+ o Major bugfixes (security):
+ - Downgrade the "-ftrapv" option from "always on" to "only on when
+ --enable-expensive-hardening is provided." This hardening option, like
+ others, can turn survivable bugs into crashes--and having it on by
+ default made a (relatively harmless) integer overflow bug into a
+ denial-of-service bug. Fixes bug 21278 (TROVE-2017-001); bugfix on
+ 0.2.9.1-alpha.
