+- The :ref:`setting-proxy-protocol-from` and :ref:`setting-proxy-protocol-maximum-size` settings have been added to allow for passing of Proxy Protocol Version 2 headers between a client and the recursor.
+- The :ref:`setting-record-cache-shards` setting has been added, enabling the administrator to change the number of shards in the records cache.
