[augeas-devel] ANNOUNCE: Augeas 0.5.1

[David Lutterkort]

I am pleased to announce the release of Augeas 0.5.1; if I were into
code names, this would be the 'Who Knows Where Time Goes' release.

This is mostly a bugfix release, with a lot of fixes and improvements in
the lenses.

Detailed news:
  - augeas.h: flag AUG_NO_MODL_AUTOLOAD suppresses initial loading
              of modules; exposed as --noautoload in augtool
  - augtool: don't prompt when input is not from tty (Raphael Pinson)
  - augparse: add --notypecheck option
  - path expressions: allow things like '/foo and /bar[3]' in predicates
  - Lens changes/additions
    * Aliases: map comments as #comment (Raphael Pinson)
    * Build, Rx, Sep: new utility modules (Raphael Pinson)
    * Cron: new lens (Raphael Pinson)
    * Dnsmasq: process files in /etc/dnsmasq.d/* (ticket #65)
    * Grub: parse kernel and module args into separate nodes; parse
            arguments for 'serial', 'terminal', and 'chainloader'; allow
            optional argument for 'savedefault'
    * Interfaces: make compliant with actual Debian spec (Matt Palmer)
    * Iptables: relax regexp for chain names; allow comment lines mixed
                in with chains and rules (ticket #51)
    * Logrotate: allow '=' as separator (ticket #61); make newline at end
                 of scriptlet optional
    * Modprobe: handle comments at end of line
    * Ntp: parse fudge record (Raphael Pinson); parse all directives in
           default Fedora ntp.conf; process 'broadcastdelay', 'leapfile',
           and enable/disable flags (ticket #62)
    * Pbuilder: new lens for Debian's personal builder (Raphael Pinson)
    * Php: add default path on Fedora/RHEL (Marc Fournier)
    * Squid: handle indented entries (Raphael Pinson)
    * Shellvars: map 'export' and 'unset'; map comments as #comment
                 (Raphael Pinson)
    * Sudoers: allow backslashes inside values (ticket #60) (Raphael Pinson)
    * Vsftpd: map comments as #comment; handle empty lines; find
              vsftpd.conf on Fedora/RHEL
    * Xinetd: map comments as #comment (Raphael Pinson)

[1] To verify the signature, first download both the .sig file and the
corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify augeas-0.5.1.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys FC6E8A22

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.
