 Bug Fixes
 ~~~~~~~~~
 
 - When the :any:`stale-answer-enable` option was enabled and the
-  :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` option was enabled and larger than 0,
-  ``named`` was taking two places from the :any:`clients-per-query` limit for
-  each client and was failing to gradually auto-tune its value, as configured.
-  This has been fixed. :gl:`#4074`
-
-- It could happen that after the :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` duration,
-  a delegation from cache was returned to the client. This has now been fixed.
-  :gl:`#3950`
+  :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` option was enabled and larger than
+  0, :iscman:`named` previously allocated two slots from the
+  :any:`clients-per-query` limit for each client and failed to gradually
+  auto-tune its value, as configured. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4074`
+
+- Previously, it was possible for a delegation from cache to be returned
+  to the client after the :any:`stale-answer-client-timeout` duration.
+  This has been fixed. :gl:`#3950`
 
 - BIND could allocate too big buffers when sending data via
   stream-based DNS transports, leading to increased memory usage.
