Highlights
==========
This release is a bug-fix release, correcting a handful of
issues discovered after the previous version was tagged.
Bugfixes
========
* The bundled ivykis has been updated, fixing the following
issues:
* Fixed a Solaris-specific issue relating to TCP sources
[#190]
* Fixed a spinlock issue, triggered on at least FreeBSD
[#193]
* Workaround an issue with kqueue() on /dev/klog [#201]
* The file source was corrected to properly handle character
devices. This, and the ivykis update fixes a CPU spinning
issue on FreeBSD. [#201]
* The sun-streams module had a file descriptor leak, which has
been corrected too. [#151]
* The glob-based configuration file inclusion was fixed to
behave similarly to including a whole directory, to include
files alphabetically. [#191]
The @include mechanism was also updated to not fail
silently, but report an error in certain cases (such as
permission errors, or missing files in case of an explicit,
non-glob include). [#209]
* Fixed a crash when trying to display the available modules
in debug mode. [#189]
* Fixed the building of afsocket-notls, so that it is
correctly built without TLS support. [#188]
* Fix compilation without spoof-source. [#192]
* Avoid a feedback loop when emitting debug (and trace)
messages. [#208]
* Various minor fixes around the build system.
Features
========
* The stats will now list the filename of unix domain
sockets. [#195]
