+Notes for BIND 9.16.8
+---------------------
+
+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Add a new ``rndc`` command, ``rndc dnssec -rollover``, which triggers
+  a manual rollover for a specific key. :gl:`#1749`
+
+- Add a new ``rndc`` command, ``rndc dumpdb -expired``, which dumps the
+  cache database, including expired RRsets that are awaiting cleanup, to
+  the ``dump-file`` for diagnostic purposes. :gl:`#1870`
+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- DNS Flag Day 2020: The default EDNS buffer size has been changed from
+  4096 to 1232 bytes. According to measurements done by multiple
+  parties, this should not cause any operational problems as most of the
+  Internet "core" is able to cope with IP message sizes between
+  1400-1500 bytes; the 1232 size was picked as a conservative minimal
+  number that could be changed by the DNS operator to an estimated path
+  MTU minus the estimated header space. In practice, the smallest MTU
+  witnessed in the operational DNS community is 1500 octets, the maximum
+  Ethernet payload size, so a useful default for maximum DNS/UDP payload
+  size on reliable networks would be 1432 bytes. :gl:`#2183`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- ``named`` reported an invalid memory size when running in an
+  environment that did not properly report the number of available
+  memory pages and/or the size of each memory page. :gl:`#2166`
+
+- With multiple forwarders configured, ``named`` could fail the
+  ``REQUIRE(msg->state == (-1))`` assertion in ``lib/dns/message.c``,
+  causing it to crash. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2124`
+
+- ``named`` erroneously performed continuous key rollovers for KASP
+  policies that used algorithm Ed25519 or Ed448 due to a mismatch
+  between created key size and expected key size. :gl:`#2171`
+
+- Updating contents of an RPZ zone which contained names spelled using
+  varying letter case could cause some processing rules in that RPZ zone
+  to be erroneously ignored. :gl:`#2169`
+
+Known Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- There are no new known issues with this release. See :ref:`above
+  <relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known issues affecting this
+  BIND 9 branch.
