+Notes for BIND 9.18.5
+---------------------
+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- The :option:`dnssec-signzone -H` default value has been changed to 0
+  additional NSEC3 iterations. This change aligns the
+  :iscman:`dnssec-signzone` default with the default used by the
+  :any:`dnssec-policy` feature. At the same
+  time, documentation about NSEC3 has been aligned with the `Best
+  Current Practice`_. :gl:`#3395`
+
+.. _Best Current Practice: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-nsec3-guidance-10
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- An assertion failure caused by a TCP connection closing between a
+  connect (or accept) and a read from a socket has been fixed.
+  :gl:`#3400`
+
+- When grafting non-delegated namespace onto delegated namespace,
+  :any:`synth-from-dnssec` could incorrectly synthesize non-existence of
+  records within the non-delegated namespace using NSEC records from
+  higher zones. :gl:`#3402`
+
+- Previously, :iscman:`named` immediately returned a SERVFAIL response
+  to the client when it received a FORMERR response from an
+  authoritative server during recursive resolution. This has been fixed:
+  :iscman:`named` acting as a resolver now attempts to contact other
+  authoritative servers for a given domain when it receives a FORMERR
+  response from one of them. :gl:`#3152`
+
+- Previously, :option:`rndc reconfig` did not pick up changes to
+  :any:`endpoints` statements in :any:`http` blocks. This has been
+  fixed. :gl:`#3415`
+
+- It was possible for a catalog zone consumer to process a catalog zone
+  member zone when there was a configured pre-existing forward-only
+  forward zone with the same name. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2506`
+
