+changes from 0.8.3 to 0.8.4
+---------------------------
+
+* switch to using the member attribute by default instead of
+  uniqueMember (backwards incompatible change)
+* only return "x" as a password hash when the object has the shadowAccount
+  objectClass and nsswitch.conf is configured to do shadow lookups using
+  LDAP (this avoids some problems with pam_unix)
+* fix problem with partial attribute name matches in DN (thanks Timothy
+  White)
+* fix a problem with objectSid mappings with recent versions of OpenLDAP
+  (patch by Wesley Mason)
+* set the socket timeout in a connection callback to avoid timeout
+  issues during the SSL handshake (patch by Stefan Völkel)
+* check for unknown variables in pam_authz_search
+* only check password expiration when authenticating, only check account
+  expiration when doing authorisation
+* make buffer sizes consistent and grow all buffers holding string
+  representations of numbers to be able to hold 64-bit numbers
+* update AX_PTHREAD from autoconf-archive
+* support querying DNS SRV records from a different domain than the current
+  one (based on a patch by James M. Leddy)
+* fix a problem with uninitialised memory while parsing the tls_ciphers
+  option
+* implement bounds checking of numeric values read from LDAP (patch by
+  Jakub Hrozek)
+* correctly support large uid and gid values from LDAP (patch by Jakub
+  Hrozek)
+* improvements to the configure script (patch by Jakub Hrozek)
+* Debian packaging improvements
