+  * Build broker bindings for older versions of Python (Johanna Amann, Corelight)
+
+    Recently (GH-370), the version of Python required to build the bindings
+    was upped to 3.7. This is problematic, as we have older versions of
+    Python in distributions that we still support; this lowers this version
+    again.
