Changes since 9.6-ESV.

	--- 9.6-ESV-R2 released ---

2939.	[func]		Check that named successfully skips NSEC3 records
			that fail to match the NSEC3PARAM record currently
			in use. [RT# 21868]

2937.	[bug]		Worked around an apparent race condition in over
			memory conditions.  Without this fix a DNS cache DB or
			ADB could incorrectly stay in an over memory state,
			effectively refusing further caching, which
			subsequently made a BIND 9 caching server unworkable.
			This fix prevents this problem from happening by
			polling the state of the memory context, rather than
			making a copy of the state, which appeared to cause
			a race.  This is a "workaround" in that it doesn't
			solve the possible race per se, but several experiments
			proved this change solves the symptom.  Also, the
			polling overhead hasn't been reported to be an issue.
			This bug should only affect a caching server that
			specifies a finite max-cache-size.  It's also quite
			likely that the bug happens only when enabling threads,
			but it's not confirmed yet. [RT #21818]

2925.	[bug]		Named failed to accept uncachable negative responses
			from insecure zones. [RT# 21555]

2921.	[bug]		The resolver could attempt to destroy a fetch context
			too soon.  [RT #19878]

2900.	[bug]		The placeholder negative caching element was not
			properly constructed triggering a INSIST in 
			dns_ncache_towire(). [RT #21346]
			
2890.	[bug]		Handle the introduction of new trusted-keys and
			DS, DLV RRsets better. [RT #21097]

2869.	[bug]		Fix arguments to dns_keytable_findnextkeynode() call.
			[RT #20877]

	--- 9.6-ESV-R1 released ---

2876.	[bug]		Named could return SERVFAIL for negative responses
			from unsigned zones. [RT #21131]

	--- 9.6-ESV released ---
