        ntrack 015 is a long expected release that started low, but ended up coming out
        strong. This is not only because a first experimental revision of our next gen
        backend for linux, rtnetlink, got included.

        Early testing indicates that rtnetlink really has the potential to leave out
        the flaky libnl middleware alltogether and get network state info first hand
        from the kernel. Once stabilized and properly field tested, This will clearly
        contribute to a more complete, consistent and reliable ntrack experience.

        Nevertheless, ntrack 015 also grows more complete libnl support and can now
        build backends for libnl 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1 (NEW), 3.2.x (NEW) and latest git
        (NEW).
