Changes

• initscr(), use stdout, not stderr, like the rest of the conio.h macros. Also, stderr may be redirected by user
• tree(), update unit test, use standard directries

Fixes

• initscr(), verify that both stdin and stdout are real TTYs before messing up output or blocking on input for the user

Changes

• Support absolute path in pidfile(). Needed by, e.g. Inadyn
• Add initial debian/ packaging
• Update README with note on remembering to set umask()

Fixes

• In use-cases when pidfile() is called consecutively, e.g. on SIGHUP, recreate PID file if it no longer exists

v1.8.2 - 2016-09-05

Changes

• Updated build instructions in README.
• Converted touch(), makedir(), makefifo(), and erase() from macros to inline functions. Also removed implicit logging to stderr on error.

Fixes

• Fix small memory leak in pidfile() ... at exit.
• Fixes for building on musl libc

v1.8.1 - 2016-06-25

Fixes

• fparseln(), portability fix for NetBSD
• pidfile(), portability fix for NetBSD and OpenBSD

v1.8.0 - 2016-06-06

Changes

• Change return type of fsendfile() from size_t to ssize_t
• Change dir() semantics: do not assert and always return error without calling perror() or similar.
• The OpenBSD pidfile() function's prefix path _PATH_VARRUN can now be overridden by setting the hidden __pidfile_path variable. E.g., to _PATH_TMP. Make sure read the docs!
• Add new unit test framework make check.

Fixes

• Fix bad path in new strndupa() header file.
• Add missing progress bar API's to lite.h

v1.7.0 - 2016-06-05

Changes

• Add support for GNU strdupa(), for Inadyn on NetBSD.
• Add support for GNU strndupa() and strnlen()

Fixes

• Fix mkpath() to handle creating relative directories.

v1.6.0 - 2016-05-13

Changes

• Add support for NetBSD fparaseln() for the benefit of Mg
• Add support for OpenBSD reallocarray() for the benefit of Mg
• Constify fisdir() argument

v1.5.1 - 2016-04-17

Minor fix release.

Changes

• Update README.md, add help when libite is used in autotools projects. Spell checking and minor cleanup.

Fixes

• Activate use of utimensat() when pidfile() is called multiple times. This reduces the overhead of calling open+write+close to simply updating the mtime of the PID file.
• Westermo fixes for fcopyfile(): nothing copied on embedded PPC system when using tmpfile() as source.

v1.5.0 - 2016-03-20

This release changes the header file namespace. Apologies for any problems this may cause!

Changes

• Change namespace for header files: libite/ to lite/, e.g. using pkg-config your C program must now #include <lite/lite.h>
• Update pidfile() to use utimensat() to update atime+mtime instead of opening and writing PID again. Less overhead and nanonsecond res.

v1.4.4 - 2016-02-23

Changes

• Add ibite.pc.in for pkg-config support.

Fixes

• Fix issue #3: tempfile() fails with bad O_TMPFILE on some embedded targets, in particular PowerPC. On systems with older GLIBC but with a sufficiently new kernel O_TMPFILE is missing and the local libite definition was wrong, hard coded for x86. Fixed by Johan Askerin.

v1.4.3 - 2016-02-02

Fixes

• Remove symlinks to Markdown files from GIT
• Distribute and install Markdown files: README.md, etc.

v1.4.2 - 2016-01-23

Fixes

• Fix issue #2: GCC6 -Wmisleading-indentation causing FTBFS in pimd, which enables -Werror

v1.4.1 - 2016-01-22

Fixes

• Fix install path for include files, regression in v1.4.0 With the introduction of GNU autotools include file namespace was unfortunately lost. All include files were therefore installed in $(prefix)/include instead of $(prefix)/include/libite.

v1.4.0 - 2016-01-22

Changes

• Change to GNU configure and build system
• Add Niels Provos' splay and red-black tree implementation from OpenBSD sys/tree.h, r1.14
• Make pidfile() file name accessible as __pidfile_name
• Step ABI revision to 2.1, with help from http://250bpm.com/blog:41

v1.3.0 - 2016-01-07

Changes

• Add highly useful typeless min()/max() macros to lite.h, courtesy of Tobias Waldekranz
• Add BSD queue.h and Borland inspired conio.h to install-dev target. Needed by Finit.
• Note, this release update queue.h to OpenBSD v1.43, which removes support for circular queues (CIRCLEQ).
• Update strlcpy.c to OpenBSD v1.12, readability fixes.
• Update strlcat.c to OpenBSD v1.14, readability fixes.
• Update strtonum.c to OpenBSD v1.7, tiniest of style tweaks.

Fixes

• Only update mtime if pidfile() is called more than once, do not install multiple atexit() handlers.
• Add #ifndef pidfile, as for other BSD functions, in case the user already have a local copy, or a C library with one.

v1.2.0 - 2015-11-23

Changes

• lfopen()
• lfclose()
• lftok()
• lfgetkey()
• lfgetint()
