-    <TBD PRIOR TO RELEASE OF 4.4.0>
+The areas of focus for ISC DHCP 4.4.0 were:
+
+1. Dynamic DNS additions
+2. dhclient improvements
+3. Support for dynamic shared libraries
+
+Dynamic DNS Improvements:
+
+- We added three new server configuration parameters which influence DDNS
+  conflict resolution:
+
+    1. ddns-dual-stack-mixed-mode - alters DNS conflict resolution behavior
+    to mitigate issues with non-compliant clients in dual stack environments.
+
+    2. ddns-guard-id-must-match - relaxes the DHCID RR client id matching
+    requirement of DNS conflict resolution.
+
+    3. ddns-other-guard-is-dynamic - alters dual-stack-mixed-mode behavior to
+    allow unguarded DNS entries to be overwritten in certain cases
+
+- The server now honors update-static-leases parameter for static DHCPv6
+  hosts.
+
+dhclient Improvements:
+
+  - We've added two new command line parameters to dhclient:
+
+    1. --prefix-len-hint - directs dhclient to use the given length as
+    the prefix length hint when requesting prefixes
+
+    2. --declient-wait-time - instructs the client to wiat the given number
+    of seconds after declining an IPv4 address before issuing a discover
+
+  - dhclient will now generate a DHCPv6 DECLINE message when the client script
+    indicates a DAD failure
+
+Dynamic shared library support:
+
+  Configure script, configure.ac+lt, which supports libtool is now provided
+  with the source tar ball.  This script can be used to configure ISC DHCP
+  to build with libtool and thus use dynamnic shared libaries.
