It will not officially be released, but we must import the
documentation nonetheless as otherwise it's not possible to
refer to the 2.2.8 release notes and that's needed because the
bugs fixed in 2.2.8 are still fixed in 2.2.8 and not 2.2.9.
Also, the list of release notes have been removed from the upgrading
document. The referral to the ChangeLog remains. That way, the list
of release notes need not be maintained in several places.

Enabling the session command history but limiting it to a history of 50
commands allows reconnections for sessions that don't change the state too
often.
As pooled connections will exceed this limit quite fast, they are not able
to reconnect to servers once connections are lost. To solve this problem,
the session command history needs a compaction process that removes
redundant history.
When the -p parameter is given without an argument, the password is read
from the command line. This allows passwords to be given to MaxCtrl in a
safer manner.
When MaxAdmin would be used without a controlling terminal, it would
refuse to accept passwords from stdin as it could not set the terminal
attributes. This means that executing MaxAdmin commands from other
programs would fail if the process had no controlling terminal.
Turning the error into a warning will allow users to know that terminal
echo is still enabled before they type their passwords.
