I'm happy to announce liblicense 0.5. Summary: Now this is worth
using.
This release features a huge amount of great work by:
Contributors: Hubert Figuiere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Nathan Yergler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Peter Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Scott Shawcroft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Jason Kivlighn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Most important things about this release:
* Uses SONAME versioning and provides an ABI guarantee - if you link to
liblicense.so.1 from here on out, you'll get back an ABI-compatible
library even if has code updates.
* Fixes many, many segfaults! (It used to segfault if you asked it to
read (for example) a corrupt JPEG.)
* RDF for licenses has been dramatically cleaned up by CC CTO Nathan
Yergler.
* Adds module shutdown function.
* More flexible API - fewer helper functions, more generic functions.
* We're (fairly) careful about only exporting ll_* symbols.
* Mostly C89 compliant, particularly by not relying on variable-sized
array feature of C99.
* Support environment variables that override the plugin or license RDF
paths for flexibility in strange deployment scenarios.
