- update to 7.2.0:
  * Functions ``VRT_AddVDP()``, ``VRT_AddVFP()``, ``VRT_RemoveVDP()`` and
    ``VRT_RemoveVFP()`` are deprecated.
  * Cookie headers generated by vmod_cookie no longer have a spurious trailing
    semi-colon (``';'``) at the end of the string. This could break VCL relying
    on the previous incorrect behavior.
  * The ``SessClose`` and ``BackendClose`` reason ``rx_body``, which
    previously output ``Failure receiving req.body``, has been rewritten
    to ``Failure receiving body``.
  * Prototypical Varnish Extensions (VEXT). Similar to VMODs, a VEXT is loaded
    by the cache process. Unlike VMODs that have the combined lifetime of all
    the VCLs that reference them, a VEXT has the lifetime of the cache process
    itself. There are no built-in extensions so far.
  * The VCC (compilation) process no longer loads VMODs with ``dlopen(3)`` to
    collect their metadata.
  * Stevedore initialization via the ``.init()`` callback has been moved
    to the worker process.
  * The parameter ``tcp_keepalive_time`` is supported on MacOS.
  * Duration parameters can optionally take a unit, with the same syntax as
    duration units in VCL. Example: ``param.set default_grace 1h``.
  * Calls to ``VRT_CacheReqBody()`` and ``std.cache_req_body`` from outside
    client vcl subs now fail properly instead of triggering an
    assertion failure (3846_).
  * New ``"B"`` string for the package branch in ``VCS_String()``. For the 7.2.0
    version, it would yield the 7.2 branch.
  * The Varnish version and branch are available in ``varnishtest`` through the
    ``${pkg_version}`` and ``${pkg_branch}`` macros.
  * New ``${topsrc}`` macro in ``varnishtest -i`` mode.
  * New ``process pNAME -match-text`` command in ``varnishtest`` to expect
    text matching a regular expression on screen.
