+- Support for Mac OS X has been removed.
+- On Linux systems, glibc-2.17 or newer is required to build the
+  source tree.
+- Support for RSA public keys in ASN format (as generated by openssl

+  ssh-keygen(1).
+- If libgcrypt is used as the crypto library, we now require version
+  1.5.0 (released in 2011) or later.
+- The insecure RC4 stream cipher has been removed. It was superseded
+  by aes_ctr128 three years ago but the RC4 code had been kept for
+  backwards compatibility.
+- On Linux, abstract unix domain sockets are used unconditionally.
