	  dedicated macros to check for the 'long long int', mode_t, pid_t and
	  ssize_t types. Changed the program's configured name, add URL in
	  AC_INIT(). Added checking for the "-fanalyzer" and "-fstack-check"
	  compiler options. Added checking for the pvalloc(), realpath(),
	  canonicalize_file_name() and strtoul() functions. Added checking for
	  limits.h.
	* src/{lsr_banning.c, lsr_memory.c, lsr_public.c.in, lsr_truncate.c,
	  lsr_unlink.c, lsr_wiping.c}: Moved the compatibility flags to
	  lsr_cfg.h.in.

2021-01-09	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* LibSecRm version 2.9
	  Added intercepting posix_fallocate64(). Portability improvements.
	  LibSecRm should work better with some filesystems which have i-node
	  numbers greater than 2^32-1 and compile under non-ANSI-C. Checked
	  running LibSecRm under GCC address & undefined behaviour sanitizers.
	  Added more unit tests.

	  for internal testing compiler compatibility.
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (__lsr_rename): choose a new character to wipe the
	  filename if the chosen one is the same as the original (at least the
	  first one).

	  like in the other functions
	* src/lsr_banning.c (check_dir, __lsr_is_forbidden_fs,
	  __lsr_can_wipe_filename): prefer stat64() if available. Check
	  also for stat() and skip if not available.
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_can_wipe_dirname, __lsr_is_forbidden_file):

	* src/lsr_truncate.c (posix_fallocate64): a new intercepted function
	* src/lsr_truncate.c (generic_posix_fallocate): a new generic function
	  to support both posix_fallocate() and posix_fallocate64().
	* src/lsr_truncate.c (fallocate, generic_posix_fallocate): Check also
	  for fstat() and skip if both fstat64() and fstat() are not available.
	* src/lsr_opens.c (generic_fopen, generic_freopen, generic_open,
	  generic_openat): code simplification and size reduce
	* src/lsr_public.c.in (lsr_posix_fallocate, lsr_fallocate): fixed
	  compiling without ANSI C
	* src/lsr_priv.h.in: corrected some declarations to avoid warnings
	* src/banning_generic.c (__banning_is_banned): fixed using the user
	  banning filename instead of the global one
	* Makefile.am: stop using 'tar --delete', for systems where GNU tar is

	* libsecrm.spec.in: removed obsolete commented-out commands, updated
	  the URL, added BugURL. Using macros for common elements.

