Notes for BIND 9.18.8
---------------------

Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Upgrading from BIND 9.16.32, 9.18.6, or any older version may require
  a manual configuration change. The following configurations are
  affected:

  - :any:`type primary` zones configured with :any:`dnssec-policy` but
    without either :any:`allow-update` or :any:`update-policy`,
  - :any:`type secondary` zones configured with :any:`dnssec-policy`.

  In these cases please add :namedconf:ref:`inline-signing yes;
  <inline-signing>` to the individual zone configuration(s). Without
  applying this change, :iscman:`named` will fail to start. For more
  details, see
  https://kb.isc.org/docs/dnssec-policy-requires-dynamic-dns-or-inline-signing

- BIND 9.18 does not support dynamic update forwarding (see
  :any:`allow-update-forwarding`) in conjuction with zone transfers over
  TLS (XoT). :gl:`#3512`

- See :ref:`above <relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known
  issues affecting this BIND 9 branch.

New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Support for parsing and validating the ``dohpath`` service parameter
  in SVCB records was added. :gl:`#3544`

- :iscman:`named` now logs the supported cryptographic algorithms during
  startup and in the output of :option:`named -V`. :gl:`#3541`

- The ``recursion not available`` and ``query (cache) '...' denied`` log
  messages were extended to include the name of the ACL that caused a
  given query to be denied. :gl:`#3587`

Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- The ability to use PKCS#11 via engine_pkcs11 has been restored, by
  using only deprecated APIs in OpenSSL 3.0.0. BIND 9 needs to be
  compiled with ``-DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=10100`` specified in the CFLAGS
  environment variable at compile time. :gl:`#3578`

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~

- An assertion failure was fixed in :iscman:`named` that was caused by
  aborting the statistics channel connection while sending statistics
  data to the client. :gl:`#3542`

- Changing just the TSIG key names for primaries in catalog zones'
  member zones was not effective. This has been fixed. :gl:`#3557`
