@AsamK: Could you please also add a note about the new runtime dependency of libsignal v0.87.4 and later?
(From the wiki: "libsignal v0.87.4 and later versions require a C++ standard library at runtime which adheres to CXXABI_1.3.9 introduced with GCC 5.1.0 that is usually not available by default on older systems, see here")