2019-02-08	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* LibSecRm version 2.8
	  Added intercepting new functions. Fixed initialization code - fixed
	  lookup for fopen() and made intercepting malloc() disabled by
	  default, because it causes the library to crash. Many improvements
	  in checking if an object is banned from being wiped. Improvements
	  in code portability and compatibility. Better code maintainability,
	  updated copyright and documentation. Improvements in unit tests and
	  new tests added.
	* configure.ac: moved AC_LANG(C) before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL for improved
	  compatibility. Checking for sys/sysmacros.h for compatibility with
	  future glibc versions, which define makedev() there. Added checking
	  for the -Wno-nonnull-compare compiler flag to avoid warnings about
	  defensive programming code. Added checking for the stat() function.
	  Added checking for the -Wchkp, -Wformat-overflow=2, -Wrestrict
	  -Wduplicated-cond, and -Woverlength-strings compiler warning options
	* missing: script updated from new autoconf
	* src/libsecrm.c (__lsr_copy_string): put variables before code
	* src/libsecrm.c (__lsr_main): better casting of time() result to
	  avoid warnings. Set the internal flag when initializing. When the
	  fopen() functions can't be found by versioned lookup, try normal
	  lookup. This should fix compatibility with newer systems and make
	  banning work there.
	* src/*.c: define LSR_VOID to be 'void' in ANSI C and use that in
	  function definitions for better readability
	* src/libsecrm.h.in, src/lsr_memory.c, src/lsr_public.c.in,
	  src/lsr_banning.c: added defining the constants (_DEFAULT_SOURCE,
	  _ISOC11_SOURCE, _POSIX_C_SOURCE) for better compatibility with new
	  C libraries
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (__lsr_rename), src/lsr_banning.c
	  (__lsr_is_forbidden_file), src/lsr_memory.c (sbrk): fixed variable
	  types to avoid warnings
	* src/lsr_cfg.h.in: added missing constants
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_can_wipe_dirname): added a new function for
	  checking if directories apply for wiping. This allowed to make
	  __lsr_check_file_ban() and __lsr_check_file_ban_proc() static
	* src/lsr_banning.c: re-wrote some of the functions to use device-IDs
	  and i-node numbers, to be independent of the current directory and
	  to improve banning checks
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_can_wipe_filedesc): check if the i-node
	  does not match a banned file
	* src/lsr_banning.c (check_dir, __lsr_check_file_ban_proc): improved
	  checking directory entries
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_is_forbidden_file): check if the filename
	  does not start with a banned filesystem's name. Check the final
	  found object's type. Add support for symlink targets with paths not
	  absolute, but relative to the symlink. Check the file's base name
	  against the list of forbidden files, not the whole path.
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_is_forbidden_fs): added a new function for
	  checking if the object's filesystem's device ID is one of the
	  forbidden filesystems
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_can_wipe_filedesc, __lsr_can_wipe_dirname
	  __lsr_can_wipe_filename_atdir, __lsr_can_wipe_filename): added code
	  to check if the object is not on one of the forbidden filesystems
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_can_wipe_filename,
	  __lsr_can_wipe_filename_atdir): added a flag to allow either to
	  check the given object or the target object (if the given name turns
	  out to be a link)
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_is_forbidden_fd): read the name of the file
	  connected to the open file descriptor and check if it is one of the
	  forbidden files.
	* src/lsr_memory.c, src/lsr_priv.h.in, src/libsecrm.c,
	  src/lsr_public.c.in: intercepting the aligned_alloc() function
	* src/lsr_creat.c, src/lsr_opens.c, src/truncate.c: created generic
	  32-/64-bit functions with common code to be called from the
	  intercepted functions
	* src/lsr_public.c.in, src/lsr_truncate.c: simplified the missing
	  functions' declarations
	* src/lsr_public.c.in (lsr_open, lsr_openat64, lsr_openat): fixed
	  invalid variable names to remove potential compile-time errors in
	  code base on old-style varargs
	* src/lsr_opens.c (open, open64, openat, openat64): move the logger
	  after parameter initialization to display it properly in code based
	  on old-style varargs
	* src/lsr_public.c.in: fixed the declaration of __lsr_fill_buffer
	* README, INSTALL, doc/libsecrm.texi.in: added the new configure
	  option: --enable-intercept-malloc
	* libsecrm.spec.in: made the spec file more portable (assuming that
	  the required macros are properly defined on the target systems) and
	  removed some rpmlint warnings and errors
	* doc/libsecrm.texi.in, doc/libsecrm.3: added new URLs, updated the
	  description
	* test/*.c, test/Makefile.am: split the unit tests into separate
	  files, one for each functionality/compilation unit with intercepted
	  functions
	* test/lsrtest_banning.c (test_banned_in_userfile_prog,
	  test_banned_in_userfile_file): if the "HOME" environment variable is
	  not set, leave. Banning will not crash because of this, so no need
	  to test

