- June 14, 1996 — released bind493a.zip, initial release
- July 1, 1996 — bind493b.zip contains this wonderful LATEX -README and, more important, a
fix for the ''core dump'' bug when set up as a secondary name server (well, now everything is linked static);
some cleanups were done to the Makefiles; this is just an update release, it contains only executables and this README!
- July 3, 1996 — released bind493c.zip to fix a bug which occurred when transferring a zone;
it contains only named.exe and an updated README.
/* kernels that map pages for IO end up failing if the pipe is full
at exit and we take away the final buffer. this is really a kernel
bug but it's harmless on systems that are not broken, so... */
- August 2, 1996 — rename() does not overwrite the target under OS/2, implemented an awkward work-around (see compat/lib/rename_unixstyle.c).
- August 3, 1996 — started to make the bind stuff more dynamic – looking for environment variables ETC and TMP or TEMP first...
- August 8, 1996 — nsloopup.help is now searched in the path specified by the HELP environment variable;
the following optional environment variables are supported now:
NAMED_XFER may point to the named-xfer program,
NAMED_BOOT locates the named.boot file and NSLOOKUP_HELP may point to the nslookup.help file;
important: upon request temporary files are now created in /tmp (not in /temp anymore) per default, set TMP or TEMP environment variable to override this behaviour.
- September 4, 1996 — leeched bind 4.9.4pl1, applied the patched from the 4.9.3 port and reworked the Makefiles – hope it works! :-)
