- many dnssec fixes and features (too many to list them
here, check the changelog)
- improved startup time
- improved scalability
- Added support for Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) resource
records
- Local copies of slave zones are now saved in raw format by
default to improve startup performance
BIND 9.9 changes the default storage format for slave zone
files from text to raw. Because named's behavior when a slave
server cannot read or parse a zone file is to move the offending
file out of the way and retransfer the zone, slave servers
that are updated from a pre-9.9.0 version of BIND and which
have existing copies of slave zone data may wind up with
extraneous copies of zone data stored, as the existing
text-format zone file copies will be moved aside to filenames
of the format db-###### and journal files to the format
jn-###### (where # represents a hexadecimal digit.)
