Details below. If there are no details for a package, the release does
not contain any feature changes; but it may contain bugfixes, code
cleanups, build system improvements, and necessary tweaks to build with
the latest major version of skalibs.
* General
-------
- The skaware git repositories are now mirrored on Codeberg as well as
on sr.ht and GitHub. You can find the new mirror at
https://codeberg.org/skarnet
- A new configure option is available in all packages: --disable-rpath.
This option builds dynamic libraries, if any, without any embedded
RPATH.
- LLM-generated contributions are now explicitly forbidden by policy
in the CONTRIBUTING file of every package.
- The documentation pages on skarnet.org now support browser dark mode.
(Yay.)
* skalibs-2.15.0.0
----------------
- Due to a mistake on my part, there was an API breaking change between
2.14.4.0 and 2.14.5.0. This caused problems. A new major release is
the easiest way to fix that; recent versions of skaware should now be
linked against 2.15.
- Using the opportunity provided by the major bump, some APIs have
been cleaned up, and some deprecated APIs have been removed.
- iopause is now implemented over select() on MacOS. This is because
poll() is broken in various ways, that are difficult to test for, in
several versions of MacOS.
- New functions available in sassclient.h and sassserver.h, that
encapsulate synchronous/asynchronous communication primitives used
in programs such as s6-ftrigrd.
- Some documentation for fmtscan.h, courtesy of Hoël Bézier.

* execline-2.9.9.0
----------------
- New -f option to redirfd to make it behave more like open(): the
first argument of redirfd -f is not an fd to dup2() the newly opened
file to, but an environment variable that stores the new file
descriptor.
- Also comes with the -E option for autoimport, like other execline
programs exporting an environment variable.

git://git.skarnet.org/execline
* s6-2.15.0.0
-----------
- The ftrigr library interface has been reworked and cleaned up.
- New flag-timeout-killpg file for service directories.
- New s6-notify-socket-fd-from-socket and s6-notify-socket-from-fd
binaries. This is the old sdnotify-wrapper program, repackaged in s6,
and its dual: convert between the s6 and systemd notification protocols.
https://skarnet.org/software/s6/
git://git.skarnet.org/s6
* s6-rc-0.6.1.0
-------------
- Oneshot services are now run with the RC_NAME environment variable
containing the name of the service. (Longrun services were already
passed the name of the service as first argument to their run script.)
https://skarnet.org/software/s6-rc/
git://git.skarnet.org/s6-rc
* s6-networking-2.8.0.0
---------------------
- New --no-verify-cert option to s6-tlsclient, s6-tlsc and s6-tlsc-io
to succeed even when the X.509 server certificate chain isn't rooted
in a trusted anchor.
This is a major update because adding this option required an ABI
change.
https://skarnet.org/software/s6-networking/
git://git.skarnet.org/s6-networking
* smtpd-starttls-proxy-0.1.0.0
----------------------------
- New binary: qmail-remote. This is a drop-in replacement for the
original qmail MTA's qmail-remote program, which also works over IPv6,
supports STARTTLS, and does all the DNS queries in parallel.
This is a major update because it adds a dependency to s6-dns.

Enjoy,
Bug-reports welcome.
