changed libacl version number, since we haven't done so since several bugs
got fixed - libacl.1.0.0 --> libacl.so.1.0.1, iow.  no other changes in this
version of the acl package.

2.0.12 (25 June 2002)
* Increment the libacl version so that its possible for other packages
  like Samba to easily tell which library version has the libacl build
  bug fixed (without having to play configure games, etc).
* In other words, libacl.so.1.0.0 is now libacl.so.1.0.1; nothing else
  has changed in this release.

2.0.11 (30 April 2002)
* Fix a bug when reallocating space in __acl_to_any_text.c
  (the bug causes ACL entries to get skipped!)
* Minor clean-up in the test/setfacl.test script

2.0.10 (22 April 2002)
* Add accidentally removed dependency of libacl on libattr.

2.0.9 (16 April 2002)
* Fix a struct alignment issue in libacl on 64 bit platforms.

2.0.8 (13 April 2002)
* Fix a minor issue in build macro handling introduced in 2.0.7.

2.0.7 (10 April 2002)
* Fix a bug in the --tabular format of getfacl where user/group names
  without a symbolic name did not get printed
* Remove setfacl/user_group.[ch] as these are no longer used
* Added configure check for libattr -- uses libtool archive if found

2.0.6 (08 April 2002)
* Fix a bug that causes setfacl not to report error messages if
  acl_set_file() fails (the bug was introduced in version 2.0.3).

2.0.5 (26 March 2002)
* Fix up acl_to_text compliance with POSIX draft.
* Add the new acl(5) manual page.
* Add a manual section 3 directory and Makefile.
* Add the libacl manual pages.
* Rename the existing acl_to_any_text function to __acl_to_any_text, and
  add a new acl_to_any_text function that only contains parameters that
  are actually useful.  Make acl_to_text and acl_to_any_text invoke
  __acl_to_any_text internally.  Update all uses of acl_to_any_text in
  getfacl/getfacl.c, setfacl/do_set.c, and chacl/chacl.c.
* Move the acl_size function form the LIBACL_CFILES to the POSIX_CFILES
  section (it is a POSIX function)
* Rearrange libacl routines so that several non-POSIX routines which
  were being exported are no longer exported (eg. acl_entry_to_any_str,
  acl_get_file_mode, acl_get_fd_mode, acl_set_file_mode, acl_set_fd_mode).

2.0.4 (12 March 2002)
* Man page updates from Andreas
* Test script updates from Andreas

2.0.3 (05 March 2002)
* Clean up the --default option handling in setfacl. The old
  workarounds caused a bug for unusual input.
* Changes to the --test output format setfacl generates: ACLs that
  are not changed are now displayed as `*'.
* Fix a bug in setfacl/sequence.c:seq_delete_cmd().
* Minor changes to test scripts

2.0.2 (01 March 2002)
* Apply several patches from Andreas, namely:
* man page fixes
* libacl code reformatting
* acl_from_text errno handling

2.0.1 (27 February 2002)
* Apply Andreas Gruenbacher's diffs.
* Fix up chacl for deletion of access ACL to be in line with Andreas. 
* Incorporate the Debian packaging again.

2.0.0 (21 February 2002)
* Reworked to use the new official system call API.
* Sync up with the XFS project, the SGI folk now use this source.
* Jumped to version 2 to allow XFS users to upgrade
  (Rationale: the XFS ACL user tools were at version 1.1.X, and
  packaging tools like rpm, dpkg, etc. must be presented with a
  greater version number to allow an upgrade to proceed).
* Added the chacl command to ease migration for existing XFS users,
  and for compatibility with IRIX.
* Added a flag to allow acl_print to produce a single-line ACL, in
  addition to the multi-line format.
* Extended attribute documentation has moved into the extended
  attribute package from SGI ("attr"), this ACL package now deals
  exclusively with ACLs.
* acl_from_text sometimes did not set errno when failing.
* Moved files and simplified #includes in libacl

0.7.22
* Create a shared version of libacl, instead of linking statically.
* Added missing error reporting to getfacl do_print() function.     

0.7.16
* Minor cleanups/fixes in the make files
* The test cases in test/src have been updated to match the
  corrected ACL entry syntax (see the 0.7.15 changes).

