Subject: ANN: libseccomp v2.2.0 released

We've just released a new version of libseccomp, libseccomp version 2.2.0.
The libseccomp library provides an easy to use, platform independent interface
to the Linux enhanced syscall filtering mechanism that was first introduced in
Linux 3.5.

* https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/releases/tag/v2.2.0

This new version of libseccomp builds upon the previous release and should be
a drop-in replacement for the 2.x releases. All users are encouraged to
upgrade to the new version at their earliest convenience.

Changes in the 2.2.0 release include:

* Migrated the build system to autotools
* Added support for the aarch64 architecture
* Added support for the mips, mips64, and mips64n32 architectures
* Added support for the new seccomp() syscall and thread sync
* Added Python bindings
* Updated the internal syscall tables to Linux v3.19
* Added documentation to help contributors wishing to submit patches
* Numerous minor bug fixes

In addition, the libseccomp project has migrated away from SourceForge and to
a combination of Github and Google Groups, please use the new git repository
and mailing list:

* https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp
* https://groups.google.com/d/forum/libseccomp

Finally, thank you to everyone who has submitted suggestions, provided testing
help, and contributed patches to the project.
