Latest news:
8.0
====
[1] Unknown record types can be stored in LDAP using generic syntax
    (RFC 3597). LDAP schema was extended for this purpose with the
    UnknownRecord attribute.

[2] PTR record synchronization was improved.
    - New PTR records now inherit the TTL value from the respective A/AAAA
      records.
    - SERVFAIL error is no longer returned to clients if A/AAAA record update
      succeeded but PTR record synchronization failed because of
      misconfiguration. Such errors are only logged.
    - PTR record synchronization was reworked to reduce the probability
      of race condition occurrences.

[3] LDAP rename (MODRDN) for DNS records is now supported.
    Renaming of whole DNS zones is not supported and will lead to errors.

[4] Data changed in LDAP while connection to server was down are now refreshed
    properly.

[5] Crash caused by object class and DN format mismatch were fixed.
    https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/148

[6] Compatibility with BIND 9.9.4 was improved.

[7] Documentation and schema were fixed and improved. The doc/schema.ldif file
    is now properly formatted as LDIF and contains instructions
    for OpenLDAP and 389 DS.

7.0
====
[1] Support for BIND 9.10 was added.
    https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/139


== Upgrading ==
A server can be upgraded by installing updated RPM. BIND has to be restarted
manually after the RPM installation.

Downgrading back to any 7.x version is supported if user is not relying on
support for unknown attribute types or LDAP MODRDN operation.
