The main news is that this release fixes an incompatiblity with very
recent Linux kernels.  Some other minor fixes and improvements, all but
one are due to Christof Schulze, to whom many thanks.

24 September 2018: babeld-1.8.3

  * Fixed a read-only two byte buffer overflow in the packet parser.
    This is a read-only overflow, and hence most probably not exploitable.
  * Fixed an issue with creating unreachable routes on recent kernels
    (4.16 and up).  Thanks to Christof Schulze.
  * Notice interface changes faster by listening to more netlink events.
    Thanks to Christof Schulze.
  * Fixed a local interface issue when an interface has no link-local
    address.  Thanks to Christof Schulze.
