- A new ``NetControl::rule_added_policy`` hook has been introduced to allow modification
of NetControl rules after they have been added.
- The IP geolocation / ASN lookup features in the script layer provide better
configurability. The file names of MaxMind databases are now configurable via
the new ``mmdb_city_db``, ``mmdb_country_db``, and ``mmdb_asn_db`` constants,
and the previously hardwired fallback search path when not using an
``mmdb_dir`` value is now adjustable via the ``mmdb_dir_fallbacks``
vector. Databases opened explicitly via the ``mmdb_open_location_db`` and
``mmdb_open_asn_db`` functions now behave more predictably when updated or
removed. For details, see:
https://docs.zeek.org/en/master/customizations.html#address-geolocation-and-as-lookups
- The ``zeek-config`` script now provides a set of ``--have-XXX`` checks for
features optionally compiled in. Each check reports "yes"/"no" to stdout and
exits with 0/1, respectively.

plugin took an action. The logs also contain information when errors or existing
rules are encountered.
- The ``Cluster::PoolSpec`` record no longer provides default values for its
``topic`` and ``node_type`` fields, since defaults don't fit their intended
use and looked confusing in generated documentation.
