BIND 9.3.0beta3 is now available. BIND 9.3.0beta3 is a beta release candidate for BIND 9.3. BIND 9.3.0 has a number of new features over 9.2, including: DNSSEC is now DS based. See doc/draft/draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-* DNSSEC lookaside validation (experimental). check-names is now implemented. rrset-order in more complete. IPv4/IPv6 transition support, dual-stack-servers. IXFR deltas can now be generated when loading master files, ixfr-from-differences. It is now possible to specify the size of a journal, max-journal-size. It is now possible to define a named set of master servers to be used in masters clause, masters. The advertised EDNS UDP size can now be set, edns-udp-size. allow-v6-synthesis has been obsoleted. NOTE: * Zones containing MD and MF will now be rejected. * dig, nslookup name. now report "Not Implemented" as NOTIMP rather than NOTIMPL. This will have impact on scripts that are looking for NOTIMPL. libbind: corresponds to that from BIND 8.4.5.