2017-04-25	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* LibSecRm version 2.5
	  Many code improvements and simplifications in readability and
	  maintenance. Improvements to code related with banning the library
	  from interfering with fragile files and programs. Fixed wiping in
	  freopen* functions and memory. Improvements to performance. New
	  unit tests.
	* src/libsecrm-priv.h.in: rename to lsr_priv.h.in, for consistency
	  with the other libraries. Move extern "C" before the first extern.
	  Added LSR_SET_ERRNO and LSR_GET_ERRNO macros to simplify code in many
	  places. Added LSR_MEMCOPY, LSR_MEMSET and the respective replacement
	  functions' declarations. Added __lsr_copy_string declaration. Added
	  LSR_MAKE_ERRNO_VAR for declaring and initializing a variable that
	  holds the temporary errno value. Remove #defines for 64-bit versions
	  of functions that LibSecRm defines unconditionally anyway. Added a
	  warning when glibc 2.11 is used.
	* test/lsrtest.c: added a test for wiping open files. Added tests
	  related to banning. Deleting also the banned file after its tests.
	* src/lsr_banning.c (check_map): correct the expected sscanf() result
	* README, INSTALL, doc/libsecrm.texi.in: added a note that compiling
	  with a C++ compiler won't work right now due to some variable
	  casting constructs that are forbidden in C++. Added a note saying
	  that glibc 2.11 (and potentially other versions) has a bug which may
	  cause LibSecRm to hang during initialization in dl(v)sym.
	* src/*.c: simplified errno usage - not setting where not checked
	  after or when not in a user-called function. Use macros to set and
	  get errno where required. Simplify memcpy/strncpy/memset usage to
	  macros and conditionally-defined functions. All public functions
	  should now either preserve errno or keep the value set by the
	  original functions. Moved calling __lsr_set_signal_lock and
	  __lsr_unset_signal_unlock to __lsr_fd_truncate. This removes
	  duplicated code and variables and improves code maintenance.
	* src/libsecrm.c: added __lsr_copy_string and replacements for the
	  memcpy and memset functions.
	* src/libsecrm.c (__lsr_set_signal_lock): fixed undeclared variable
	  in case memset is not available.
	* src/lsr_wiping.c (__lsr_fd_truncate): synchronise the file when an
	  additional pass of wiping with zeros is defined. Use separate
	  variables for the size to pass to write(), for easy comparison with
	  write_res, the writing result. Use a variable for the loop limit
	  statement - diff/buffer_size - which can be calculated just once.
	* src/banning-generic.c: a generic file with functions related to
	  banning programs and files from being interfered with by the library.
	  Improved code deduplication and maintenance. The file will be used
	  in LibSecRm, LibHideIP and LibNetBlock.
	* src/lsr_banning.c: include and use banning-generic.c.
	* src/lsr_opens.c (freopen, freopen64): wipe the file being opened,
	  not the file being closed. Allow the standard streams to be wiped.
	* src/truncate.c (posix_fallocate, fallocate): fall back to the
	  original function if stat.h is not available.
	* src/lsr_opens.c (fopen64, fopen, freopen64, freopen, open64, open,
	  openat64, openat): check if truncating before checking for banning.
	  Saves much time when working.
	* src/truncate.c, src/lsr_opens.c, src/lsr_unlink.c, src/lsr_creat.c:
	  checking object type before wiping.
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (unlinkat): checking for real openat() existence
	  before using it and now not leaving without renaming if openat() is
	  unavailable.
	* src/lsr_banning.c (check_dir): fix logger
	* configure.ac, src/lsr_truncate, src/lsr_cfg.h.in: check for fstat64
	  and make stat64 struct variable definitions depend on existence of
	  fstat64, not just stat.h. If fstat64() is not available, use regular
	  fstat().
	* src/lsr_wiping.c (__lsr_fill_buffer): not overflowing the buffer in
	  case of wiping size < 3. Fixed special cases in buffer length.
	* src/lsr_memory.c (pvalloc): fixed the wiping length in case it was
	  originally a multiple of the page size.
	* src/libsecrm.c (__lsr_main): correctly intercepting pvalloc()
	* src/lsr_creat.c, src/lsr_memory.c, src/lsr_opens.c,
	  src/lsr_public.c.in, lsr_truncate.c: surrounded external definitions
	  with >extern "C"<.

2015-09-04	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* LibSecRm version 2.0
	  Library marked as not requiring executable stack (security reasons).
	  Fixed fallocate(), posix_fallocate() and brk() (in case of systems
	  without sbrk()). Fixed unlink()&friends with file renaming. Fixed
	  errno setting. Fixed banning functions. Added unit tests. Minor
	  code cleanup.
	* configure.ac: checking for the -Wl,-z -Wl,noexecstack compiler
	  option and -z noexecstack linker option. Rearranging the check for
	  libdl to enable the default behaviour (adding it to the LIBS) - this
	  allows using tests and removes the need to preload libdl along with
	  libsecrm. Checking for the "check" library for unit tests. Checking
	  for the symlink() and mkdir() functions for tests. Checking for the
	  fstatat() function for use in unlinkat.
	* test: added unit tests for LibSecRm

