The Featureless Linux Library stable version 0.6.6 is released.
This is release is made in celebration of the Fourth of July.
Adds the following stand alone programs:
- fss_basic_read
- fss_basic_write
- fss_extended_read
- fss_extended_write
There are about 1500 additional man pages representing the functions in addition to the usual bug fixes.
The man pages were sort of generated and then manually fixed.
These man pages are considered good enough but are not great.
There will likely be a future project to assist in generating man pages that are better than the tools that I currently used.
Of particular note is that I found and fixed problems in the FSS processing code.
The comments were not always being processed correctly resulting in actual Content being missed.
The Featureless Make build program has several notable fixes and improvements.
The build system has now seen a lot more uses and more corner cases and minor details are addressed.
Problems with propogating arguments across builds is now fixed.
