+No user-facing changes.

+## 0.13.0
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+* Deleted the deprecated `GlobalValueNumberingImpl.qll` implementation.
+
+### New Features
+
+* Models-as-Data support has been added for C/C++. This feature allows flow sources, sinks and summaries to be expressed in compact strings as an alternative to modelling each source / sink / summary with explicit QL. See `dataflow/ExternalFlow.qll` for documentation and specification of the model format, and `models/implementations/ZMQ.qll` for a simple example of models. Importing models from `.yml` is not yet supported.
+
+### Minor Analysis Improvements
+
+* Source models have been added for the standard library function `getc` (and variations).
+* Source, sink and flow models for the ZeroMQ (ZMQ) networking library have been added.
+* Parameters of functions without definitions now have `ParameterNode`s.
+* The alias analysis used internally by various libraries has been improved to answer alias questions more conservatively. As a result, some queries may report fewer false positives.

+ * Holds if `op == k` is `areEqual` given that `test` is equal to `value`.
+ *
+ * Many internal predicates in this file have a `inNonZeroCase` column.
+ * Ideally, the `k` column would be a type such as `Option<int>::Option`, to
+ * represent whether we have a concrete value `k` such that `op == k`, or whether
+ * we only know that `op != 0`.
+ * However, cannot instantiate `Option` with an infinite type. Thus the boolean
+ * `inNonZeroCase` is used to distinquish the `Some` (where we have a concrete
+ * value `k`) and `None` cases (where we only know that `op != 0`).
+ *
+ * Thus, if `inNonZeroCase = true` then `op != 0` and the value of `k` is
+ * meaningless.
+ *
+ * To see why `inNonZeroCase` is needed consider the following C program:
+ * ```c
+ * char* p = ...;
+ * if(p) {
+ *   use(p);
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * in C++ there would be an int-to-bool conversion on `p`. However, since C
+ * does not have booleans there is no conversion. We want to be able to
+ * conclude that `p` is non-zero in the true branch, so we need to give `k`
+ * some value. However, simply setting `k = 1` would make the rest of the
+ * analysis think that `k == 1` holds inside the branch. So we distinquish
+ * between the above case and
+ * ```c
+ * if(p == 1) {
+ *   use(p)
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * by setting `inNonZeroCase` to `true` in the former case, but not in the
+ * latter.

-/**
- * DEPRECATED: This library has been replaced with a newer version which
- * provides better performance and precision. Use
- * `semmle.code.cpp.valuenumbering.GlobalValueNumbering` instead.
- *
- * Provides an implementation of Global Value Numbering.
- * See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_value_numbering
- *
- * The predicate `globalValueNumber` converts an expression into a `GVN`,
- * which is an abstract type representing the value of the expression. If
- * two expressions have the same `GVN` then they compute the same value.
- * For example:
- *
- * ```
- * void f(int x, int y) {
- *   g(x+y, x+y);
- * }
- * ```
- *
- * In this example, both arguments in the call to `g` compute the same value,
- * so both arguments have the same `GVN`. In other words, we can find
- * this call with the following query:
- *
- * ```
- * from FunctionCall call, GVN v
- * where v = globalValueNumber(call.getArgument(0))
- *   and v = globalValueNumber(call.getArgument(1))
- * select call
- * ```
- *
- * The analysis is conservative, so two expressions might have different
- * `GVN`s even though the actually always compute the same value. The most
- * common reason for this is that the analysis cannot prove that there
- * are no side-effects that might cause the computed value to change.
- */
-
-/*
- * Note to developers: the correctness of this module depends on the
- * definitions of GVN, globalValueNumber, and analyzableExpr being kept in
- * sync with each other. If you change this module then make sure that the

- * 000:  int f(int a, int b, int *p) {

- * 016:  }
- * ```
- *
- * Suppose we want to find the most recent side-effect for the dereference
- * of `p` on line 015. The `sideEffectCFG` has an edge from the function
- * entry (line 000) to the side effects at lines 004 and 007. Therefore,
- * the immediate dominator tree looks like this:
- *
- * 000 - 001 - 002 - 003
- *     - 004
- *     - 007
- *     - 009 - 010
- *           - 012 - 013
- *                 - 015
- *
- * The immediate dominator path to line 015 is 000 - 009 - 012 - 015.

+<p>Validate user input before using it to construct a file path.</p>
 
-<ul>
-<li>Do not allow more than a single "." character.</li>
-<li>Do not allow directory separators such as "/" or "\" (depending on the filesystem).</li>
-<li>Do not rely on simply replacing problematic sequences such as "../". For example, after applying this filter to
-".../...//" the resulting string would still be "../".</li>
-<li>Ideally use a whitelist of known good patterns.</li>
-</ul>
+<p>Common validation methods include checking that the normalized path is relative and does not contain
+any ".." components, or checking that the path is contained within a safe folder. The method you should use depends 
+on how the path is used in the application, and whether the path should be a single path component.
+</p>
+
+<p>If the path should be a single path component (such as a file name), you can check for the existence 
+of any path separators ("/" or "\"), or ".." sequences in the input, and reject the input if any are found.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that removing "../" sequences is <i>not</i> sufficient, since the input could still contain a path separator
+followed by "..". For example, the input ".../...//" would still result in the string "../" if only "../" sequences
+are removed.
+</p>
+
+<p>Finally, the simplest (but most restrictive) option is to use an allow list of safe patterns and make sure that
+the user input matches one of these patterns.</p>

-<p>In this example, a username and file are read from the arguments to main and then used to access a file in the
-user's home directory. However, a malicious user could enter a filename which contains special
-characters. For example, the string "../../etc/passwd" will result in the code reading the file located at
-"/home/[user]/../../etc/passwd", which is the system's password file. This could potentially allow them to
-access all the system's passwords.</p>
