129 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
130 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
131 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
132 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
133 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
134 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
135 +
136 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
