+Notes for BIND 9.16.3
+---------------------
+
+Security Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  To prevent exhaustion of server resources by a maliciously configured
+   domain, the number of recursive queries that can be triggered by a
+   request before aborting recursion has been further limited. Root and
+   top-level domain servers are no longer exempt from the
+   ``max-recursion-queries`` limit. Fetches for missing name server
+   address records are limited to 4 for any domain. This issue was
+   disclosed in CVE-2020-8616. :gl:`#1388`
+
+-  Replaying a TSIG BADTIME response as a request could trigger an
+   assertion failure. This was disclosed in CVE-2020-8617. :gl:`#1703`
+
+Known Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  BIND crashes on startup when linked against libuv 1.36. This issue
+   is related to ``recvmmsg()`` support in libuv, which was first
+   included in libuv 1.35. The problem was addressed in libuv 1.37, but
+   the relevant libuv code change requires a special flag to be set
+   during library initialization in order for ``recvmmsg()`` support to
+   be enabled. This BIND release sets that special flag when required,
+   so ``recvmmsg()`` support is now enabled when BIND is compiled
+   against either libuv 1.35 or libuv 1.37+; libuv 1.36 is still not
+   usable with BIND. :gl:`#1761` :gl:`#1797`
+
+-  See :ref:`above <relnotes_known_issues>` for a list of all known
+   issues affecting this BIND 9 branch.
+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  BIND 9 no longer sets receive/send buffer sizes for UDP sockets,
+   relying on system defaults instead. :gl:`#1713`
+
+-  The default rwlock implementation has been changed back to the native
+   BIND 9 rwlock implementation. :gl:`#1753`
+
+-  The native PKCS#11 EdDSA implementation has been updated to PKCS#11
+   v3.0 and thus made operational again. Contributed by Aaron Thompson.
+   :gl:`!3326`
+
+-  The OpenSSL ECDSA implementation has been updated to support PKCS#11
+   via OpenSSL engine (see engine_pkcs11 from libp11 project).
+   :gl:`#1534`
+
+-  The OpenSSL EdDSA implementation has been updated to support PKCS#11
+   via OpenSSL engine. Please note that an EdDSA-capable OpenSSL engine
+   is required and thus this code is only a proof-of-concept for the
+   time being. Contributed by Aaron Thompson. :gl:`#1763`
+
+-  Message IDs in inbound AXFR transfers are now checked for
+   consistency. Log messages are emitted for streams with inconsistent
+   message IDs. :gl:`#1674`
+
+-  The zone timers are now exported to the statistics channel. For the
+   primary zones, only the loaded time is exported. For the secondary
+   zones, the exported timers also include expire and refresh times.
+   Contributed by Paul Frieden, Verizon Media. :gl:`#1232`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  A bug in dnstap initialization could prevent some dnstap data from
+   being logged, especially on recursive resolvers. :gl:`#1795`
+
+-  When running on a system with support for Linux capabilities,
+   ``named`` drops root privileges very soon after system startup. This
+   was causing a spurious log message, ``unable to set effective uid to
+   0: Operation not permitted``, which has now been silenced.
+   :gl:`#1042` :gl:`#1090`
+
+-  When ``named-checkconf -z`` was run, it would sometimes incorrectly set
+   its exit code. It reflected only the status of the last view found;
+   any errors found for other configured views were not reported. Thanks
+   to Graham Clinch. :gl:`#1807`
+
+-  When built without LMDB support, ``named`` failed to restart after a
+   zone with a double quote (") in its name was added with
+   ``rndc addzone``. Thanks to Alberto Fernández. :gl:`#1695`
