Notable new features:
* Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm keys and signatures in
DNSSEC are now supported per RFC 6605. [RT #21918]
* Introduces a new tool "dnssec-verify" that validates a signed zone,
checking for the correctness of signatures and NSEC/NSEC3 chains.
[RT #23673]
* BIND now recognizes the TLSA resource record type, created to
support IETF DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities)
[RT #28989]
* The new "inline-signing" option, in combination with the
"auto-dnssec" option that was introduced in BIND 9.7, allows
named to sign zones completely transparently.

This includes a structural change regarding atomic ops. Previously they
were enabled on all platforms unless we had knowledge that they did not
work. However both work performed by marius@ on sparc64 and the fact that
the 9.8.x branch is fussier in this area has demonstrated that this is
not a safe approach. So I've modified a patch provided by marius to
enable them for i386, amd64, and ia64 only.
lots of new features compared to 9.4.x, including:
Full NSEC3 support
Automatic zone re-signing
New update-policy methods tcp-self and 6to4-self
DHCID support.
More detailed statistics counters including those supported in BIND 8.
Faster ACL processing.
Efficient LRU cache-cleaning mechanism.
NSID support.
