Subject: ANN: libseccomp v2.3.0 released

We've just released a new version of libseccomp, libseccomp version 2.3.0.  
The libseccomp library provides an easy to use, platform independent interface 
to the Linux enhanced syscall filtering mechanism.

 * https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/releases/tag/v2.3.0

This new version of libseccomp builds upon the previous release and should be 
a drop-in replacement for the 2.x releases.  All users are encouraged to 
upgrade to the new version at their earliest convenience.

Changes in the 2.3.0 release include:

 * Added support for the s390 and s390x architectures
 * Added support for the ppc, ppc64, and ppc64le architectures
 * Update the internal syscall tables to match the Linux 4.5-rc releases
 * Filter generation for both multiplexed and direct socket syscalls on x86
 * Support for the musl libc implementation
 * Additions to the API to enable runtime version checking of the library
 * Enable the use of seccomp() instead of prctl() on supported systems
 * Added additional tests to the regression test suite

Finally, thank you to everyone who has submitted suggestions, provided testing 
help, and contributed patches to the project.
