    - Add DROPBEAR_PASSWORD environment variable to specify a dbclient password
    - Use /dev/urandom by default, since that's what everyone does anyway
    - Correct vfork() use for uClinux in scp (thanks to Alex Landau)
    - Exit with an exit code of 1 if dropbear can't bind to any ports (thanks to
      Nicolai Ehemann)
    - Improve network performance and add a -W <receive_window> argument for
      adjusting the tradeoff between network performance and memory consumption.
    - Fix a problem where reply packets could be sent during key exchange, in
      violation of the SSH spec. This could manifest itself with connections being
      terminated after 8 hours with new TCP-forward connections being established.
    - Add -K <keepalive_time> argument, ensuring that data is transmitted over the
      connection at least every N seconds.
    - dropbearkey will no longer generate DSS keys of sizes other than 1024 bits,
      as required by the DSS specification. (Other sizes are still accepted for use
      to provide backwards compatibility).
