+0.7.9 release notes
+
+new pthread cancellation implementation:
+- safe against resource-leak/side-effect-leak race conditions
+- safe against interruption by signal handlers
+- reduced bloat in all cancellable functions
+- reduced bloat for blocking cancellation
+
+new interfaces implemented:
+- realpath (limited functionality)
+- wordexp (limited functionality)
+- flock (nonstandard)
+- forkpty (nonstandard)
+- posix_fadvise
+- posix_fallocate
+
+general bug fixes:
+- syslog function failure to communicate with syslogd
+- bug in siginfo_t definition if wait.h was included before signal.h
+- incorrect struct definitions for most of sysv ipc
+- pthread_exit/cancel on timer handler wrongly destroying the timer
+- linux dup2 ebusy workaround
+- obscure issues in non-threaded programs using some pthread functions
+- getopt_long allowed mismatch in last char of option name
+- incorrect parsing of obscure ip address forms
+- initgroups not working reliably (uninitialized var)
+- shadow pass treating empty expiry field as pass-expired-in-1970
+- bogus longjmp if pthread_exit was called from cancellation handlers
+
+x86_64-specific bug fixes:
+- fcntl file locking
+- thread stack alignment
+- broken select timeouts due to incorrect timeval definition
