+	  <p>Bro 2.5.5 primarily addresses security issues:</p>
+	  <ul>
+	      <li>Fix array bounds checking in BinPAC: for arrays
+		that are fields within a record, the bounds check
+		was based on a pointer to the start of the record
+		rather than the start of the array field, potentially
+		resulting in a buffer over-read.</li>
+	      <li>Fix SMTP command string comparisons: the number
+	       of bytes compared was based on the user-supplied
+	       string length and can lead to incorrect matches.
+	       e.g.  giving a command of "X" incorrectly matched
+	       "X-ANONYMOUSTLS" (and an empty commands match
+	       anything).</li>
+	    </ul>
+	  <p>Address potential vectors for Denial of Service:</p>
+	    <ul>
+	      <li>"Weird" events are now generally suppressed/sampled
+		by default according to some tunable parameters.</li>
+	      <li>Improved handling of empty lines in several text
+		protocol analyzers that can cause performance issues
+		when seen in long sequences.</li>
+	      <li>Add `smtp_excessive_pending_cmds' weird which
+		serves as a notification for when the "pending
+		command" queue has reached an upper limit and been
+		cleared to prevent one from attempting to slowly
+		exhaust memory.</li>
