+## OpenRC 0.43
+
+This version changes the behavior of the checkpath helper to address
+CVE-2018-21269. on Linux systems, We require non-terminal symbolic links
+to be owned by root. Since we can't do this on non-linux xystems, we do
+not dereference non-terminal symbolic links by default. If you need them
+dereferenced, you should add the "-s" switch to the appropriate
+checkpath calls.
+For more information, see http://github.com/openrc/openrc/issues/201.

## OpenRC 0.42
