+Version 5.0  [2019-01-30]

 
 

-  o  Added the FORWARDING macro for generating forward-only zones.
+  Added support for DNSSEC. See section 8 of README.

 
 

-Version 3.1  [21-05-2008]
+  It turned out that configurability of directory names (e.g., HASHDIR)
+  was incomplete and it made all scripts unnecessarily complicated.
+  We replaced the configuration variables by hard-coded names equal
+  to the previous default settings which hopefully nobody ever needed
+  to change.
+
+Version 4.0  [2011-10-22]
+
+  This version brings several incompatible changes with a common
+  goal: instead of generating a full named.conf, produce a fragment
+  which can be included from a parent config file.
+
+  o  BIND_OPTIONS, FORWARD and SLAVE are gone. Just write the
+     options to the parent config file. (If you think it is somewhat
+     inconvenient, ask BIND developers to change the config file
+     parser, so that multiple options { } sections can be specified.)
+  o  Root hints became optional. If you want them, use ROOTHINT().
+
+  Furthermore, several features have been added:
+
+  o  A FORWARDING macro for generating forward-only zones.
+  o  A BLACKHOLE macro for blackhole zones as per RFC 6303.
+     Blackhole zones in example cf/domains updated to use this macro.
+  o  When contents of a zone do not change, the version number is
+     not incremented. Unfortunately, BIND tends to produce a warning
+     in such cases, and it cannot be turned off.
+
+Version 3.1  [2008-05-21]

 
   o  Fixes for compatibility problems with recent versions of GNU m4.
   o  Added support for TXT, RP and SRV records.

   o  ZONE_OPTIONS macro added, allowing to add custom options to zones.
