New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- A new configuration option ``require-cookie`` has been introduced, it
- specifies if there should be a DNS COOKIE in the response for a given
- prefix and if not named falls back to TCP. This is useful if you know
- a given server support DNS COOKIE. It can also be used to force all
- non DNS COOKIE responses to fall back to TCP. :gl:`#2295`

-- Add libsystemd sd_notify() integration that allows the ``named`` to report
- status to the supervisor. This allows the systemd to wait until ``named`` is
- fully started before starting other services that depend on name resolution.
- :gl:`#1176`
+- Support for libsystemd's ``sd_notify()`` function was added, enabling
+ :iscman:`named` to report its status to the init system. This allows
+ systemd to wait until :iscman:`named` is fully ready before starting
+ other services that depend on name resolution. :gl:`#1176`
-- The ``nsupdate`` tool now supports DNS-over-TLS (DoT). :gl:`#1781`
+- The :iscman:`nsupdate` tool now supports DNS-over-TLS (DoT).

-- :iscman:``named`` now supports forwarding Dynamic DNS updates through
- DNS-over-TLS (DoT), configured with a TLS-enabled primary server. :gl:`#3512`
+- :iscman:`named` now supports forwarding Dynamic DNS updates through
+ DNS-over-TLS (DoT). :gl:`#3512`
- :iscman:`named` now logs the supported cryptographic algorithms during
startup and in the output of :option:`named -V`. :gl:`#3541`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When an international domain name is not valid according to IDNA2008,
- :program:`dig` will now try to convert it according to IDNA2003 rules,
- or pass it through unchanged, instead of stopping with an error message.
- You can use the ``idna2`` utility for checking IDNA syntax. :gl:`#3485`.

+ The ``idna2`` utility can be used to check IDNA syntax. :gl:`#3527`
- The DNSSEC signing data included in zone statistics identified
keys only by the key ID; this caused confusion when two keys using
different algorithms had the same ID. Zone statistics now identify
keys using the algorithm number, followed by "+", followed by the
- key ID: for example, "8+54274". :gl:`#3525`
+ key ID: for example, ``8+54274``. :gl:`#3525`
-- The ability to use pkcs11 via engine_pkcs11 has been restored, by only using
- deprecated APIs in OpenSSL 3.0.0. BIND needs to be compiled
- with '-DOPENSSL_API_COMPAT=10100' specified in the CFLAGS at
- compile time. :gl:`!6711`

-- Compiling BIND 9 now requires at least libuv version 1.34.0 or higher. The

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
-- An assertion failure was fixed in ``named`` that was caused by aborting the statistics
- channel connection while sending statistics data to the client. :gl:`#3542`
+- An assertion failure was fixed in :iscman:`named` that was caused by
+ aborting the statistics channel connection while sending statistics

- :iscman:`named` could incorrectly return non-truncated, glueless
referrals for responses whose size was close to the UDP packet size
- limit. :gl:`#1967`
+ limit. This has been fixed. :gl:`#1967`
-- Changing just the TSIG key names for primaries in catalog zones' member
- zones was not effective. :gl:`#3557`
