          If a server is configured with a response policy zone (RPZ)
          that rewrites an answer with local data, and is also configured
          for DNS64 address mapping, a NULL pointer can be read
          triggering a server crash.  This flaw is disclosed in

          Added the ability to specify the maximum number of records
          permitted in a zone (<option>max-records #;</option>).
          This provides a mechanism to block overly large zone
          transfers, which is a potential risk with slave zones from
          other parties, as described in CVE-2016-6170.

          <command>dnstap</command> now stores both the local and remote
          addresses for all messages, instead of only the remote address.
          The default output format for <command>dnstap-read</command> has
          been updated to include these addresses, with the initiating
          address first and the responding address second, separated by

          was sent. [RT #43595]

          Authoritative server support for the EDNS Client Subnet option
          (ECS), introduced in BIND 9.11.0, was based on an early version
          of the specification, and is now known to have incompatibilities
          with other ECS implementations. It is also inefficient, requiring
          a separate view for each answer, and is unable to correct for
          overlapping subnets in the configuration.  It is intended for
          testing purposes but is not recommended for for production use.
          This was not made sufficiently clear in the documentation at
          the time of release.
