BIND 10 Face to Face Meeting

23 Nov 2009
Jelte Jansen

During the last week of October, the BIND 10 team got together in ISC's offices to work in the same room for an entire week.  Besides a lot of discussions where we could make use of the high bandwidth of having everybody together in the same room, there were coding sessions. The goal for the week: get something running.  What exactly hadn't been specified in advance yet, and that was the topic of the first discussion.

Software Robustness and BIND 10

Introduction

We have been discussing exceptions on the BIND 10 developers mailing list. Exceptions are a technique used by most modern programming languages that allow you to alter the normal flow of programs in unusual cases.

My hope is that exceptions can be part of a larger strategy for increasing the robustness of BIND 10. I gave a talk about this at the T-DOSE conference in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, recently -- this post is a summary of those ideas.

ISC recently improved its software support lifetime and End-of-Life (EOL) policies. Previously, ISC only provided public development and commercial support for the latest major release version and the prior major release version. Also the next older major release version became EOL six months after the latest major release was announced. (So for six months, three major versions are supported.)

 

BIND 10 The Story So Far...

05 Sep 2009
By Shane Kerr, BIND 10 Programme Manager

BIND 10 is, briefly, a re-design and re-write of BIND 9. BIND 9 is itself a re-design and re-write of BIND 8. BIND 9 is by far the most widely used DNS server on the Internet (one estimate is something like 80% of DNS servers). For ISC, and I think for the DNS community, BIND 10 is going to be a Big Deal.
