The May 2021 maintenance releases of BIND are available and can be downloaded
from the ISC software download page, https://www.isc.org/download

A summary of changes in the new releases can be found in their release notes:

current supported stable branches:

9.11.32 - https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.11.32/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.11.32.html
9.16.16 - https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.16.16/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.16.16.html

experimental development branch:

9.17.13 - https://downloads.isc.org/isc/bind9/9.17.13/RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.17.13.html

Please note:

The 9.17 experimental development branch is produced on a best-effort basis.
In this particular set of releases, an issue in our build tools prevented
the creation of the usual installer package for Windows users. Rather than
delay the release, we went ahead, with the consequence that there are no
Windows zips provided for the 9.17 branch this month.

Zip files with Windows packages were provided as usual for the 9.11 and
9.16 branches.

Hi ISC people,

RELEASE-NOTES-bind-9.16.16.html
I was just reading the release notes, and noticed:

"The default value of the max-ixfr-ratio option was changed to
unlimited, for better backwards compatibility in the stable release series."

Thank you for this. Just yesterday, I was looking at XFRs between BIND
9.16.15, and a downstream Knot DNS server, which kept getting AXFRs
instead of IXFRs. I was going to open an issue about this in GitLab.
However, upgrading to 9.16.16 restored the previous (expected) behaviour.

Regards,
Anand

Bleeding-edge distros like Gentoo Linux will probably have packages
within a short time. If you use Homebrew on your system, you'll also
have the newest version soonish.

Most of the major distributions are conservative, and are unlikely to
have this new version in their base installation any time soon. However,
ISC creates packages of the newst versions for some of the more common
distros like Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and Fedora. Check out this page for
more information:

As Anand already wrote: our Enterprise releases won't have this atm,
unless you request it through the official channels.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed will hopefully have in a few days.

I already tried the official Repository on my existing Ubuntu 18.04 and it
worked perfectly.

Nevertheless I think there is a bug. IIR the previous default was 100% (switch to AXFR if IXFR would be grater than AXFR) and we also saw plenty of AXFR although the IXFR difference was very small and far away from 100%

Yes, I agree. I noticed the same thing. This feature needs more logging
and testing before it can be enabled by default.

Well, yes, that’s why the default was reverted. There’s a bug in the feature, and there’s already MR fixing it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If anybody is willing to test the fix, I would be happy to point them towards the MR (and patch).
