5Changes in tnftp 20200705 to 20210827:
6
7	Validate address in server's PASV and LPSV responses. Previously a
8	hostile server could cause ftp to open a data connection elsewhere.
9
10	Avoid intermittent crashes by fixing signal handler restoration.
11
12	Fix intermittent failures in -q QUITTIME by not using restartable
13	signals.
14
15	Set SO_KEEPALIVE on control connection to attempt to avoid timeouts.
16
17	Update to NetBSD-ftp 20210826.

25Changes in tnftp 20151004 to 20200705:
26
27	Avoid crashes by exiting if lostpeer due to a signal

34	Use "anonymous" instead of the local username for anonymous
35	ftp. Avoids unnecesary information leak.
