nmsg 0.15.1 release

Welcome to the 0.15.1 release of NMSG. This has one bug fix for the output stats collection (like seen with nmsgtool -dd) where the payload counters weren't counting correctly. The release also changes where plugins are found. Plugins are now found by default at $libdir/nmsg instead of lib/nmsg. This fixes a problem where plugins were not found with recent Debian packages built with --libdir configure option (used to install libraries in architecture specific directory). And ./configure --with-plugindir renamed to --with-pluginsdir. For third-party development uses of libnmsg with pkgconfig, the pkgconfig pc specification also depends on libprotobuf-c headers.

nmsg 0.15.0 release

nmsg version 0.15.0 was released. It provides the following new features:

• Added runtime-tunable environment variables NMSG_GRALIAS_FILE and NMSG_OPALIAS_FILE.

• Added compile-time version info to API: NMSG_LIBRARY_VERSION and MSG_LIBRARY_VERSION_NUMBER; and runtime functions: nmsg_get_version() and nmsg_get_version_number().

Other changes include:

• Ensure nmsg_sock_parse_sockspec() returns an error if an invalid port range is supplied.

• Fixed nmsg_io filtering default policy logic. (Previously, if the final filter returned "declined", that result was returned in place of the configured default policy.)

• Make nmsg_output_set_buffered() able to unbuffer nmsg_output_type_json objects.

• Fixed many compiler check warnings.

• Added multiple unit tests.

• Fix bugs caught by static analysis (cppcheck).

• For protobuf compatibility, renamed all protobuf-c generated enum names and types, although the wire format of the messages remains the same. (Thank you to Chris Morrow.) Compatibility definitions added to nmsg/compat.h to allow existing code to continue using the old names.

• Miscellaneous documentation improvements.
