+This release contains some new features, bug fixes, and package updates.
+New features include:
+* When the _forward_ plugin receives a malformed upstream response that overflows,
+  it will now send an empty response to the client with the truncated (TC) bit set to prompt the client
+  to retry over TCP.
+* The _rewrite_ plugin can now rewrite response codes.
+* The _dnstap_ plugin now supports adding metadata to the dnstap `extra` field.
