Known issues in this release:

   * Named can fail to return a complete CNAME chain when the CNAME record
     and its target are both within zones for which the server is
     authoritative.  This only happens when named is configured to be
     recursive as well as authoritative, and only effects recursive
     clients.  The failure happens infrequently, but once it has started
     happening the only fix is to restart named.  The bug was fixed too
     late for inclusion in this beta release, but it will be included in
     the next release.

All changes since 9.8.0:

  3112.	[doc]		Add missing descriptions of the update policy name
  			types "ms-self", "ms-subdomain", "krb5-self" and
