+- Update to 6.9.6 
+  - When using configure script, if you have the POSIX API enabled
+    in an earlier version (disabled by default in 6.9.5) and you
+    need application binary compatibility with the POSIX API,
+    specify "--enable-binary-compatible-posix-api=yes" instead of
+    "--enable-posix-api=yes". Starting in 6.9.6,
+    "--enable-posix-api=yes" only supports source-level
+    compatibility for 6.9.5 and earlier about POSIX API. (Issue
+    #210)
+  - NEW: configure option
+    --enable-binary-compatible-posix-api=[yes/no]
+  - NEW API: Limiting the maximum number of calls of subexp-call
+  - NEW API: ONIG_OPTION_NOT_BEGIN_STRING / NOT_END_STRING /
+    NOT_BEGIN_POSITION
+  - Fixed behavior of ONIG_OPTION_NOTBOL / NOTEOL
+  - Fixed many problems found by OSS-Fuzz
+  - Fixed many problems found by Coverity
+  - Fixed CVE-2020-26159 (This turned out not to be a problem
+    later. #221)
+  - Under cygwin and mingw, generate and install the libonig.def
+    file (Issue #220)
