7 No visible changes release: just fix tests when running under pypy.
12 A bug-fix only release. Critical bugs (memory leaks and possible
13 segmentation faults) have been fixed thanks to Dave Malcolm and his
14 ``cpychecker`` tool. Additionally, some compatibility issues with Python
15 3.x have been fixed (str() methods returning bytes).
17 The documentation has been improved and changed from epydoc to sphinx;
18 note however that the documentation is still auto-generated from the
21 Project reorganisation: the project home page has been moved from
22 SourceForge to GitHub.
28 Added support for Python 3.x and improved support for Unicode filenames.
36 Starting with this version, pylibacl is licensed under LGPL 2.1,
37 Febryary 1999 or any later versions (see README and COPYING).
42 A few more Linux-specific functions:
44 - add the ACL.equiv_mode() method, which will return the equivalent
45 octal mode if this is a basic ACL and raise an IOError exception
48 - add the acl_extended(...) function, which will check if an fd or path
54 FreeBSD 7.x will have almost all the acl manipulation functions that
55 Linux has, with the exception of __getstate__/__setstate__. As a
56 workaround, use the str() and ACL(text=...) methods to pass around
57 textual representations.
62 At module level there are now a few constants exported for easy-checking
63 at runtime what features have been compiled in:
65 - HAS_ACL_FROM_MODE, denoting whether the ACL constructor supports the
68 - HAS_ACL_CHECK, denoting whether ACL instances support the check()
71 - HAS_ACL_ENTRY, denoting whether ACL manipulation is possible and the
72 Entry and Permset classes are available
74 - HAS_EXTENEDED_CHECK, denoting whether the acl_extended function is
77 - HAS_EQUIV_MODE, denoting whether ACL instances support the
83 Many functions have now unittests, which is a good thing.
92 Under Linux, implement more functions from libacl:
94 - add ACL(mode=...), implementing acl_from_mode
95 - add ACL().to_any_text, implementing acl_to_any_text
96 - add ACL comparison, using acl_cmp
97 - add ACL().check, which is a more descriptive function than validate
