* What's new
+- 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.
* What's new in version 0.9.7
