+New Features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Print the full path of the working directory in startup log messages.
+
+  named now prints its initial working directory during startup and the
+  changed working directory when loading or reloading its configuration
+  file if it has a valid 'directory' option defined. :gl:`#4731`
+
+Feature Changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Follow the number of CPU set by taskset/cpuset.
+
+  Administrators may wish to constrain the set of cores that BIND 9 runs
+  on via the 'taskset', 'cpuset' or 'numactl' programs (or equivalent on
+  other O/S).
+
+  If the admin has used taskset, the `named` will now follow to
+  automatically use the given number of CPUs rather than the system wide
+  count. :gl:`#4884`
+
+Bug Fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Checking whether a EDDSA key was private or not was broken.
+
+  Checking whether a EDDSA key was private or not was broken could lead
+  to attempting to sign records with a public key and this could cause a
+  segmentation failure (read of a NULL pointer) within OpenSSL.
+  :gl:`#4855`
+
+- Fix algoritm rollover bug when there are two keys with the same
+  keytag.
+
+  If there is an algorithm rollover and two keys of different algorithm
+  share the same keytags, then there is a possibility that if we check
+  that a key matches a specific state, we are checking against the wrong
+  key. This has been fixed by not only checking for matching key tag but
+  also key algorithm. :gl:`#4878`
