-- Fix network manager issue when both success and timeout callbacks can
-  be called for the same read request.
-
-  This commit simplifies code flow in the tls_cycle_input() and makes
-  the incoming data processing similar to that in TCP DNS. In
-  particular, now we decipher all the the incoming data before making a
-  single isc__nm_process_sock_buffer() call. Previously we would try to
-  decipher data bit-by-bit before trying to process the deciphered bit
-  via isc__nm_process_sock_buffer(). Doing like before made the code
-  much less predictable, in particular in the areas like when reading is
-  paused or resumed.
-
-  The newer approach also allowed us to get rid of some old kludges.
+- Make TLS data processing more reliable in various network conditions.
+
+  BIND now deciphers incoming TLS data before processing it, making it
+  more similar to the handling of TCP. This results in a more
+  predictable behavior, particularly when reading from the stream is
+  paused or resumed. Previously, this could result in an assertion
+  failure when using XFR over TLS (XoT). This has been fixed.

 - Don't enforce NOAUTH/NOCONF flags in DNSKEYs.
 
-  All DNSKEY keys are able to authenticate. The `DNS_KEYTYPE_NOAUTH`
-  (and `DNS_KEYTYPE_NOCONF`) flags were defined for the KEY rdata type,
-  and are not applicable to DNSKEY. Previously, however, because the
