+Default Python version changed to 3.9 [nia 2021-10-01]

+Increased enabled-by-default hardening options [nia 2021-09-27]
+
+       PKGSRC_USE_MKPIE was enabled on some architectures.
+       Packages that provide static libraries to other packages
+       should be rebuilt with MKPIE enabled.
+       Some packages may experience runtime errors on platforms
+       like i386 - usually this is due to unsafe assembly code,
+       which should be disabled when MKPIE is enabled.
+
+       PKGSRC_USE_RELRO was enabled on some architectures.
+       This should not affect the majority of packages that properly
+       honor CFLAGS/LDFLAGS when building.  Packages experiencing
+       problems loading dynamic ELF plugins at runtime should have
+       RELRO disabled.
+
+       PKGSRC_USE_SSP was bumped from "yes" to "strong".  This
+       is not expected to have a noticable effect.
