What's New

* June 27, 1997
o Updated to the 8.1.1-REL production release which includes
various fixes and enhancements. A particularly evil security bug
has been fixed which will prevent malicious sites from corrupting
your cache with bogus entries.
o An MPE-only workaround has been implemented in res_send() so that
connect()-ing to a datagram socket (which is not supported by
MPE) is no longer attempted.
o Dynamic Update has been tested and works if an external machine
is trying to update BIND/iX; see Known Bugs.
o MPE's recvfrom() still returns 127.0.0.1 for packets received
from the local host; see the Known Bugs section below for a long
explanation of the ramifications. Despite this issue, BIND/iX
should be usable in a production environment as long as you
follow good DNS practices by always mirroring your data to one or
more secondary name servers.
* June 12, 1997
o Updated to the 8.1.1-T2B public beta release which includes
various fixes and enhancements. No new MPE-only changes.
o The MPE diffs have been submitted to the BIND developers, but
there wasn't time to include them in the official T2B source
distribution.
* June 6, 1997
o Updated to 8.1.1-T1A (a set of patches only made available to
official bind-workers and applied on top of the 8.1 general
public release). For details see src-mpe/CHANGES. Includes a
fixed bin/dnsquery, new configuration options, bin/ndc relocated
to sbin/ndc, and various bug fixes.
o Compiles with no integer pointer cast warnings.
