    * Security bugfixes
     - CVE-2026-70368: Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access triggered by
       logging attacker-controlled protocol messages longer than 1,024 bytes
       (thanks to AISLE Research and Clemens Lang).
     - CVE-2026-70367: Fixed a SOCKS server mode bypass of the localhost
       destination filter using alternate local-address encodings and
       interface-scoped IPv6 destinations (thanks to AISLE Research and
       Clemens Lang).
     - Restricted Windows GUI/service control pipes to local clients.
    * Bugfixes
     - Fixed concurrent DTLS handshakes from clients sharing an IP address.
     - Fixed version reporting in builds from source.
     - Rejected stream-oriented protocol negotiation with the UDP transport
       during configuration validation.
     - Fixed a TCP stream truncation (thanks to Solomon Jacobs).
     - Fixed a transfer() loop (thanks to Solomon Jacobs).
     - Fixed log reopening logs without a configured log file.
     - Fixed some logged values (thanks to Jose Alf.).
     - Fixed some error handling and cleanup issues (thanks to Jose Alf.).
     - Fixed OpenSSL applink detection and MSYS2 MinGW builds.
    * Features
     - Added the CRLcheckChain service-level option for opt-in full-chain
       CRL verification.
     - Added the new 'transport' service-level option to choose between TLS
       over TCP and DTLS over UDP.
