+  - Minor features:
+    - Try to use system facilities for enumerating local interface
+      addresses, before falling back to our old approach (which was
+      binding a UDP socket, and calling getsockname() on it). That
+      approach was confusing people whose draconian firewall software
+      didn't like binding to UDP sockets, regardless of whether
+      packets were sent. Now we try to use getifaddrs(), SIOCGIFCONF,
+      or GetAdaptersAddresses(), depending on what the system
+      supports. Resolves ticket #1827.
