+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fix deferred validation of unsigned DS and DNSKEY records.
+
+ When processing a query with the "checking disabled" bit set (CD=1),
+ `named` stores the unvalidated result in the cache, marked "pending".
+ When the same query is sent with CD=0, the cached data is validated,
+ and either accepted as an answer, or ejected from the cache as
+ invalid. This deferred validation was not attempted for DS and DNSKEY
+ records if they had no cached signatures, causing spurious validation
+ failures. We now complete the deferred validation in this scenario.
+
+ Also, if deferred validation fails, we now re-query the data to find
+ out whether the zone has been corrected since the invalid data was
+ cached. :gl:`#5066`
+
+- Fix RPZ race condition during a reconfiguration.
+
+ With RPZ in use, `named` could terminate unexpectedly because of a
+ race condition when a reconfiguration command was received using
+ `rndc`. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5146`
+
+- "CNAME and other data check" not applied to all types.
+
+ An incorrect optimization caused "CNAME and other data" errors not to
+ be detected if certain types were at the same node as a CNAME. This
+ has been fixed. :gl:`#5150`
+
+- Remove NSEC/DS/NSEC3 RRSIG check from dns_message_parse.
+
+ Previously, when parsing responses, named incorrectly rejected
+ responses without matching RRSIG records for NSEC/DS/NSEC3 records in
+ the authority section. This rejection, if appropriate, should have
+ been left for the validator to determine and has been fixed.
+ :gl:`#5185`
