- ``dig`` can now report the DNS64 prefixes in use (``+dns64prefix``).
This is useful when the host on which ``dig`` is run is behind an
IPv6-only link, using DNS64/NAT64 or 464XLAT for IPv4aaS (IPv4 as a

+- Earlier releases of BIND versions 9.16 and newer required the
+ operating system to support load-balanced sockets in order for
+ ``named`` to be able to achieve high performance (by distributing
+ incoming queries among multiple threads). However, the only operating
+ systems currently known to support load-balanced sockets are Linux and
+ FreeBSD 12, which means both UDP and TCP performance were limited to a
+ single thread on other systems. As of BIND 9.17.8, ``named`` attempts
+ to distribute incoming queries among multiple threads on systems which
+ lack support for load-balanced sockets (except Windows). [GL #2137]
- The default value of ``max-recursion-queries`` was increased from 75
to 100. Since the queries sent towards root and TLD servers are now

- Handling of missing DNS COOKIE responses over UDP was tightened by
falling back to TCP. [GL #2275]

- Building with native PKCS#11 support for AEP Keyper has been broken
