The Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) has announced the release of new maintenance versions of BIND 9, specifically 9.18.36, 9.20.8, and 9.21.7. These updates are now available for download on the ISC software download page, along with packages and container images that are set to be updated later today. The releases include improvements and fixes in their respective stable branches and an experimental development branch.
For users interested in the specifics of what has changed in these versions, detailed release notes are accessible through the following links:

Additionally, users are reminded that the supported platforms for BIND are outlined in the ARM (Architecture Reference Manual) and a knowledge base article. Notably, support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7) ended in June 2024, and BIND will no longer compile on that platform.
As we look ahead, it is essential for users and system administrators to stay updated with these releases to ensure optimal performance and security of their DNS services. With ongoing development and maintenance, BIND continues to be a reliable choice for DNS solutions. Users are encouraged to review the release notes carefully to understand the enhancements and consider upgrading to the latest versions to leverage new features and improvements
