Version 0.4 =========== License ------- Starting with this version, pylibacl is licensed under LGPL 2.1, Febryary 1999 or any later versions (see README and COPYING). Linux support ------------- A few more Linux-specific functions: - add the ACL.equiv_mode() method, which will return the equivalent octal mode if this is a basic ACL and raise an IOError exception otherwise - add the acl_extended(...) function, which will check if an fd or path has an extended ACL FreeBSD support --------------- FreeBSD 7.x will have almost all the acl manipulation functions that Linux has, with the exception of __getstate__/__setstate__. As a workaround, use the str() and ACL(text=...) methods to pass around textual representations. Interface --------- At module level there are now a few constants exported for easy-checking at runtime what features have been compiled in: - HAS_ACL_FROM_MODE, denoting whether the ACL constructor supports the mode=0xxx parameter - HAS_ACL_CHECK, denoting whether ACL instances support the check() method - HAS_ACL_ENTRY, denoting whether ACL manipulation is possible and the Entry and Permset classes are available - HAS_EXTENEDED_CHECK, denoting whether the acl_extended function is supported - HAS_EQUIV_MODE, denoting whether ACL instances support the equiv_mode() method Internals --------- Many functions have now unittests, which is a good thing. Version 0.3 =========== Linux support ------------- Under Linux, implement more functions from libacl: - add ACL(mode=...), implementing acl_from_mode - add ACL().to_any_text, implementing acl_to_any_text - add ACL comparison, using acl_cmp - add ACL().check, which is a more descriptive function than validate
