* Support for RFC 3678. Real implementations exist only for Linux so far.
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* nscd can now cache entries persistently. Expiring entries are reloaded.
+ For speedups the cache can be shared in memory with client processes.
+ Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* nscd can now perform SELinux checks.
+ Implemented by Matthew Rickard <mjricka@epoch.ncsc.mil>.
+
+* getaddrinfo queries are not cached. Canonical name lookup is performed
+ efficiently.
+ Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* The nothrow function attribute is used when headers are used by gcc when
+ compiling C code. This can avoid significant amounts of exception
+ handling data.
+
+* The malloc functions perform more error checking and are stricter when
+ it comes to reacting on errors. The default action is to terminate
+ the process after showing an error message.
+
+* Reverse lookups of IPv6 addresses does not use bit string or .ip6.int
+ lookups anymore unless explicitly requested.
