New Functionality
-----------------
- The following dependencies have had updates:
- The bundled version of Spicy was updated to 1.12.0. See
https://github.com/zeek/spicy/releases/tag/v1.12.0 for notes on what's new
with Spicy.
- The bundled version of c-ares has been updated to v1.34.2, which required
some updates to Zeek's internal DNS resolver due to changes in the c-ares
API. At least version v1.28.0 is now required to build Zeek.
- Python 3.9 is now required for Zeek and all of it's associated subprojects.
- IP-based connections that were previously not logged due to using an unknown
IP protocol (e.g. not TCP, UDP, or ICMP) now appear in conn.log. All conn.log
entries have a new ``ip_proto`` column that indicates the numeric IP protocol

analyzer used for processing the packet when the event is raised. The
``unknown_protocol.log`` file was extended to include this information.
- The MySQL analyzer now generates a ``mysql_user_change()`` event when
the user changes mid-session via the ``COM_USER_CHANGE`` command.
- The MySQL analyzer now generates a ``mysql_user_change()`` event when the user
changes mid-session via the ``COM_USER_CHANGE`` command.
- The DNS analyzer was extended to support TKEY RRs (RFC 2390). A corresponding
``dns_TKEY`` event was added.

The analyzer is currently mostly interesting if you want to experiment with
SSL; we do not yet recommend to enable it in normal Zeek deployments.
- The majority of the metrics reported via stats.log are also now reported via
the Telemetry framework, and are visible in the output passed to Prometheus.
- A new weird ``DNS_unknown_opcode`` was added to the DNS analyzer to report
when it receives opcodes that it cannot process.
Changed Functionality

@ -226,8 +244,9 @@ Changed Functionality
Previously, ``network_time()`` was used. This matters if ``Broker::publish()``
is called within scheduled events or called within remote events.
Removed Functionality
---------------------
- The SSL analyzer now reports the correct version when an SSLv2 client hello is
used. Zeek previously always reported these as v2, even when the v2 client
hello indicated support for a later version of SSL.
Deprecated Functionality
