BIND 9.5.0-P2 is now available via the BIND Forum web site at https://bindforum.isc.org. Please see the file CHANGES for a detailed list of changes in this release. This is the SECOND security patch for BIND 9.5.0, addressing performance and stability issues in BIND 9.5.0-P1. Key features are as follows: - performance improvement over the P1 releases, namely + significantly remedying the port allocation issues + allowing TCP queries and zone transfers while issuing as many outstanding UDP queries as possible + additional security of port randomization at the same level as P1 - also includes fixes for several bugs in the 9.5.0 base code NOTE: There are some remaining stability problems in 9.5.0-P2 when running under Microsoft Windows. A fix has been implemented, but missed the cutoff time for this release; it will be addressed in a Windows-specific release very soon.
