The libunbound API version is incremented, it is binary compatible with the previous one (an extra function is available in the dynamic library).

The 1.5.0 release for unbound has the usual list of bugfixes, as well
as a couple of features: a DNS64 module for dns64 support and DNSTAP
support (for information gathering).  Additionally, it has better
random number generation on many platforms with better entropy.
Libunbound has a new routine ub_ctx_add_ta_autr() to add an RFC5011
tracked anchor while using the library.  Statistics prints number of
tcp outgoing traffic.  Unbound-control can flush_negative all error
and nonexist responses for use when a validating-end-host changes
networks.  Unbound.conf has unblock-lan-zones for use when unbound is
running in a LAN.

Compiling

...

If you do not have the libldns library installed, a version is included with
the unbound source tarball, which is automatically used.

I am having a problem with this package, related to ldns dependency.

Building it before and after ldns installed gives the same apparent binary.

Can't find any /usr/*bin/* or library linking to *ldns*.

It has a ldns directory in the source code. I removed it trying to build linked to system, make errors immediately.

No option for --with-ldns=dir in configure.

Most of those observations apply to 1.5.0 and 1.4.22.

lsof outputs no *ldns* open.

Rebooted and the daemon started. Then, removed ldns from the system. Daemon restarted fine.

Everything is indicating that ldns can simply be removed from the dependencies.

Any opinions, observations, help, please?

Features:
- - separate ldns into core ldns inside ldns/ subdirectory.  No more
  configure --with-ldns is needed and unbound does not rely on libldns.

Please don't remove ldns from the book though as it contains the drill utility, a better alternative to bind dig.

Thank you, Igor! Just in time.

I was going to propose removing it, but won't anymore, after your comment.

Unless there is a majority of editors opposing to us.
