144 + * Added support for OpenBSD 3.3.
145 + * Added support for DragonFly BSD 1.0.
146 + * No longer need elevated privileges on most platforms:
147 +     FreeBSD 5, NetBSD, and OpenBSD.
148 +     (see PLATFORMS file for details on which OS's need elevated privileges)
149 + * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions.
150 +
151 + * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility.
