It is more common to use zeros onstead of 0xff for memory erasure to make it indistinguishable from noinitialized memory

  • All visible changes are prepended to the latest section of a CHANGELOG.md for the affected packages.
    New section is never added with the code changes. (See RELEASING.md)
  • When applicable, versions are updated in .cabal and CHANGELOG.md files according to the
    versioning process.
  • The version bounds in .cabal files for all affected packages are updated.
    If you change the bounds in a cabal file, that package itself must have a version increase. (See RELEASING.md)
  • Self-reviewed the diff
