3838* The built-in C++20 "spaceship operator" (` <=> ` ) is now supported via the QL
3939 class ` SpaceshipExpr ` . Overloaded forms are modeled as calls to functions
4040 named ` operator<=> ` .
41- * The data-flow library has been improved, which affects and improves some security queries. The improvements are:
41+ * The data-flow library (` semmle.code.cpp.dataflow.DataFlow ` and
42+ ` semmle.code.cpp.dataflow.TaintTracking ` ) has been improved, which affects
43+ and improves some security queries. The improvements are:
4244 - Track flow through functions that combine taint tracking with flow through fields.
4345 - Track flow through clone-like functions, that is, functions that read contents of a field from a
4446 parameter and stores the value in the field of a returned object.
47+ * The security pack taint tracking library
48+ (` semmle.code.cpp.security.TaintTracking ` ) uses a new intermediate
49+ representation. This provides a more precise analysis of flow through
50+ parameters and pointers. For new queries, however, we continue to recommend
51+ using ` semmle.code.cpp.dataflow.TaintTracking ` .
52+ * The global value numbering library
53+ (` semmle.code.cpp.valuenumbering.GlobalValueNumbering ` ) uses a new
54+ intermediate representation to provide a more precise analysis of
55+ heap-allocated memory and pointers to stack variables.
4556* Created the ` semmle.code.cpp.models.interfaces.Allocation ` library to model
4657 allocation such as ` new ` expressions and calls to ` malloc ` . This in intended
4758 to replace the functionality in ` semmle.code.cpp.commons.Alloc ` with a more
