+This is the source portion of BIND version 8.2.2, Patchlevel 5.  Its
+companions are "doc" and "contrib" so you are probably not missing anything.
+
+See the CHANGES file for a detailed listing of all changes.  See the INSTALL
+file for information on building and installing BIND.
+
+See the SUPPORT file for information on obtaining commercial support for ISC
+artifacts including BIND, INN, and DHCP.
+
+SECURITY NOTE:
+
+       Solaris and other pre-4.4BSD kernels do not respect ownership or
+       protections on UNIX-domain sockets.  This means that the default
+       path for the NDC control socket (/var/run/ndc) is such that any
+       user (root or other) on such systems can issue any NDC command
+       except "start" and "restart".  The short term fix for this is to
+       override the default path and put such control sockets into root-
+       owned directories which do not permit non-root to r/w/x through them.
+       The medium term fix is for BIND to enforce this requirement internally.
+       The long term fix is for all kernels to upgrade to 4.4BSD semantics.
+
+BIND 8.2.2 patchlevel 5 Highlights
+
+       Bug in named-xfer (from patchlevel 4).
+       Portability to IPv6 versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD.
+       Portability improvements (A/UX, AIX, IRIX, NetBSD, SCO, MPE/IX, NT).
+       "also-notify" option could cause memory allocation errors.
+       IXFR improvements (though client-side is still disabled).
+       Contributed software upgraded (including TIS's "dns_signer").
+       Several latent denial-of-service bugs fixed (from audits, not abuse).
+       New "make noesw" top-level target for removing encumbered components.
+
+BIND 8.2.2 Highlights
+
+       Interoperability with MS-Win2K has been improved.                     
+       Server-side IXFR is now known to work even under high load.                 
+       Support for Windows/NT (thanks to BayNetworks).
+       More fixes, especially to DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, and selective forwarding.
+       More portability improvements and lint removal (A/UX 3.1.1, SCO 5.0).
+       Better NOTIFY behaviour, especially with large update volume.
+       Better UPDATE handling, including SRV RR support and RFC compliance.
+       Fix for "ndc reload ZONENAME" (specific zone reload) problems.
+       Fix for round robin when multiple CNAMEs are in use.
+       New "min-roots" (MINROOTS) and "serial-queries" (MAXQSERIAL) options.
+       Log files are no longer auto-rotated every time the server starts up.
+       New "ndc reconfig" command only finds new/deleted zones, no stat()ing.
+       New global options for "transfer-source" and "also-notify".
+       $GENERATE now supports more record types, and options.
+
+
+BIND 8.2.1 Highlights
+
+       Bug fixes, especially to DNSSEC, TSIG, IXFR, and selective forwarding.
+       Portability improvements and lint removal.
+       Use best SOA rather than first-better when selecting an AXFR master.
+       $TTL now accepts symbolic time values (such as "$TTL 1h30m").
+       "ndc reload" now accepts a zone argument, for single-zone reloads.
+       ndc is better behaved; is verbose or quiet when appropriate.
+       event and error reporting improvements.
+
+BIND 8.2 Highlights
+
+       RFC 2308 (Negative Caching)
+       RFC 2181 (DNS Clarifications)
+       RFC 2065 (DNS Security)
+       TSIG (Transaction SIGnatures)
+       support for multiple virtual name servers
+       NDC uses a "control channel" now (no more signals)
+       "Split DNS" via zone type "forward".
+
+       Many bug fixes
+       Documentation improvements
+       Performance enhancements
+
+
+BIND 8.1.2 Highlights
+
+       Security fixes for a number of problems including:
+
+               An attacker could overwrite the stack if inverse query support
+               was enabled.
+
+               A number of denial of service attacks where malformed packets
+               could cause the server to crash.
+
+               The server was willing to answer queries on its forwarding
+               sockets.
+
+       Several memory leaks have been plugged.
+
+       The server no longer panics if a periodic interface scan fails due
+       to no file descriptors being available.
+
+       Updates to a number of ports.  New ports for QNX, LynxOS, HP-UX 9.x,
+       and HP MPE.
+
+       "files unlimited" now works as expected on systems where setting
+       an infinite rlim_max for RLIMIT_NOFILE works.
+
+       Adding and deleting the same record in the same dynamic update no
+       longer crashes the server.
+
+       If a dynamic update fails, rollback is now done in LIFO order instead
+       of FIFO order.
+
+       Better behavior when priming of the root servers fails.
+
+       purge_zone() didn't work correctly for the root zone, allowing
+       old data to persist after loading the zone.
+
+       Improved handling of oversized UDP packets.
+
+       All hosts on the also-notify list are now notified.
+
+       The meaning of the count returned by select() varies somewhat by
+       operating system, and this could cause previous releases of the
+       server to spin.
+
+       Per-host statistics may be disabled by specifying 'host-statistics no'
+       in named.conf.
+
+       The maximum number of zones has been increased from 32768 to 65536.
+
+       query-source may specify an address and port that the server is
+       already listening on.  BIND 8.1.1 required that either the address
+       or port be wild.  E.g., you can now say:
+
+               listen-on port 53 { 10.0.0.1; };
+               query-source address 10.0.0.1 port 53;
+
+       The value of FD_SETSIZE to use may be specified.
+
+       Experimental -u (set user id), -g (set group id), and -t (chroot)
+       command line options.  See the INSTALL file for details.
+

+To Support the Effort
+
+       Note that BIND is supported by the Internet Software Consortium, and
+       although it is free for use and redistribution and incorporation into
+       vendor products and export and anything else you can think of, it
+       costs money to produce.  That money comes from ISPs, hardware and
+       software vendors, companies who make extensive use of the software,
+       and generally kind hearted folk such as yourself.
+
+       The Internet Software Consortium has also commissioned a DHCP server
+       implementation, has taken over official support/release of the INN
+       system, and supports the Kerberos Version 5 effort at MIT.  You can
+       learn more about the ISC's goals and accomplishments from the web page
+       at <URL:http://www.isc.org/>.
