+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Fix dnssec-keygen key collision checking for KEY rrtype keys.
+
+ The :iscman:`dnssec-keygen` utility program failed to detect possible
+ Key ID collisions with the existing keys generated using the
+ non-default ``-T KEY`` option (e.g. for ``SIG(0)``). This has been
+ fixed. :gl:`#5506`
+
+- Fix shutdown INSIST in dns_dispatchmgr_getblackhole.
+
+ Previously, `named` could trigger an assertion in
+ `dns_dispatchmgr_getblackhole` while shutting down. This has been
+ fixed. :gl:`#5525`
+
+- Dnssec-verify now uses exit code 1 when failing due to illegal
+ options.
+
+ Previously, dnssec-verify exited with code 0 if the options could not
+ be parsed. This has been fixed. :gl:`#5574`
+
+- Prevent assertion failures of dig when server is specified before the
+ -b option.
+
+ Previously, :iscman:`dig` could exit with an assertion failure when
+ the server was specified before the :option:`dig -b` option. This has
+ been fixed. :gl:`#5609`
+
+- Skip unsupported algorithms when looking for signing key.
+
+ A mix of supported and unsupported DNSSEC algorithms in the same zone
+ could have caused validation failures. Ignore the DNSSEC keys with
+ unsupported algorithm when looking for the signing keys. :gl:`#5622`
+
+- Skip buffer allocations if not logging.
+
+ Currently, during IXFR we allocate a 2KB buffer for IXFR change
+ logging regardless of the log level. This commit introduces an early
+ check on the log level in dns_diff_print to avoid this.
+
+ Results in a speedup from 28% in the test case from issue #5442.
