The Featureless Linux Library stable version 0.6.5 is released.
This release contains fixes and improvements discovered during daily use and several back ported fixes.
Added the following stand alone programs:
- fss_payload_read
- fss_payload_write
There are several build system improvements to make the project easier to use.
Several of the project build scripts are out of date in parameter handling and processing.
Proper Featureless Make functionality that is expected to be supported by the boostrapt script is found lacking in a few small ways.
The build setting files and fakefile files in this project should now have some more environment variables added by default.
These added environment variables are focused on locale.
The function fl_string_dynamic_partial_compare_trim() has been found to not be exposed in the header files by accident.
This means that the previous API is not consistent with the compiled ABI.
The function is now present that the API should now be consistent with the ABI.
The Featureless Make program is not as usable in the previous releases when using commands like "fake help".
This is due to an oversight where there may be no "main" section for a file that only has a "help" section.
This bug is fixed such that an error is no longer produced when missing "main" in the cases where the "main" section is not required.
Parameter expansion problems in regards to quotes in Featureless Make is now resolved.
The way threading is being used and linked to based on the default projects settings has been improved upon.
Any relevant documentation is updated accordingly.
Overall the project is proven to be rather stable and there have been very few bugs that needed to be resolved.
The following are changes since the 0.6.4 stable release.
