Confirmed release date: Wednesday 9 February 2011 07:00 am (GMT)

This release does not include any significant changes to functionality across our systems. There are a number of usability enhancements and internal systems improvements.

DNSSEC

The EPP testbed will be ready to accept DS records. Documentation for operations relating to DNSSEC is available for Nominet EPP and Standard EPP, along with an introduction to DNSSEC technologies and information for registrars.

Forms

The forms used by online services and web domain manager have been updated.

EPP and Automaton

A change has been made to the underlying Nominet EPP code that alters the formatting of an XML reply to a <domain:list> command where the response contains zero domain names. Further information is available in the Nominet EPP <domain:list> documentation

The EPP schemas for Standard EPP and Nominet EPP have been updated to include support for DNSSEC. This is the only change to schemas and previous versions can still be used for non-DNSSEC operations.

Web Domain Manager

Improvements have been made to the way that WDM lists domain names by expiry date.

Invoicing system

Notification will now be sent to registrars when auto bills are not processed.

DRS system
