 ## Bugs
 ##
 
+- Fixed a buffer overflow in mangle_dupechar_last function
+- Fixed a calculation error in get_power() leading to errors of type "BUG pw_add()!!"
 - Fixed a memory problem that occured when the OpenCL folder was not found and e.g. the shared and session folder were the same
 - Fixed a missing barrier() call in the RACF OpenCL kernel
 - Fixed a missing salt length value in benchmark mode for SIP
-- Fixed an invalid progress value in status view if words from the base wordlist get rejected because of length
-- Fixed an invalid optimization code in kernel 7700 depending on the input hash, causing the kernel to loop forever
+- Fixed an integer overflow in hash buffer size calculation
 - Fixed an integer overflow in innerloop_step and innerloop_cnt variables
 - Fixed an integer overflow in masks not skipped when loaded from file
-- Fixed an integer overflow in hash buffer size calculation
+- Fixed an invalid optimization code in kernel 7700 depending on the input hash, causing the kernel to loop forever
+- Fixed an invalid progress value in status view if words from the base wordlist get rejected because of length
 - Fixed a parser error for mode -m 9820 = MS Office <= 2003 $3, SHA1 + RC4, collider #2
 - Fixed a parser error in multiple modes not checking for return code, resulting in negative memory index writes
 - Fixed a problem with changed current working directory, for instance by using --restore together with --remove
 - Fixed a problem with the conversion to the $HEX[] format: convert/hexify also all passwords of the format $HEX[]
-- Fixed the dictstat lookup if nanoseconds are used in timestamps for the cached files
 - Fixed the calculation of device_name_chksum; should be done for each iteration
+- Fixed the dictstat lookup if nanoseconds are used in timestamps for the cached files
 - Fixed the estimated time value whenever the value is very large and overflows
+- Fixed the output of --show when used together with the collider modes -m 9710, 9810 or 10410
 - Fixed the parsing of command line options. It doesn't show two times the same error about an invalid option anymore
 - Fixed the parsing of DCC2 hashes by allowing the "#" character within the user name
 - Fixed the parsing of descrypt hashes if the hashes do have non-standard characters within the salt
-- Fixed the output of --show when used together with the collider modes -m 9710, 9810 or 10410
 - Fixed the use of --veracrypt-pim option. It was completely ignored without showing an error
 - Fixed the version number used in the restore file header
-- Fixed overflow in mangle_dupechar_last function