	  and updated filename for the new version
	* src/lsr_banning.c: created new constants for common #defines
	* src/lsr_memory.c (brk): leaving with ENOSYS only if original brk()
	  is not available. When sbrk() is unavailable (which we need), just
	  call original brk().
	* src/libsecrm-priv.h.in: added SET_ERRNO_MISSING to set the errno
	  when the original function is missing on the system. Fixed the value
	* src/randomize_names_perl.sh: optimized the name matching
	* README, INSTALL, doc/libsecrm.texi.in: described in detail how to
	  hide LibSecRm by randomizing internal names
	* src/Makefile.am: added the "randomnames" target for easy internal
	  name randomization (hiding LibSecRm from simple symbol listing)
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (__lsr_rename): if renaming failed, use the
	  previous name for the next renaming iteration. Otherwise, if a file
	  couldn't have been renamed, it wouldn't be deleted by unlink() etc.
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_is_forbidden_file): a new function that
	  checks for known files that shouldn't be overwritten by LibSecRm
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (unlink, unlinkat, remove, rmdir): using the
	  new function, __lsr_is_forbidden_file, to check if a filename is
	  known and banned.
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (unlinkat): using fstatat() to check the object type
	* src/lsr_truncate.c: wiping regular files only

2013-06-02	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	  improvements (fixes for compilation without some header
	  files or functions). Other small fixes and updates.
	* src/lsr_banning.c: fixes for compilation without some header
	  files or functions. Added including the missing malloc.h file.
	* configure.ac: checking for the -O3 compiler option. No longer
	  requiring malloc(). Checking for the basename() function.
	* README, INSTALL, doc/libsecrm.texi.in: changed "rpm" to "RPM",
	  commands in separate paragraphs
	* src/Makefile.am: made libsecrm.h not distributed
	* src/lsr_truncate.c: removed including the unnecessary malloc.h file
	* src/lsr_unlink.c: more checks for NULL
	* src/lsr_wiping.c (__lsr_fd_truncate): fixed freeing an
	  unallocated buffer. Using a static buffer if malloc() unavailable.
	  Initializing the list of selected patterns.
	* doc/libsecrm.texi.in: added a note about renaming deleted objects
	* src/lsr_memory.c: initializing the list of selected patterns
	* src/lsr_unlink.c (__lsr_rename): checking for basename().
	* src/lsr_banning.c, src/libsecrm.c, src/lsr_unlink.c: corrected
	  the location of GCC attributes in function parameter lists

	* LibSecRm version 1.8
	  Portability improvements. Banning mechanism fixed and updated
	  with new possibilities.
	* src/lsr_wiping.c: portability improvements in declarations.
	* README, INSTALL, doc/libsecrm.texi.in, ChangeLog, doc/libsecrm.3:
	  documentation updates and corrections.
	* src/lsr_truncate.c (fallocate, posix_fallocate): fixed compiling
	  for non-ANSI-C compilers.
	* configure.ac: added a summary of enabled options. Added two new
	  command-line banning-related options: --enable-environment
	  (enables additional banning files pointed to by environment
	  variables) and --enable-user-files (enables additional banning
	  files in users' home directories). Using AS_HELP_STRING to format
	  help for options. Added the --with-passes option to allow specifying
	  the number of passes at configure time, not only at compile time.
	  Added the --with-buffer-size option to allow specifying the buffer
	  size at configure time, not only at compile time.
	* src/libsecrm-priv.h.in.h: added missing LSR_ prefixes
	* src/lsr_banning.c: support for banning files pointed to by
	  environment variables and additional banning files in users' home
	  directories. Fixed checking if a file or program is banned.
	* src/libsecrm.h.in: added constants for the names of the
	  environment variable poiting to an additional banning file location
	  and additional banning files in users' home directories.
	* src/Makefile.am: made libsecrm.h not only in PUBLIC_INTERFACE,
	  since now it is used in lsr_banning.c.
	* src/lsr_public.c.in: added additional declaration of fallocate() in
	  case the function is missing on the target system.

