+5106.  [experimental]  A new "plugin" mechanism has been added to allow
+                       extension of query processing functionality through
+                       the use of dynamically loadable libraries. A
+                       "filter-aaaa.so" plugin has been implemented,
+                       replacing the filter-aaaa feature that was formerly
+                       implemented as a native part of BIND.
+
+                       The "filter-aaaa", "filter-aaaa-on-v4" and
+                       "filter-aaaa-on-v6" options can no longer be
+                       configured using native named.conf syntax. However,
+                       loading the filter-aaaa.so plugin and setting its
+                       parameters provides identical functionality.
+
+                       Note that the plugin API is a work in progress and
+                       is likely to evolve as further plugins are
+                       implemented. [GL #15]

 5105.  [bug]           Fix a race between process_fd and socketclose in
                        unix socket code. [GL #744]
