-- Module signing: If the appropriate nss libraries are available on your system,
-  stap will sign each compiled module using a self-generated certificate.
-  This is the first step toward extending authority to load certain modules to
-  unprivileged users. For now, if the system administrator adds a certificate
-  to a database of trusted signers (stap-authorize-signing-cert), modules signed
-  using that certificate will be verified by staprun against tampering.
-  Otherwise, you should notice no difference in the operation of stap or staprun.
+- Dwarfless syscalls: The nd_syscalls tapset is now available to probe
+  system calls without requiring kernel debugging information.  All of
+  the same probepoints in the normal syscalls tapset are available with
+  an "nd_" prefix, e.g. syscall.open becomes nd_syscall.open.  Most
+  syscall arguments are also available by name in nd_syscalls.