2012-02-26	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	  fopen() is available before using it.
	* src/lsr_banning.c: more debug messages
	* src/lsr_banning.c (__lsr_check_file_ban_proc): the process which is
	  manipulating the file can have it open.
	* src/{libsecrm.h.in,lsr_public.c.in}: changed the prefix from "lsr"
	  to "libsecrm" on internal libsecrm functions (leaving "lsr" on the
	  replaced functions)

	* libsecrm.pc.in: a data file for pkg-config.
	* libsecrm.spec.in: added the pkg-config file to the -devel package
	* Makefile.am: added the file for pkg-config. Made the documentation
	  newer than its source files in the distribution (so it won't be
	  recompiled unless required).
	* INSTALL: added the --enable-public-interface configure option.
	* doc/libsecrm.texi.in: add more description to the
	  --enable-public-interface configure option.
	* README, INSTALL, doc/libsecrm.texi.in: changed "program" to
	  "library" when talking about libsecrm.
	* src/lsr_public.c.in: added version information to the library's
	  public interface.
	* src/libsecrm.h.in: added version information to the library's
	  public interface, removed dependency on unistd.h, added stdint.h
	  instead (should be more common).

2011-03-17	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 1.5
	  Run flawfinder, rats and cppcheck on the code and fixed a few
	  performance and syntax problems.
	* README: added the glibc license block. Updated RPM creating.
	  Described configure option --enable-public-interface.
	* doc/libsecrm.texi.in: updated RPM creating.

	  function that returns the number of compiled passes -
	  lsr_get_number_of_passes(). Added lsr_fallocate() and
	  lsr_posix_fallocate().
	* src/lsr_truncate.c: added fallocate() and posix_fallocate().

2010-05-22	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 1.4
	  Upgrade to newer autotools, gcc and libtool. Added some copyright
	  notices when using code from the GNU C library. Run flawfinder on
	  the code and changed some parts according to the result. Fixed
	  compiling on non-ANSI-C compilers.
	* doc/libsecrm.texi.in: Update. Added one more limitation of LibSecRm.
	* configure.ac: added AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, recommended by libtoolize.
	* libsecrm.spec.in: corrected warnings displayed by rpmlint
	* configure, configure.ac: new command line option

	* src/lsr_memory.c: added pvalloc().
	* src/lsr_public.c.in, src/libsecrm.h.in: added lsr_pvalloc().
	* src/randomize_names*: updated name randomization scripts.

2009-05-08	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 1.3
	  New compie-time options: defining LAST_PASS_ZERO causes an additional
	  wiping with zeros to be performed, defining ALL_PASSES_ZERO causes
	  all passes to use zeros for wiping. Added simple scripts that
	  randomize the library's public function names so it is harder to
	  detect.
	* lsr_memory.c: brk() and sbrk() now wipe also the memory being freed.
	* README, INSTALL, info, manpage, libsecrm.spec.in: update
	* libsecrm.h.in, lsr_memory.c: defining _BSD_SOURCE for better
	  compatibility with OpenBSD, just in case.
	* src/Makefile.am: fixed still one file too many distributed
	* configure.ac: fixed command-line parameters, added
	  "--enable-last-zero" and "--enable-all-zeros".

2009-02-20	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 1.2
	  Displaying error messages about stat macros (during compiling) only
	  if sys/stat.h is present. No more public variables and non-namespaced
	  function names.
	* libsecrm-priv.h.in: fixed PATH_STYLE vs. PATH_SEP typo. Defining
	  GCC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to an empty string if not supported by the
	  compiler.
	* lsr_banning.c: fixed checking for unistd.h. Changed MAXPATHLEN to
	  LSR_MAXPATHLEN.
	* lsr_banning.c (__lsr_check_prog_ban): checking if fopen() is present
	* configure.ac: added a check for -O2 compiler flag. Searching for
	  varargs.h if stdarg.h not available.
	* libsecrm.spec.in: added CFLAGS='-march=i386' to configure stage.
	* doc/libsecrm.texi.in: removed "indicateurl", since OpenBSD's
	  makeinfo doesn't like it. Added a note on how to hide Libsecrm.
	* lsr_public.c.in, lsr_opens.c: better checking for stdarg.h/varargs.h.
	* lsr_memory.c: wiping with randomly-selected pattern.
	* lsr_unlink.c: added the rmdir() function. Renaming the object back
	  to its original name if unlinking failed.
	* src/Makefile.am: fixed too many files distributed

