We = encourage users running 9.16 or (gasp) 9.11, to upgrade to 9.18.=20 The 9.18 branch has consistently out-performed the 9.16 branch, and we = are confident that it is more stable than 9.16. One of our support = engineers has prepared a helpful knowledgebase article on updating from = 9.16 to 9.18 = (https://kb.isc.org/docs/changes-to-be-aware-of-when-moving-from-bind-916-= to-918) which may be useful to you as you plan your migration. For an overview of our release plan, we maintain another knowledgebase = article (https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896). This was updated earlier = this month, to move the start of future new stable branches from Q1 to = Q2. The problem with starting a new stable branch in Q1 is, after the = long holiday quiet period, we always have a number of important fixes = and changes we need to release *before* we can start a new stable = branch. We are currently projecting that our next stable branch, BIND = 9.20, will be released in Q2. For your convenience, we also maintain our planned EOL dates listed next = to each software release on https://www.isc.org/download/.
