202 regular expressions are caught rather than mishandled.
203 * Make rlm_sql use <ltdl.h>. Addresses bug #610.
204 * Document list "type = status" better. Closes bug #580.

386 This is available only debug builds. It can be used
387 to create invalid packets! Use it with care.
388 * Permit "unlang" policies inside of Auth-Type{} sub-sections
389 of the authenticate{} section. This makes some policies easier

445 * radrelay functionality is now included in the server core.
446 See raddb/sites-available/copy-acct-to-home-server
