[augeas-devel] ANNOUNCE: Augeas 0.7.3

[David Lutterkort]

I am pleased to announce the release of Augeas 0.7.3.

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

  - aug_load: only reparse files that have actually changed; greatly speeds
    up reloading
  - record all variables in /augeas/variables, regardless of whether they
    were defined with aug_defvar or aug_defnode; make sure
    /augeas/variables always exists
  - redefine all variables (by reevaluating their corresponding
    expressions) after a aug_load. This makes variables 'sticky' across
    loads
  - fix behavior of aug_defnode to not fail when the expression evaluates
    to a nonempty node set
  - make gnulib a git submodule so that we record the gnulib commit off
    which we are based
  - allow 'let rec' with non-recursive RHS
  - fix memory corruption when reloading a tree into which a variable
    defined by defnode points (BZ 613967)
  - plug a few small memory leaks, and some segfaults
  - Lens changes/additions
    * Device_map: new lens for grub's device.map (Matt Booth)
    * Limits: also look for files in /etc/security/limits.d
    * Mysql: new lens (Tim Stoop)
    * Shellvars: read /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig (Frederik Wagner)
    * Sudoers: allow escaped spaces in user/group names (Raphael Pinson)
    * Sysconfig: lens for the shell subdialect used in /etc/sysconfig; lens
      strips quotes automatically
