  Compatibility:
    - Version 2.1.0 is not guaranted to be 100% compatible with previous versions
      with respect to packet format of the TCP profile because of several fixes
      related to IETF RFCs that change the format of ROHC/TCP packets.
    - The library API is fully compatible with versions 2.0.x.

  License/Authors:
    - Didier Barvaux for Context Replication, ACK(0), CPU performances and
      Gentoo/RPM packaging
    - Viveris Technologies for ROHC padding, periodic refreshes based on time,
      and performance tools

  Acknowledgments for bug reports and/or bug fixes:
    Klaus Warnke, Mohammad Abyan Abdullah, Mikhail Gruzdev.
