We are fixing critical = security issues only at this point. It is time to start making plans to = update if you are still running a 9.11 version. (The current release = plan is published at https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896 = <https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896>.) BIND 9.11.0 was published in October of 2016. A *lot* has happened since = then. Also, we have refactored some significant functions in BIND and = 9.16 has quite a few changes compared to 9.11. One of our support engineers analyzed the differences in options between = the versions, and wrote this KB article for people migrating: = https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-911-to-916= = <https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-911-to-91= 6> . We also have updated the =E2=80=98BIND Significant Features Matrix=E2=80=99= with the major feature differences between releases. This is not as = detailed as the KB mentioned above. https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01310 = <https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-01310>. =20 While we don=E2=80=99t have current performance tests that compare the = latest 9.11 version to the latest 9.16 version, we did quite a bit of = performance testing on the 9.16 branch in 2021 and we do not expect any = loss of performance moving from 9.11 to 9.16. (see = https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-resolver-performance-july-2021/ = <https://www.isc.org/blogs/bind-resolver-performance-july-2021/> for = performance results for resolver operations) There may be some changes = in memory utilization, which we have tried to minimize in the latest = versions. (see https://kb.isc.org/docs/bind-memory-consumption-explained = <https://kb.isc.org/docs/bind-memory-consumption-explained> for more = details). For those using the ISC BIND packages: =20 Because we are still patching 9.11, and we haven=E2=80=99t yet issued a = new development branch, we are putting 9.18.0 into the bind-dev = repositories, for now. In April, we plan to do a version rollover: - bind-esv will go from 9.11 to 9.16 - bind will go from 9.16 to 9.18 - bind-dev will go from 9.18.1 to 9.19.0=20 BIND 9.19.0 will be the new development branch.