0.7.15
* acl_from_text() now accepts mask and other entries with either two
  or three fields (`other:rwx' or `other::rwx'). Posix 1003.1e specifies
  that these entries should have three entries, while under Solaris,
  they have only two fields.
* setfacl now parses mask and other entries with two or three entries.
* getfacl now produces mask and other entries with three fields
  (`mask::rwx' instead of the previous `mask:rwx').
* acl_get_fd(), acl_get_file(), acl_set_fd(), acl_set_file() now only
  fail with errno=ENOSYS if the underlying filesystem doesn't support
  ACLs. acl_get_fd() and acl_get_file() construct ACLs from the file
  mode permission bits if the kernel supports ACLs, but no ACL extended
  attributes are defined for the file (errno=ENOATTR).
* acl_to_text() wrongly separated ACL entires with ',' instead of '\n'.
* acl_from_text() only accepted three-letter permission strings
  (rwx, ---, rw-, etc.). Now also short strings (rw, -, etc.) are
  supported.

0.7.10
* acl_get_fd(), acl_get_file() now don't return basic ACL's anymore.
* acl_set_fd(), acl_set_file() fail on filesystems that don't support
  ACLs, even if the ACL to be set is a basice ACL.
* If msgfmt is not present on a system, the message catalog(s) are
  no longer being built.

0.7.8 (19 February 2001)
* Buffer overflow bug in ACL library (acl_to_any_text).
  (Reported by Charles Bertsch <CBertsch@microtest.com>)

0.7.2 (22 November 2000)
* Replace rman with groff for building HTML versions of the
  manual pages.
* Add descriptions of the permissions required for manipulating
  ACLs to the manual pages.
* Add long options to getfacl and setfacl, update the manual pages.
* Remove some small bugs from the src/showacl Perl script.
* showacl is now integrated in getfacl.
* Bug in acl_to_any_text() for ACLs with 0 entries fixed.
* Bug in acl_to_text(): Used '\n' as the ACL entry separator.
* German messages updated.

0.7.1 (23 October 2000)
* Basic GNU gettext support and a German translation of messages
  added.

0.7.0 (22 October 2000)
* Updates to the documentation
* Now an ACL_MASK entry is cloned from the ACL_GROUP_OBJ entry
  when needed also when the ACL_MASK entry is not re-calculated
  (-n option), so setfacl doesn't complain about an invalid ACL.

0.6.8 (11 October 2000)
* src/walk_tree.c was stat()ing the targets of symbolic links in
  WALK_PHYSICAL mode.
* Removed spurious definitions from src/gettext.h that caused
  problems with several versions of GNU gettext headers
* setfacl calls acl_delete_def_file() if removing the default ACL
  of a directory that doesn't have a default ACL. i(If the user lacks
  appropriate permissions, that no-operation fails.) Fixed.
* Tiny bug in src/showacl script (mask entry not applied to owning
  group entry)

0.6.5 (10 September 2000)
* Command line options revised for POSIX compatibility (now defaults to
  -H half-logical walk, added -L logical walk, -P physical walk).
* Funny post-order option no longer documented.

0.6.0 (24 March 2000)
* Permissions were not set to the union of the ACL_GROUP_OBJ and
  ACL_MASK_OBJ entries for `setfacl -b'.
* getfacl didn't display the default ACL for links do directories.

0.5.6 (31 Jan 2000)
* Cleaned up the ACL entry ring handling in the library
* Fixed a few minor issues with setfacl
* Fixed a bug in acl_equiv_mode
* Added acl_{get,set}_{file,fd}_mode functions

0.5.5 (19 October 1999)
* Updates to the documentation
* Some other things (?)

0.5.4 (up to 14 October 1999)
* Fixed an incompatibility with more recent GNU getopt
* Fixed a problem with errno handling in lib/text.c
* Some cosmetic changes to streamline the distribution process
* setfacl now implies `user:' if neither of `user', `group:',
  `other:' and `mask:' is given. Was a major annoyance (to me).
* errno not set when acl_read was presented with an empty file.
* some missing '\n' chars in setfacl

0.5.3
* Fixed a bug in setfacl.c that caused the default mask to
  be recalculated wrong.
* Fixed a bug in acl_kernel.c:acl_check_one() that caused
  invalid ACLs to be accepted

0.5.2 (25 September 1999)
* Added doc/Implementation.txt (some internals and ideas)
* Fixed a bug in lib/manip.c that caused setfacl to reject
  some valid ACLs
* Fixed a bug that caused setfacl to produce duplicate ACL
  entries
* Fixed a bug/feature that caused `sefacl -s' to include the
  current base ACL entries in results. This is not done with
  `setfacl -bm'.
