+Notes for BIND 9.17.20
+----------------------
+
+Security Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- None.
+
+Known Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- None.
+
+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Implement incremental resizing of RBT hash tables to perform the rehashing
+ gradually instead all-at-once to be able to grow the memory usage gradually
+ while keeping steady response rate during the rehashing. :gl:`#2941`
+
+- Add finer-grained ``update-policy`` rule types, ``krb5-subdomain-self-rhs``
+ and ``ms-subdomain-self-rhs``, that restrict updates to SRV and PTR records
+ so that their content can only match the machine name embedded in the
+ Kerberos principal making the change. :gl:`#481`
+
+Removed Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Add support for OpenSSL 3.0.0. OpenSSL 3.0.0 deprecated 'engine' support.
+ If OpenSSL 3.0.0 has been built without support for deprecated functionality
+ pkcs11 via engine_pkcs11 is no longer available. At this point in time
+ there is no replacement ``provider`` for pkcs11 which is the replacement to
+ the ``engine API``. :gl:`#2843`
+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Because the old socket manager API has been removed, "socketmgr"
+ statistics are no longer reported by the statistics channel. :gl:`#2926`
+
+- `UseSTD3ASCIIRules`_ is now enabled for IDN support. This enables additional
+ validation rules for domains and hostnames within dig. :gl:`#1610`
+
+.. _UseSTD3ASCIIRules: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr46/#UseSTD3ASCIIRules
+
+- The default for ``dnssec-dnskey-kskonly`` is changed to ``yes``. This means
+ that DNSKEY, CDNSKEY, and CDS RRsets are now only signed with the KSK by
+ default. The additional signatures from the ZSK that are added if the option
+ is set to ``no`` add to the DNS response payload without offering added value.
+ :gl:`#1316`
+
+- The output of ``rndc serve-stale status`` has been clarified. It now
+ explicitly reports whether retention of stale data in the cache is enabled
+ (``stale-cache-enable``), and whether returning of such data in responses is
+ enabled (``stale-answer-enable``). :gl:`#2742`
+
+- The default for ``dnssec-policy``'s ``nsec3param`` is changed to use
+ no extra iterations and no salt. :gl:`#2956`.
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Reloading a catalog zone that referenced a missing/deleted zone
+ caused a crash. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2308`
+
+- Logfiles using ``timestamp``-style suffixes were not always correctly
+ removed when the number of files exceeded the limit set by ``versions``.
+ :gl:`#828`
+
+- Some lame delegations could trigger a dependency loop, in which a
+ resolver fetch was waiting for a name server address lookup which was
+ waiting for the same resolver fetch. This could cause a recursive lookup
+ to hang until timing out. This now detected and avoided. :gl:`#2927`
