What's New

   * June 27, 1997
        o Updated to the 8.1.1-REL production release which includes
          various fixes and enhancements.  A particularly evil security bug
          has been fixed which will prevent malicious sites from corrupting
          your cache with bogus entries.
        o An MPE-only workaround has been implemented in res_send() so that
          connect()-ing to a datagram socket (which is not supported by
          MPE) is no longer attempted.
        o Dynamic Update has been tested and works if an external machine
          is trying to update BIND/iX; see Known Bugs.
        o MPE's recvfrom() still returns 127.0.0.1 for packets received
          from the local host; see the Known Bugs section below for a long
          explanation of the ramifications. Despite this issue, BIND/iX
          should be usable in a production environment as long as you
          follow good DNS practices by always mirroring your data to one or
          more secondary name servers.
   * June 12, 1997
        o Updated to the 8.1.1-T2B public beta release which includes
          various fixes and enhancements. No new MPE-only changes.
        o The MPE diffs have been submitted to the BIND developers, but
          there wasn't time to include them in the official T2B source
          distribution.
   * June 6, 1997
        o Updated to 8.1.1-T1A (a set of patches only made available to
          official bind-workers and applied on top of the 8.1 general
          public release).  For details see src-mpe/CHANGES.  Includes a
          fixed bin/dnsquery, new configuration options, bin/ndc relocated
          to sbin/ndc, and various bug fixes.
        o Compiles with no integer pointer cast warnings.
