+Notes for BIND 9.16.9
+---------------------
+
+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- A new configuration option, ``stale-refresh-time``, has been
+  introduced. It allows a stale RRset to be served directly from cache
+  for a period of time after a failed lookup, before a new attempt to
+  refresh it is made. :gl:`#2066`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- ``named`` could crash with an assertion failure if a TCP connection
+  were closed while a request was still being processed. :gl:`#2227`
+
+- ``named`` acting as a resolver could incorrectly treat signed zones
+  with no DS record at the parent as bogus. Such zones should be treated
+  as insecure. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2236`
+
+- After a Negative Trust Anchor (NTA) is added, BIND performs periodic
+  checks to see if it is still necessary. If BIND encountered a failure
+  while creating a query to perform such a check, it attempted to
+  dereference a ``NULL`` pointer, resulting in a crash. :gl:`#2244`
+
+- A problem obtaining glue records could prevent a stub zone from
+  functioning properly, if the authoritative server for the zone were
+  configured for minimal responses. :gl:`#1736`
+
+- ``UV_EOF`` is no longer treated as a ``TCP4RecvErr`` or a
+  ``TCP6RecvErr``. :gl:`#2208`
+
+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.
