[augeas-devel] ANNOUNCE: Augeas 0.8.1

[David Lutterkort]

I am pleased to announce the release of Augeas 0.8.1.

This release contains a number of bugfixes, most importantly one that
addresses an issue with mutlithreaded programs that use multiple 'struct
augeas' instances, like libvirt (BZ 690286)

And Augeas is reportedly working on AIX (once again)

Detailed news:

  - augtool: respect autosave flag in oneshot mode, bug #193; fix segfault
    caused by unmatched bracket in path expression, bug #186
  - eliminate a global variable in the lexer, fixes BZ 690286
  - replace an erroneous assert(0) with a proper error message when none of
    the alternatives in a union match during saving, bug #183
  - improve AIX support
  - Lens changes/additions
