+ o Major features:
+ - Refinements and improvements to the Linux seccomp2 sandbox code:
+ the sandbox can now run a test network for multiple hours without
+ crashing. (Previous crash reasons included: reseeding the OpenSSL PRNG,
+ seeding the Libevent PRNG, using the wrong combination of CLOEXEC and
+ NONBLOCK at the same place and time, having server keys, being an
+ authority, receiving a HUP, or using IPv6.) The sandbox is still
+ experimental, and more bugs will probably turn up. To try it,
+ enable "Sandbox 1" on a Linux host.
+
+ - Strengthen the Linux seccomp2 sandbox code: the sandbox can now
+ test the arguments for rename(), and blocks _sysctl() entirely.
