It does not require that you publish or disclose anything other than the changes you made to our software. </p> <p> This requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND, with or without modifications, without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing it without changes. Therefore, this change will be without consequence for most individuals and organizations who are using BIND. </p> <p> Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the license may contact ISC at <a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/" target="_top"> https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/</a>. </p> </div> <div class="section"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"> <a name="win_support"></a>Legacy Windows No Longer Supported</h3></div></div></div> <p> As of BIND 9.11.2, Windows XP and Windows 2003 are no longer supported platforms for BIND; "XP" binaries are no longer available for download from ISC. </p> </div> <div class="section"> <div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"> <a name="relnotes_security"></a>Security Fixes</h3></div></div></div> <div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "> <li class="listitem"> <p> There was a long-existing flaw in the documentation for <span class="command"><strong>ms-self</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>krb5-self</strong></span>, <span class="command"><strong>ms-subdomain</strong></span>, and <span class="command"><strong>krb5-subdomain</strong></span> rules in <span class="command"><strong>update-policy</strong></span> statements.