2008-11-30	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 1.1
	  Added some memory management functions. Changed "! STDC_HEADERS" to
	  "!defined STDC_HEADERS". Verified compiling on OpenBSD. Defining
	  _ATFILE_SOURCE for *at() functions' declarations.
	* docs: added the libsecrm website addresses on SourceForge. Added
	  info about wiping memory. Added one more "thanks" to the manpage.
	* lsr_cfg.h: moved GCC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to libsecrm-priv.h
	* libsecrm-priv.h: made some function declarations more portable.
	* lsr_public.c: made some external function declarations more
	  portable. Calling the original functions no matter whether
	  they've been found on the system. Libsecrm's replacements will be
	  called anyway.
	* configure: automatically generating version numbers in
	  libsecrm.spec, src/lsr_cfg.h and doc/libsecrm.texi. Automatically
	  generating src/libsecrm.h, src/lsr_public.c and src/libsecrm-priv.h,
	  for portability. Checking for 64-bit functions and defining their
	  prototypes by hand if necessary. Checking for dlvsym() in libdl.
	  Changed the docs' path in the configure warning.
	* lsr_truncate.c: fill_buffer now public as __lsr_fill_buffer. It also
	  checks for NULL in "selected".
	* libsecrm.c: better checking for dlvsym().
	* libsecrm.spec: changed the URLs. Updated description.

2008-07-13	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 1.0
	  Removed the "errno" bug, discovered while working on wipefreespace,
	  thanks to Patrick 'marlowe' McDonald. Using Gutmann method by
	  default. It can be switched off with
	  	./configure --enable-random-method
	* configure.ac: Added new compiler options to check for: -O1
	  -Wuninitialized, -Winit-self, -Wlogical-op, -fstack-protector-all,
	  -Wno-long-long. A new option to select the shred-like wiping method.
	  No more using autoconf variables - total independence.
	* THANKS: a new file with the list of people I'd like to thank.
	* lsr_truncate.c, libsecrm-priv.h: implemented the full Gutmann
	  method.
	* lsr_banning.c (check_map): better typecasting with the tmp_inode.
	* libsecrm.c: much better signal return type handling.

2008-05-02	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.9
	  The Konqueror bug turned out to be really in Konqueror, not
	  libsecrm. This release brings only portability corrections - both
	  in 'configure' and source files.
	* configure.ac: Better portability. Less relying on autoconf
	  variables.
	* libsecrm.c: Better checking for libdl/dlsym.

2007-11-28	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.8
	  Defining _GNU_SOURCE only if not already defined. Setting nagative
	  errno codes, like it's usually done. Best (probably) checks if a
	  file is used. Some banning checks moved after object checks to
	  improve performance.
	* lsr_public.c: now pre-ANSI-compatible (I hope). Better openat()
	  and openat64() declarations. Checking if openat() and unlinkat()
	  available and returning -ENOSYS if not instead of calling
	  nonexistent functions.
	* libsecrm-priv.h: added openat(), openat64() and unlinkat()
	  declarations, if these functions are not available.
	* configure.ac: check for openat() and unlinkat(), added checks
	  for 2 more compiler options, double quoting all of them. Better
	  checking for format warnings. Corrections in m4/ax_gcc_option.m4.
	  Checking for RTLD_NEXT in fcntl.h. Defining _GNU_SOURCE only if not
	  already defined.
	* lsr_opens.c, lsr_creat.c: printing flags/mode in octal.
	* lsr_opens.c (open64, open): banning a file pattern for
	  'rpm --addsign' to work.
	* lsr_banning.c: new file with functions checking if a file or program
	  is not to be tampered with (moved from libsecrm.c). Added checking
	  if a file is already opened, using /proc filesystem (probably the
	  best way to do it, taken from 'fuser' source). Slow, but effective.

