1 Version 4.0 [2011-10-22]
3 This version brings several incompatible changes with a common
4 goal: instead of generating a full named.conf, produce a fragment
5 which can be included from a parent config file.
7 o BIND_OPTIONS, FORWARD and SLAVE are gone. Just write the
8 options to the parent config file. (If you think it is somewhat
9 inconvenient, ask BIND developers to change the config file
10 parser, so that multiple options { } sections can be specified.)
11 o Root hints became optional. If you want them, use ROOTHINT().
13 Furthermore, several features have been added:
15 o A FORWARDING macro for generating forward-only zones.
16 o A BLACKHOLE macro for blackhole zones as per RFC 6303.
17 Blackhole zones in example cf/domains updated to use this macro.
18 o When contents of a zone do not change, the version number is
19 not incremented. Unfortunately, BIND tends to produce a warning
20 in such cases, and it be turned off.
22 Version 3.1 [2008-05-21]
24 o Fixes for compatibility problems with recent versions of GNU m4.
25 o Added support for TXT, RP and SRV records.
27 Version 3.0.1 [2006-11-22]
29 Fixed bugs in in the FORWARD and SLAVE macros, causing it to
30 generate bogus output sometimes.
32 Version 3.0 [2005-02-20]
34 One year of testing should be good enough, so releasing 2.99b as 3.0
35 with almost no changes. The only one is:
37 o ZONE_OPTIONS macro added, allowing to add custom options to zones.
39 Version 2.99b [2003-12-21]
41 This version has been almost rewritten from scratch. The syntax
42 of configuration files is incompatible with the previous versions,
43 please read the README again.
45 Most important changes:
48 o Much better configuration of classless reverse delegations.
49 o Better documentation and well-commented example files.
50 o The "chkdom" script is gone, use the DNS Sleuth instead.
51 o Cleaned up names of all macros, the namespaces are now clearly
54 Version 2.3 [2001-06-27]
56 o Global parameters (hostmaster mail address etc.) can be set
58 o Autodetect which M4 should be used.
59 o Fixed bugs in convert script.
60 o Generate $TTL to make new releases of bind happy.
62 Version 2.2 [1999-09-11]
64 o Corrected localhost records.
65 o Name-server restart command can be overriden (useful for setups
66 with multiple named's).
67 o Added `convert' script for easy conversion of zone files to NSC
69 o Serial numbers are now Y2K clean.
70 o Added `chkdel' script for checking of zone delegations.
