This release is an alpha release. There are some major changes in the name
resolution algorithm, there is a new version of the zone compiler (not
finished yet), and there are some internal changes. See the release notes
below for more information.
If you decide to try this release we would appreciate it if you try to
compiler your zones with both the old (zonec) and new (zonec2) compilers.
They should produce exactly the same database file, except in cases where
one of the compilers does not support certain RRs or character escapes. If
they do not produce the same files we'd like to hear about it.
Please read the README document for configuration and installation
instructions.
You can download NSD from http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/
1.3.0
============FEATURES:
- New name lookup algorithm. This required a change to the
database format. Performance should increase at the expense
of database size and memory usage.
- New zone compiler (zonec2) based on flex and yacc, fully RFC
compliant (still in alpha).
CODE CHANGES:
- Database can be loaded using mmap(2) (use the --enable-mmap
configure option to enable). This is useful on operating
systems such as Solaris that do not allow memory overcommit.
- Region based memory allocation and resource management.
- New internal format for storing domain names. Each dname
now includes an array of label offsets within the domain
name.
- Updates to the plugin API.
BUG FIXES:
- Bug #65: The syslog facility is now a compile time option
(--with-facility=FACILITY). The default facility is DAEMON.
- Bug #66: Automatic periodic dumping of the statistics (using
the -s option) is now continued after a database reload.
Hi, Just a minor remark: with the code change that took place in this release I'd strongly recommend calling it 2.x.x Alexis Once Erik Rozendaal wrote:>This release is an alpha release.

looks good, my version of gcc (on linux) doesnt seem to like
"__attribute__ (format ..." for function pointers, I get
"argument format specified for non-function" errors.
I can get it working with ...

I'll test 1.3 properly on Monday, but so far it's loading db files,
and serving records :)

[Quoting Alexis Yushin, on Sep 17, 12:31, in "Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: NS ..."]> Hi, > > Just a minor remark: with the code change that took place in this release I'd > strongly recommend calling it 2.x.xWe had had an extensive discussion on the numbering scheme at the last NSD-team meeting. The version scheme in short: X.Y.Z X: is updated at major functionality changes (like DNSSEC). Y: is updated at major code-changes. Z: is updated at bug-fixes and minor feature changes. Version 1.3.x has a new name resolution algorithm in place plus a new zonefile parser. There is hardly any functionality change with respect to 1.2.x. Version 1.4.x will have a new (two-step) database structure. Again, there will be hardly any functionality change. The steps in 1.3.x and 1.4.x are necessary in preparation for DNSSEC support. Version 2.0.0 will be the first version that includes full DNSSEC support. -- ted
