BIND 9.1.2 is now available. This is a maintenance release, containing
fixes for a number of bugs in 9.1.1 but no new features. We recommend
that all users of earlier versions of BIND 9 upgrade to 9.1.2.
DNSSEC users should note that DNSSEC validation involving algorithms other
than RSA will not interoperate between this version of BIND and version
9.1.1 or older, because the older versions use an incorrect formula for
calculating key tags of non-RSA keys.

BIND 9.1.0 has been released. Compared to BIND 9.0, BIND 9.1 has a
number of new features as well as numerous bug fixes and cleanups.
The new features include:
- Many BIND 8 features previously unimplemented in BIND 9,
including domain-specific forwarding, the $GENERATE
master file directive, and the "blackhole", "dialup",
and "sortlist" options
- Forwarding of dynamic update requests; this is enabled
by the "allow-update-forwarding" option
- A new, simplified database interface and a number of
sample drivers based on it; see doc/misc/sdb for details
- Support for building single-threaded servers for
environments that do not supply POSIX threads
- New configuration options: "min-refresh-time",
"max-refresh-time", "min-retry-time", "max-retry-time",
"additional-from-auth", "additional-from-cache",
"notify explicit"
- Faster lookups, particularly in large zones.
BIND 9.0.0 is the first "general availability" release of BIND
version 9. It is aimed at early adopters and those who wish to
make use of new 9.0 features, such as IPv6 and DNSSEC secure
resolution support.
