</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Bug Fixes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Restore NSEC3 closest-encloser lookup improvements.</li>
<li>Stop caching lack of EDNS support.</li>
<li>Fix resolver statistics counters for timed-out responses.</li>
<li>Nested DNS validation could cause an assertion failure.</li>
<li>Wait for memory reclamation to finish in <code>named-checkconf</code>.</li>
<li>Ensure <code>max-clients-per-query</code> is at least <code>clients-per-query</code>.</li>
<li>Fix write after free in validator code.</li>
<li>Don't enforce NOAUTH/NOCONF flags in DNSKEYs.</li>
<li>Fix several small DNSSEC timing issues.</li>

<li>Fix dual-stack-servers configuration option.</li>
<li>Fix a data race causing a permanent active client increase.</li>
<li>Fix deferred validation of unsigned DS and DNSKEY records.</li>
<li>Fix RPZ race condition during a reconfiguration.</li>
<li>"CNAME and other data check" not applied to all types.</li>
<li>Relax private DNSKEY and RRSIG constraints.</li>
<li>Remove NSEC/DS/NSEC3 RRSIG check from dns_message_parse().</li>
<li>Fix TTL issue with ANY queries processed through RPZ "passthru";.</li>
<li>dnssec-signzone needs to check for a NULL key when setting offline.</li>
<li>Fix a bug in the statistics channel when querying zone transfer
information.</li>
<li>Fix assertion failure when dumping recursing clients.</li>
<li>Dump the active resolver fetches from dns_resolver_dumpfetches().</li>
<li>Recently expired records could be returned with a timestamp in
future.</li>
<li>YAML string not terminated in negative response in delv.</li>
<li>Fix a bug in dnssec-signzone related to keys being offline.</li>
<li>Apply the memory limit only to ADB database items.</li>
<li>Avoid unnecessary locking in the zone/cache database.</li>

<li>Fix dnssec-signzone signing non-DNSKEY RRsets with revoked keys.</li>
<li>Fix improper handling of unknown directives in resolv.conf.</li>
<li>Fix response policy zones and catalog zones with an $INCLUDE
statement defined.</li>
<li>Use TLS for notifies if configured to do so.</li>
<li>Notifies configured to use TLS will now be sent over TLS, instead of
plain text UDP or TCP. Also, failing to load the TLS
configuration for notify now results in an error.'</li>
<li>{&dns} is as valid as {?dns} in a SVCB's dohpath.</li>
<li>dig failed to parse a valid SVCB record with a dohpath URI template
containing a {&dns}, like
"dohpath=/some/path?key=value{&dns}";. </li>
<li>Fix NSEC3 closest encloser lookup for names with empty non-terminals.</li>
<li>A previous performance optimization for finding the NSEC3 closest
encloser when generating authoritative responses could cause servers
to return incorrect NSEC3 records in some cases. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>recursive-clients statement with value 0 triggered an assertion
failure.</li>
<li>BIND 9.20.0 broke recursive-clients 0;. This has now been fixed.</li>
<li>Parsing of hostnames in rndc.conf was broken.</li>
<li>When DSCP support was removed, parsing of hostnames in rndc.conf was
accidentally broken, resulting in an assertion failure. This has been
fixed.</li>
<li><code>dig</code> options of the form [+-]option=<value> failed to display
the value on the printed command line. This has been fixed.</li>
<li>Provide more visibility into TLS configuration errors by logging
SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() and
SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey_file() errors individually.</li>
<li>Fix a race condition when canceling ADB find which could cause an
assertion failure.</li>
<li>SERVFAIL cache memory cleaning is now more aggressive; it no longer
consumes a lot of memory if the server encounters many SERVFAILs at
once.</li>
<li>Fix trying the next primary XoT server when the previous one was
marked as unreachable.</li>
<li>In some cases named failed to try the next primary server in the
primaries list when the previous one was marked as unreachable. This
has been fixed.</li>
</ul>
