+* Several improvements made to the `NullTermination.qll` library and the 'Potential improper null termination' (cpp/improper-null-termination). These changes reduce the number of false positive results for this query and related query 'User-controlled data may not be null terminated' (cpp/user-controlled-null-termination-tainted).
