[Petr Spacek]

The new version has also been built for Fedora 19:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/bind-dyndb-ldap-3.0-1.fc19

This release includes several fixes and new features.

== Changes in 3.0 ==

[1] DNAME records are supported. DNAME attribute was changed to single-valued.
     https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/63

[2] Master and forward zones now have separate object classes:
     idnsZone and idnsForwardZone. idnsForward* attributes in idnsZone object
     class will have old semantics for some time.
     https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/99

[3] Settings system was heavily refactored. From now, unknown options in
     configuration file cause error. DNS dynamic updates should create
     slightly lower load on LDAP server because of settings 'cache'.
     https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/53
     https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/81

[4] Deadlock triggered by PTR record synchronization was fixed.

== Upgrading ==

An server can be upgraded simply by installing updated rpms. BIND has to be 
restarted manually after the RPM installation.

You will need to clean up configuration file /etc/named.conf if your 
configuration contains typos or other unsupported options.

Downgrading back to any 2.x version is supported under following conditions:
- new object class idnsForwardZone is not utilized
- DNAME records are not utilized
- configured connection count is >= 3 (to prevent deadlocks in 2.x releases)