2007-11-11	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.7
	  Using old wipe-anything technique if new signal+fcntl is not
	  available. Signal & fcntl stuff now only in one function (called
	  for every wiping). Renaming libsecrm.h to libsecrm-priv.h
	  Libsecrm is now a library for developers, too. It has a header file
	  - ${prefix}/include/libsecrm.h and a "import library" libsecrm.a.
	  Big portability corrections, some to non-ANSI compilers. Libsecrm
	  now compiles on OpenBSD. Checking compiler options instead of
	  asuuming them.
	* libsecrm-priv.h: internal header file renamed from libsecrm.h.
	  Defining ftruncate/64, if needed. Defining path separator (needed
	  for opening the banning files).
	* lsr_unlink.c (__lsr_rename): fixed bugs with strncpy(). Now
	  returning NULL in case of error instead of the old name. Syncing
	  only if necessary (number of passes > 1).
	* docs: more requirements for compiling. Adding info saying
	  that write permissions to the file being wiped are required. Minor
	  corrections. Added info about not supporting the syscall()
	  functions. Added info on using libsecrm as a development library.
	* libsecrm.c: some cleanup. Fixed not closing ban files before return.
	  Fixed stack error. Fixed banning - empty lines always matched.
	* lsr_opens.c (open, open64): removed useless doubled checking.
	* lsr_creat.c: supporting the creat() and creat64() functions.
	* configure.ac:  Checking for renameat() existence. Checking for
	  F_SETLEASE, F_GETSIG and F_SETSIG and printing a warning if not
	  available. Better portability.
	* libsecrm.h: public interface header file. Old contents renamed to
	  libsecrm-priv.h
	* lsr_public.c: public interface source file.
	* lsr_truncate.c (__lsr_fd_truncate): fsync()ing only if number
	  of passes > 1. Memory leak fixed.

2007-09-16	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.6.
	  Better signal handling (needed because of the Xpdf/libfreetype
	  issue). Adding support for banning programs and files from
	  messing with them, via config files in ${prefix}/etc. More
	  info in the docs. 64-bit functions now active.
	* configure.ac: Better portability.

2007-09-08	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.5
	* better portability (checking for the 'long long' type). Xpdf issue
	  fixed, but only on sysmes with GNU/Linux kernel >= 2.4 (using
	  fcntl() to check if a file is already open). Better error handling.
	* lsr_opens.c: non-serious bugs fixed.

2007-08-06	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.4 (0.3 lived less than half a day on the net)
	* Switched to GPLv3. New compile macro 'BUF_SIZE' in CFLAGS available.
	  Using #pragmas for better compile-time error checking.
	* lsr_truncate.c: Checking if file is regular or a link instead
	  of checking simply for non-directories. Memory leaks fixed.
	  One function for all actions. Making 'buf' and 'seleced' local
	  helps process/thread-safety. No action is taken if stat() is not
	  available, stat() returns error or file is not a regular file/link.
	  Portability corrections. More error checking. Openeing files in
	  exclusive mode.
	* lsr_unlink.c: Portability corrections. Using stat64/lstat64/fstat64,
	  if the system uses it. Single function for renaming files. Renaming
	  done only if action will be taken, not unconditionally. Sync after
	  each rename. No action is taken if lstat()/fstat() is not available,
	  it returns an error or the object is not a regular file.
	  Workaround an issue with Kate/DCOP: if file name matches
	  ".ICEauthority", the file is NOT wiped and NOT truncated.
	  Workaround an issue with BASH and here-documents: if file name
	  matches "sh-thd-", the file is NOT wiped and NOT truncated. BASH
	  unlinks the file before reading from it.
	* libsecrm.h: Better compile-time macro 'PASSES' handling. Separating
	  64 bit and non-64 bit versions. More 'const'. Conditionally declare
	  renameat().
	* lsr_opens.c (freopen, freopen64): Using ftruncate/64 instead of
	  truncate/64, because the file may have been opened in some kind
	  of exclusive mode and normal truncate would fail as it would need
	  to open the file once more. This also doesn't increase the number
	  of file handles associated with the same file. If getting the file
	  descriptor fails, truncate/64 is used.
	* lsr_opens.c (fdopen): removed, because the original function never
	  wipes any data (man fdopen).
	* doc update with full texts of licences.

2007-07-14	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* libsecrm version 0.2.
	* lsr_unlink.c (unlink, unlinkat): Bugs fixed.
	* lsr_unlink.c: Better error handling. Memory checks.
	* lsr_opens.c: Better error handling.

2007-07-08	Bogdan Drozdowski <bogdro /at\ users . sourceforge . net>

	* First release of libsecrm, version 0.1.
	  Replaces the following functions: fopen, freopen, fdopen, open,
	  openat, unlink, unlinkat, truncate, ftruncate (or the 64-bit
	  versions of these, if needed).
