Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- The memory statistics were reduced to a single counter InUse (with Malloced as
- alias). Most of the counters were useful with the old BIND 9 internal memory
- allocator that has been removed. The InUse/Malloced counter is the only one
- that bears any real value in production. :gl:`#3718`
+- The memory statistics have been reduced to a single counter,
+ ``InUse``; ``Malloced`` is an alias that holds the same value. The
+ other counters were usable with the old BIND 9 internal memory
+ allocator, but they are unnecessary now that the latter has been
+ removed. :gl:`#3718`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
-- A constant stream of zone additions and deletions via ``rndc reconfig`` could
- cause increased memory consumption due to delayed cleaning of view memory.
- This has been fixed. :gl:`#3801`
