 * Modelling of taint flow through the array operations `map` and `join` has been improved. This may give additional results for the security queries.
 
+* The taint tracking library now recognizes additional sanitization patterns. This may give fewer false-positive results for the security queries.
+
 * Support for popular libraries has been improved. Consequently, queries may produce more results on code bases that use the following libraries:
   - [bluebird](http://bluebirdjs.com)
