According to the developers of BIND, this is the latest production version release in the 9.9 branch of the software.

Highlights of BIND 9.9.5:

• A few crashes that occurred when serving some NSEC3 signed zone have been fixed;  • memcpy was incorrectly called with overlapping ranges, resulting in malformed names being generated on some platforms; • The ability to specify ndots to "nslookup" has been added; • "named" now preserves the capitalization of names when responding to queries; • The name of "isc-config.sh" developers script (for outputting compiler and linker flags) has been changed to "bind9-config."
