Overview

Establish and document a clear maintenance strategy for supporting multiple BIND9 versions (9.18 and 9.20+) in this role.

Goals

  • Define version support policy (which versions to support and for how long)
  • Create separate release branches for 9.18 and 9.20+ if needed
  • Document breaking changes between versions
  • Set up CI/CD to test against multiple BIND9 versions
  • Update README with version compatibility matrix
  • Define feature backport strategy

Version Support Matrix

Version Status Branch Support
9.18 LTS Current main/9.18 Yes
9.20+ New 9.20+ In development

Notes

  • BIND9 9.18 is LTS - will be supported longer
  • BIND9 9.20+ may have different release cadence and requirements
  • Consider maintaining separate branches to manage divergence

Relates to #2 for actual 9.20 implementation work
