+
+  Python 3.10 or newer is now required for running the system test
+  suite. The required python packages and their version requirements are
+  now tracked in `bin/tests/system/requirements.txt`.
+
+  Support for pytest 9.0.0 has been added its minimum supported version
+  has been raised to 7.0.0. The minimum supported dnspython version has

+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fix brid and hhit implementation.
+
+  Fix bugs in BRID and HHIT implementation and enable the unit tests.
+  :gl:`#5710`
+
+- DSYNC record incorrectly used two octets for the Scheme Field.
+
+  When creating the `DSYNC` record from a structure, `uint16_tobuffer`
+  was used instead of `uint8_tobuffer` when adding the scheme, causing a
+  `DSYNC` record that was one octet too long. This has been fixed.
+  :gl:`#5711`
