Hi,

About a week ago I uploaded 'bind 9.11.2-p1', today version '9.12.0' was
released. Hm.

For details see:
http://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.12.0/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.12.0.html

"BIND 9.12.0 is a new feature release of BIND. This document summarizes
new features and functional changes that have been introduced on this
branch, as well as features that have been deprecated or removed."

Could someone please take a look at these new/removed features and
changes? I'm not sure whether we can and want to implement this update
in view of the extensive changes.

Best,
Matthias

Hi,

since we don't use named the list of changes is somewhat small-ish.

I don't think we need to chase after every single release for bind as long as it
isn't a security one. So a patched 9.11.x is fine with me as long as it is
supported upstream.

Anyways since this is a .0 release, it probably makes sense to wait a little
until someone else has found the nasty bugs.

Best,
-Michael

Full ACK. I was a bit puzzled about this shortcoming update and the long
lists of changes indicate extensive adjustments.

[By the way: It happened as I thought. It won't build with our current
settings, 'Devel' just stopped. I'll give him a pause...]

;-)

Ok, that is similar to my - second - thought.

Thanks for quick answer! ;-)
