Notes for BIND 9.16.18
----------------------

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~

- When preparing DNS responses, ``named`` could replace the letters
  ``W`` (uppercase) and ``w`` (lowercase) with ``\000``. This has been
  fixed. :gl:`#2779`

- The configuration-checking code failed to account for the inheritance
  rules of the ``key-directory`` option. As a side effect of this flaw,
  the code detecting ``key-directory`` conflicts for zones using KASP
  incorrectly reported unique key directories as being reused. This has
  been fixed. :gl:`#2778`

Known Issues
