The line length limitation is now increased to 16384 bytes. It is now
clearly documented in the limitations document.
The configuration parser now uses memory from the heap instead of the
stack. This should remove any problems caused by the larger line length.
When log messages are written with both address and port information, IPv6
addresses can cause confusion if the normal address:port formatting is
used. The RFC 3986 suggests that all IPv6 addresses are expressed as a
bracket enclosed address optionally followed by the port that is separate
from the address by a colon.
In practice, the "all interfaces" address and port number 3306 can be
written in IPv4 numbers-and-dots notation as 0.0.0.0:3306 and in IPv6
notation as [::]:3306. Using the latter format in log messages keeps the
output consistent with all types of addresses.
The details of the standard can be found at the following addresses:

The readwritesplit now sends COM_PING queries to backend servers that have
been idle for too long. The option is configured with the
`connection_keepalive` parameter.
The libaio is not required by MaxScale so the check for it is no longer
needed.
Updated documentation to match the current requirements to build MaxScale.
The connector plugin directory can now be controlled with the
`connector_plugindir` argument and configuration option. This should allow
the connector to use the system plugins if the versions are binary
compatible.
Replaced calls to mysql_options to mysql_optionsv as the former is
deprecated in Connector-C 3.0 and the latter is supported in Connector-C
2.3.
Change to modutil_extract_SQL(), add pcre2_data to filter session.
The pattern is now jit-compiled for maximum speed. Move general
pcre2 error printing to a function and macro. Add instance-level
statistics so the filter always prints diagnostic info. Add a mention
of PCRE2 to release notes.
