I just published a new release of
[Snuffleupagus](https://github.com/jvoisin/snuffleupagus/releases/tag/v0.7.1),
the hardening module for php7+ and php8+,
the version `0.7.1`, codename "Proboscideans",
named after the [taxonomic order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscidea)
of the Elephants.

No impressive or groundbreaking new features, but a maintenance release: more
stable, and with fewer bugs.

# Changelog

* Fixed possible memory-leaks when hooking via regular expressions
* Modernise the code by removing usage of `strtok`
* Prevent a possible crash during configuration reloading
* Fix the default rules to catch dangerous `chmod` calls
* Improve compatibility with various `libpcre` configurations/versions
* Improve the default rules' compatibility with php8
* Prevent XXE in php8 as well
* Improve a bit the verbosity of the logs
* Add a rules file for php8
