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.

wmDate is a date-display utility. It was originally based
on the displaying lay-out of asclock (which in turn is based
on the time-display utility used in NeXTStep).

wmcalc is a program designed to act as a simple four-function
calculator. It is different from other calculator programs,
however in that it is designed to take up very little desktop
space.

wmbutton is a 64x64 pixel application that displays nine
buttons. Each of these buttons can be configured via a
configuration file to run just about any application you'd
like to.
Changes:
- Fix for test cases that failed because of URI-1.10 now encode
space as '+' instead of '%20.
- Makefile.PL: Require URI-1.10.
HTTP::Daemon now accepts any non-space character as method name
on the request line. It used to fail on methods like "M-POST"
because it only allowed \w-chars.
- HTTP::Date now allow fractional seconds in ISO date formats.
- HTTP::Request::Common will now calculate Content-length
even if $DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD is set.
