+ ** ftp
+ 
++The ftp client now validate addresses returned by PASV/LSPV responses,
++to make sure they match the server address.  Reported by ZeddYu Lu in
++<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-inetutils/2021-06/msg00002.html>.
++
++Thanks to Luke Mewburn <lukem@netbsd.org> for discussion and fix to
++NetBSD code, we used a similar solution.
++
++** ftp
++
+ Disable use of readline when environment variable TERM is unset or set
+ to "dumb" (caused problems with Emacs AngeFTP on MacOS).  Thanks to
+ Alex Bochannek for report, debugging and patch.
