   - fix */build_...sh scripts to work outside of git
   - new custom_mutator: libafl with token fuzzing :)
   - afl-fuzz:
+    - when you just want to compile once and set CMPLOG, then just
+      set -c 0 to tell afl-fuzz that the fuzzing binary is also for
+      CMPLOG.
     - new commandline options -g/G to set min/max length of generated
       fuzz inputs
     - reintroduced AFL_PERSISTENT and AFL_DEFER_FORKSRV to allow

 Then run as many instances as you have cores left with either -Q mode or - even
 better - use a binary rewriter like Dyninst, RetroWrite, ZAFL, etc.
+The binary rewriters all have their own advantages and caveats.
+ZAFL is the best but cannot be used in a business/commercial context.
 
-If [afl-dyninst](https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/afl-dyninst) works for your
-binary, then you can use afl-fuzz normally and it will have twice the speed
-compared to QEMU mode (but slower than QEMU persistent mode). Note that several
-other binary rewriters exist, all with their advantages and caveats.

 The speed decrease of QEMU mode is at about 50%. However, various options exist
 to increase the speed:
