ISC Concludes BIND 10 Development With Release 1.2 

Project Renamed 'Bundy'

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2014) - Internet Systems
Consortium (ISC) today announced the release of version 1.2 of its BIND
10 software, and with that release announced that ISC has concluded its
development work on BIND 10 and will no longer be updating the source
pool.

BIND 10 release 1.2 consists of an authoritative server, a control
framework, an application interface, a statistics server, a logging
framework, a remote control daemon, a configuration client tool, and
numerous other tools for its development and operation.

"BIND 10 is an excellent software system," said Scott Mann, ISC's Vice
President of Engineering, "and a huge step forward in open-source
infrastructure software. Unfortunately, we do not have the resources to
continue development on both projects, and BIND 9 is much more widely
used."

"The BIND 10 software is open-source," Scott added, "so we are making it
available for anyone who wants to continue its development. The source
will be available from GitHub under the name Bundy, to mitigate the
confusion between it and ISC's BIND 9 (a completely separate
system). The name 'BIND' is associated with ISC; we have changed its
name as a reminder that ISC is no longer involved with the project."

BIND 10 release 1.2 is available from ISC at
http://isc.org/downloads/platform

BIND 10 was a multi-year development project with numerous sponsors
around the world. ISC is grateful for support received from Afilias,
AFNIC, Association DNS.PT, Brazilian Network Information Center
(NIC.BR), Canadian Internet Registry Authority (CIRA), China Internet
Network Information Center (CNNIC), Comcast, CZ NIC z.s.p.o, DENIC eG,
Google Inc., IIS, Japan Registry Services Co, Ltd. (JPRS), Nominet UK,
New Zealand Registry Services (NZRS), Réseaux IP Européens Network
Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC), Stichting Internet Domainregistratie
Nederland (SIDN), Technical Center of Internet, and Uniforum SA. We
expect the continuing development of Bundy to involve an equally diverse
collection of developers and supporters.
