+Bug fixes
+---------
+
+- :meth:`URL.join() <yarl.URL.join>` has been changed to match
+  :rfc:`3986` and align with
+  :meth:`/ operation <yarl.URL.__truediv__>` and :meth:`URL.joinpath() <yarl.URL.joinpath>`
+  when joining URLs with empty segments.
+  Previously :py:func:`urllib.parse.urljoin` was used,
+  which has known issues with empty segments
+  (`python/cpython#84774 <https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/84774>`_).
+
+  Due to the semantics of :meth:`URL.join() <yarl.URL.join>`, joining an
+  URL with scheme requires making it relative, prefixing with ``./``.
+
+  .. code-block:: pycon
+
+     >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/").join(URL("./https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))
+     URL('https://web.archive.org/web/https://github.com/aio-libs/yarl')
+
+
+  Empty segments are honored in the base as well as the joined part.
+
+  .. code-block:: pycon
+
+     >>> URL("https://web.archive.org/web/https://").join(URL("github.com/aio-libs/yarl"))

+
+  This change initially appeared in 1.9.5 but was reverted in 1.9.6 to resolve a problem with query string handling.
