+5467.	[func]		The control channel and the rndc utility have been
+			updated to use the new network manager. To support
+			this, the network manager was updated to enable
+			wthe initiation of client TCP connections. Its
+			internal reference counting has been refactored.

+			Note: As side effects of this change, rndc cannot
+			currently be used with UNIX-domain sockets, and its

-- None.
+- ``rndc`` has been updated to use the new BIND network manager API.
+  This change had the side effect of altering the TCP timeout for RNDC
+  connections from 60 seconds to the ``tcp-idle-timeout`` value, which
+  defaults to 30 seconds. Also, because the network manager currently
+  has no support for UNIX-domain sockets, those cannot now be used
+  with ``rndc``. This will be addressed in a future release, either by
+  restoring UNIX-domain socket support or by formally declaring them
+  to be obsolete in the control channel. [GL #1759]
