 - Added Ubuntu 22.04 package release [#9831](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9831).
 
+- Improve the integration of the `banned` and the `delayed` feature [#9790](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9790).
+  Now when publishing a delayed message will check first if its source client is banned, if true, this publish will be ignored.
+
+- Security enhancement for retained messages [#9790](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9790).
+  The retained messages will not be published if the publisher client is banned.
+
 ## Bug fixes
 
 - Fix the problem that new MQTT TLS connections failed to establish after release hot upgrade [#9810](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9810).

+- 增强 `封禁` 和 `延迟消息` 这两个功能的集成性 [#9790](https://github.com/emqx/emqx/pull/9790)。
