BIND users -

We want to remind you that this month's release, planned for June 17th, =
is the last maintenance release planned for BIND 9.18. After that, it =
will be officially EOL and unmaintained. Therefore, we urge you to make =
plans to migrate to 9.20 as soon as you are able to. (Our release =
calendar is here: https://kb.isc.org/docs/aa-00896).

We recommend you modify your procedures to permit monthly BIND updates, =
if possible. See the recent talk given by Petr =C5=A0pa=C4=8Dek =
(https://www.isc.org/blogs/2026-brace-for-upgrades/) or this blog post =
(https://www.isc.org/blogs/2026-05-12-bind-security-updates/) for =
background.

Regards,

Vicky Risk=
