[augeas-devel] ANNOUNCE: Augeas 0.7.4

[David Lutterkort]

I am pleased to announce the release of Augeas 0.7.4.

This is mostly a bugfixing release, and fixes a number of very serious
bugs that can lead to segfaults and other unpleasantries. 

There are also a few lens changes that are not backwards compatible; see
the list below.

In detail:

  - augtool: new clearm command to parallel setm
  - augtool: add --file option
  - Fix SEGV under gcc 4.5, caused by difficulties of the gcc optimizer
    handling bitfields (bug #149; rhbz #651992)
  - Preserve parse errors under /augeas//error: commit 5ee81630, released
    in 0.7.3, introduced a regression that would cause the loss of parse
    errors; bug #138
  - Avoid losing already parsed nodes under certain circumstances; bug #144
  - Properly record the new mtime of a saved file; previously the mtime in
    the tree was reset to 0 when a file was saved, causing unnecessary file
    reloads
  - fix a SEGV when using L_MAYBE in recursive lens; bug #136
  - Incompatible lens changes
    * Fstab: parse option values
    * Squid: various improvements, see bug #46;
    * Xinetd: map service names differently

      bug #150

    * Shells: new lens for /etc/shells
    * Shellvars: parse ulimit builtin
    * Sudoers: load file from /usr/local/etc (Mathieu Arnold) Allow

Unfortunately, I won't be able to build Fedora/EPEL RPM's for at least a
week - would be great if somebody wants to beat me to it.
