+- Update to version 2.99.8:
+  + signal_impl:
+    - Use std::weak_ptr<signal_impl> in connected slots, to avoid a
+      memory leak (bgo#775871).
+    - clear(): Really avoid erasing the slots prematurely.
+  + slot_rep: Make destructor, destroy, and clone() virtual,
+    instead of using function pointers that do the same thing
+    (bgo#777618).
+  + Build:
+    - Visual Studio builds: Require Visual Studio 2017.
+    - Add tests/memleakcheck.sh, to run the tests under valgrind
+      (bgo#775871).
+  + Make --disable-benchmark work (bgo#774732).
+  + Make silent builds really silent (bgo#768797).
