+Ban Lurker Improvements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We have made the ban lurker even more efficient by example of some
+real live situations with tens of thousands of bans using inefficient
+regular expressions.
+
+The new parameter ban_lurker_holdoff tells the ban lurker for how long
+it should get out of the way when it could potentially slow down
+lookups due to lock contention. Previously this was the same as
+ban_lurker_sleep.

+Access to more object properties from vcl_deliver

+obj.ttl, obj.age, obj.grace and obj.keep are now available vcl_deliver

+News for vmod authors
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* vcl cli events (init/fini methods) now have a workspace and
+  PRIV_TASK
+
+* PRIV_* now also work for object methods with unchanged scope.  In
+  particular, they are per vmod and `not` per object - e.g. the same
+  PRIV_TASK gets passed to object methods as to functions during a VCL
+  task.
