+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Tighten 'max-recursion-queries' and add 'max-query-restarts' option.
+ ``fe3ae71e90``
+
+ There were cases in resolver.c when the `max-recursion-queries` quota
+ was ineffective. It was possible to craft zones that would cause a
+ resolver to waste resources by sending excessive queries while
+ attempting to resolve a name. This has been addressed by correcting
+ errors in the implementation of `max-recursion-queries`, and by
+ reducing the default value from 100 to 32.
+
+ In addition, a new `max-query-restarts` option has been added which
+ limits the number of times a recursive server will follow CNAME or
+ DNAME records before terminating resolution. This was previously a
+ hard-coded limit of 16, and now defaults to 11. :gl:`#4741`
+ :gl:`!9283`
+
+- Generate changelog from git log. ``21a0b6aef7``
+
+ Use a single source of truth, the git log, to generate the list of
+ CHANGES. Use the .rst format and include it in the ARM for a quick
+ reference with proper gitlab links to issues and merge requests.

+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Use _exit() in the fatal() function. ``e4c483f45f``
+
+ Since the fatal() isn't a correct but rather abrupt termination of the
+ program, we want to skip the various atexit() calls because not all
+ memory might be freed during fatal() call, etc. Using _exit() instead
+ of exit() has this effect - the program will end, but no destructors
+ or atexit routines will be called. :gl:`!9263`
+
+- Fix data race in clean_finds_at_name. ``541726871d``
+
+ Stop updating `find.result_v4` and `find.result_v4` in
+ `clean_finds_at_name`. The values are supposed to be
+ static. :gl:`#4118` :gl:`!9198`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Reconfigure catz member zones during named reconfiguration.
+ ``944d0dc942``
+
+ During a reconfiguration named wasn't reconfiguring catalog zones'
+ member zones. This has been fixed. :gl:`#4733`
+
+- Disassociate the SSL object from the cached SSL_SESSION.
+ ``64fde41253``
+
+ When the SSL object was destroyed, it would invalidate all SSL_SESSION
+ objects including the cached, but not yet used, TLS session objects.
+
+ Properly disassociate the SSL object from the SSL_SESSION before we
+ store it in the TLS session cache, so we can later destroy it without
+ invalidating the cached TLS sessions. :gl:`#4834` :gl:`!9279`
+
+- Attach/detach to the listening child socket when accepting TLS.
+ ``3ead47daff``
+
+ When TLS connection (TLSstream) connection was accepted, the children
+ listening socket was not attached to sock->server and thus it could
+ have been freed before all the accepted connections were actually
+ closed.
+
+ In turn, this would cause us to call isc_tls_free() too soon - causing
+ cascade errors in pending SSL_read_ex() in the accepted connections.
+
+ Properly attach and detach the children listening socket when
+ accepting and closing the server connections. :gl:`#4833` :gl:`!9278`
+
+- Make hypothesis optional for system tests. ``0d1953d7a8``
+
+ Ensure that system tests can be executed without Python hypothesis
+ package. :gl:`#4831` :gl:`!9268`
+
+- Don't loop indefinitely when isc_task quantum is 'unlimited'
+ ``674420df64``
+
+ Don't run more events than already scheduled. If the quantum is set
+ to a high value, the task_run() would execute already scheduled, and
+ all new events that result from running event->ev_action().
+
+ Setting quantum to a number of scheduled events will postpone events
+ scheduled after we enter the loop here to the next task_run()
+ invocation. :gl:`!9257`
+
+- Raise the log level of priming failures. ``c948babeeb``
+
+ When a priming query is complete, it's currently logged at level
+ ISC_LOG_DEBUG(1), regardless of success or failure. We are now raising
+ it to ISC_LOG_NOTICE in the case of failure. [GL #3516] :gl:`#3516`
+ :gl:`!9251`
+
+- Add a compatibility shim for older libuv versions (< 1.19.0)
+ ``61ff983f00``
+
+ The uv_stream_get_write_queue_size() is supported only in relatively
+ newer versions of libuv (1.19.0 or higher). Provide a compatibility
+ shim for this function , so BIND 9 can be built in environments with
+ older libuv version.
+
+- Remove extra newline from yaml output. ``1222dbe9f9``
+
+ I split this into two commits, one for the actual newline removal, and
+ one for issues I found, ruining the yaml output when some errors were
+ outputted.
+
+- CID 498025 and CID 498031: Overflowed constant INTEGER_OVERFLOW.
+ ``bbdd888b8e``
+
+ Add INSIST to fail if the multiplication would cause the variables to
+ overflow. :gl:`#4798` :gl:`!9230`
+
+- Remove unnecessary operations. ``2374a1a2bd``
+
+ Decrementing optlen immediately before calling continue is unneccesary
+ and inconsistent with the rest of dns_message_pseudosectiontoyaml and
+ dns_message_pseudosectiontotext. Coverity was also reporting an
+ impossible false positive overflow of optlen (CID 499061).
+

+ snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), " %u ", id); 4182
+ ADD_STRING(target, buf);
+
+ CID 499061: (#1 of 1): Overflowed constant (INTEGER_OVERFLOW)
+ overflow_const: Expression optlen, which is equal to 65534, underflows
+ the type that receives it, an unsigned integer 16 bits wide. 4183
+ optlen -= 2; 4184
+ POST(optlen); 4185
+ continue; 4186 } 4187
+ } else if (optcode == DNS_OPT_SERVER_TAG) { :gl:`!9224`
+
+- Fix generation of 6to4-self name expansion from IPv4 address.
+ ``df55c15ebb``
+
+ The period between the most significant nibble of the encoded IPv4
+ address and the 2.0.0.2.IP6.ARPA suffix was missing resulting in the
+ wrong name being checked. Add system test for 6to4-self
+ implementation. :gl:`#4766` :gl:`!9218`
+
+- Fix false QNAME minimisation error being reported. ``4984afc80c``
+
+ Remove the false positive "success resolving" log message when QNAME
+ minimisation is in effect and the final result is NXDOMAIN.
+ :gl:`#4784` :gl:`!9216`
+
+- Dig +yaml was producing unexpected and/or invalid YAML output.
+ ``2db62a4dba``
+
+ :gl:`#4796` :gl:`!9214`
+
+- SVBC alpn text parsing failed to reject zero length alpn.
+ ``8f7be89052``
+
+ :gl:`#4775` :gl:`!9210`
+
+- Return SERVFAIL for a too long CNAME chain. ``f7de909b98``
+
+ When cutting a long CNAME chain, named was returning NOERROR instead
+ of SERVFAIL (alongside with a partial answer). This has been fixed.
+ :gl:`#4449` :gl:`!9204`
+
+- Properly calculate the amount of system memory. ``9faf355a5c``
+
+ On 32 bit machines isc_meminfo_totalphys could return an incorrect
+ value. :gl:`#4799` :gl:`!9200`
+
+- Update key lifetime and metadata after dnssec-policy reconfig.
+ ``2107a64ee6``
+
+ Adjust key state and timing metadata if dnssec-policy key lifetime
+ configuration is updated, so that it also affects existing keys.
+ :gl:`#4677` :gl:`!9192`
+
+- Fix dig +timeout argument when using +https. ``381d6246d6``
+
+ The +timeout argument was not used on DoH connections. This has been
+ fixed. :gl:`#4806` :gl:`!9161`
