* For Linux, the sorting of addresses returned by getaddrinfo now also
handles rules 3 and 7 from RFC 3484. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+* Allow system admin to configure getaddrinfo with the /etc/gai.conf file.
+ Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
* New Linux interfaces: splice, tee, sync_file_range, vmsplace.
* New iconv module for MIK. Contributed by Alexander Shopov.
+* For sites with broken group and/or passwd database, the auto-propagate
+ option of nscd can prevent creating ID lookup entries from the results
+ of a name lookup and vice versa. This usually is no problem but some
+ site might have problems with default behavior.
+ Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* Iterating over entire database in NIS and NIS+ can be slow. With the
+ SETENT_BATCH_READ option in /etc/default/nss a system admin can decide
+ to trade time for memory. The entire database will be read at once.
+ Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
