virtual and physical size, and our
+apparent CPU utilization is always 0.0% since we never finish a quantum and
+the scheduler always sees us as waiting for I-O.  In other words, life is good.
+
+Notes from UCB version 4.8.3 follow:
+
+-------------------
+
+This is version 4.8.3 of bind.  It is a test release that updates
+versions 4.8 and 4.8.1 with fixes, and is essentially the same as
+the version of named on the 4.3BSD Reno release.  Although it is
+currently described as a test release, it is believed to be reasonably
+stable and more usable than the previously-released versions.
+Here are some of the more important changes:
+
+  o A list of domains may be specified for searching in resolv.conf instead
+    of just the local domain name.
+
+  o gethostbyname() will accept a dotted quad.
+
+  o Support has been added for the the T_TXT data type and for the class
+    C_HS.  These are both used by Hesiod from Project Athena at MIT.
+
+  o All of the pathnames have been put into one header file.  This
+    makes it easier to change the location based upon your local
+    configuration.
+
+  o Responses are only accepted from an address to which we might of sent
+    the request.  This might cause problems if some server is multihomed
+    and is still running BIND 4.3, but it prevents attacks induced by
+    sending responses from another address.
+
+  o Numerous bugs have been fixed:  Adding a new authoritative zone now
+    works when the server has a cached SOA record.  Comparisons in the
+    db now look at type and class as well instead of dropping records
+    with identical data.  Scheduling of maintenance interrupts has been
+    moved to one routine avoid spurious ones.  Named goes into the background
+    after more of the initialization is done.  Stream connection queue
+    handling was cleaned up including a bug that caused data corruption
+    and core dumps.  Sys5 no longer can have multiple transfers of the
+    same zone occuring at the same time.  Handle CNAME -> CNAME loops
+    more gracefully.  Avoid making one server never get queried.  Border
+    conditions in resolver are checked more accurately.
+
+  o Nslookup has been updated.
+
+There are several bug reports that have yet to be integrated into this
+version.  Hopefully they will be dealt with in the next release.  Please
+send feedback on this release.
+
+Notes from versions 4.8.1 and 4.8 follow:
+
+------------------
+
+This is version 4.8.1 of bind.  It is a test release that includes
+version 4.8 with fixes, asynchronous zone transfer and better reload
+capabilities.  Although it is currently described as a test release,
+it is believed to be reasonably stable and more usable than the currently-
+released version, 4.8.  The changes of note are:
+
+  o The asynchronous zone transfer code previously posted to the bind
+    mailing list has been integrated, completed and tested.  There are
+    a number of changes from the version posted, including fixes to
+    allow top-level domains to work and a simplification of the timer
+    code.
+
+  o The code for reloading the server has been changed so that only
+    primary zones master files that have changed are reloaded.  The
+    cache and secondary zones are not flushed, and the sortlist, domain,
+    etc. are reset to correspond to the boot file contents.
+
+  o Several bugs have been fixed: the name "*" is not interpreted as
+    a wildcard in cached zones, only in primary zones.  Secondary servers
+    no longer decrement the time-to-live of records by the time since
+    they verified the zone with the master; as a result, they never
+    hand out nameserver referrals with too short a TTL to be usable.
+    A bug was fixed that caused secondary servers with out-of-date
+    zones to return empty answers between the actual expiration time
+    and the next timeout.
+
+There are several other bugs that have been reported but have not yet
+been fixed.  In addition, the next regular release of named will
+support negative caching, but this has not been integrated.
+
+I would appreciate receiving feedback on this release; in particular,
+problems (or lack of problems) when installing on various systems.
+I attempted to update the SysV code when integrating the zone-transfer,
+but haven't tested it.
+
+The notes from version 4.8 follow.
+
+----------
+Welcome to version 4.8 of bind.
+
+There have been several changes to the named boot file (/etc/named.boot)
+of which you should be aware.  The "domain" line for each zone is no longer
+needed, but one such line may still be used to specify a default domain
+to be used for queries containing names with only a single component.
+The term "suffixes", which was added in version 4.7alpha, has been removed.
+
+The manual page on named (named.8) has been updated to reflect all
+these changes.  Please read this and look at the example files
+before installation.  You should also note the changes in the
+resolver code to support non-fully-qualified addresses and per-user
+host aliases.  See hostname(7) for an overview.  Two new routines
+have been added to the resolver library since the last test release:
+res_query formulates a query, sends it, waits for a response and does
+preliminary error checking; res_search implements the search rules
+of gethostbyname using res_query.
+
+The MX lookup routine in sendmail has been modified to use res_search.  
+Also, dn_skip takes an additional parameter and has been renamed
+to dn_skipname.  While old sendmail binaries will work with the new
+version of bind, because of these changes, it is desirable to install
+new sendmail sources and recompile sendmail.  Do not rebuild sendmail 
+from old sources.   The new sendmail is on ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU for
+anonymous FTP from pub/4.3/sendmail.MX.tar and pub/4.3/sendmail.MX.tar.Z.
+
+There have been numerous changes to named, fixing most of the known
+bugs that can be fixed without major structural changes in the server.
+Several server configurations that failed before should now work.
+Certain robustness problems have been fixed, in particular bounds-
+checking when processing incoming packets.  Two changes have been made
+in preparation for negative caching: SOA records are sent in the authority
+section in negative responses with NXDOMAIN set, and a bug was fixed that
+caused confusion and repeated requests if a response had no error, no answer
+and an SOA in the authority section.  As such responses are already sent
+by other servers, and will be sent by the next release of BIND, it is
+important that all sites upgrade to this version as quickly as possible.
+
+The root "hint" cache and cache file remain the largest problem area,
+along with named's naivete in accepting bogus server's data.
+These will be addressed in the next release, along with asynchronous
+zone transfers, intelligent reloading of zone files, faster startup,
+and caching of negative responses.
+
+This version (4.8) will replace the last officially released version (4.5).
+Version 4.5 has a serious bug that causes the generation of a continuous
+stream of bogons to the root domain servers (bogus queries with the query
+response bit set and possibly garbage for nsid and rcode).  It is imperative
+that these versions of named be replaced as fast as possible.  We urge you to
+field 4.8 quickly, for the sake of the root domain servers.
