The path expression 'label[. = "value"]' can now be written more concisely as 'label["value"]'

Fixed the pkg-config file, which should now be usable

Fix handling of backslash-escaping in strings and regular expressions in the lens language. We used to handle constructs like "\" and /\\/ incorrectly. (Issue #495)

do not unescape the default value of a del on create; otherwise we are double unescaping these strings (Issue #507)

Various changes to reduce bashisms in tests and make them run on FreeBSD (Romain Tarti�re)

1.8.1 - 2017-08-17

General changes/addition

Fix error in handling escaped whitespace at the end of path expressions (addresses CVE-2017-7555)

1.8.0 - 2017-03-20

General changes/additions

augtool: add a 'source' command exposing the aug_source API call

augtool: add a 'context' command to make changing into a node more discoverable

augtool: add an 'info' command to print important information

augtool: dramatically reduce memory consumption when all lenses are loaded by more aggressively releasing temporary data structures. On my machine, maximum memory usage of 'augtool -L' drops from roughly 90MB to about 20MB. This will not change the amount of memory used when only specific lenses are used, only the default behavior of loading all lenses, i.e., when -A is not passed.

make building augtool statically possible (J�rg Krause)

split aug_to_xml into its own source file, so that statically linking against libaugeas.a doesn't require also linking against libXml2 and its dependencies, provided aug_to_xml is not needed.

API changes

add aug_source to find the source file for a particular node

reduce memory consumption when AUG_NO_MODL_AUTOLOAD is _not_ passed; exact same details as described above for augtool

Lens changes/additions

Chrony: allow floating point numbers (Miroslav Lichvar) add new directives from chrony 3.0 and 3.1 (Miroslav Lichvar)

Yum: also read DNF files from /etc/dnf (Pat Riehecky) (Issue #434)

1.7.0 - 2016-11-08

General changes/additions

allow multiple transforms handling the same file as long as they also use the same lens (reported by Rich Jones)

fix a use-after-free in recursive lenses when spans are enabled (Issue #397)

fix an illegal memory access during put that can be triggered by a lens of the form 'del ... | l1 . l2' when the put has to jump branches in the union (Issue #398)

a large number of fixes based on Coverity scanning and running with gcc's address sanitizer. None of the issues uncovered would have lead to particularly significant leaks (they were all on the order 100-200 bytes) and often hard to trigger, but we now have proof that at least while running tests there are no leaks at all. See https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/pull/405 for details.

The type checker now checks regexes that are involved in expressions. For example, it used to be possible to write 'let rx = /a/ | /b)/' and not get an error from the syntax checker, even though 'let rx = /b)/' would result in an error. Such constructs are now checked properly. This new check might lead to errors in existing lenses, requiring that they be fixed.

Lens changes/additions

Cron_User: New lens to handle user crontab files in /var/spool/cron

Csv: fix failure to load lens on OpenBSD (Issue #396)

Grub: also look for UEFI grub files in /boot/efi/EFI/*/grub.conf (Rich Jones)

Splunk: support Splunk Universal Forwarder and underscore-prefixed keys for 6.x (Jason Antman)

1.6.0 - 2016-08-05

General changes/additions

augtool: add --load-file option, and corresponding load-file command to load individual files based on the autoload information in lenses

path expressions: numbers in path expressions are now 64 bit integers rather than whatever the C compiler decided 'int' would be

API changes

add aug_load_file to load individual files, bug #135

Lens changes/additions

Httpd: follow line continuations in comments

Nginx: look for nginx.conf in /usr/local/etc, too (Omer Katz)

tolerate building against OSX' libedit (Issue #256)

API changes

aug_match: fix a bug where expressions like /foo/*[2] would match a hidden node and pretend there was no match at all. We now make sure we never match a hidden node. Thanks to Xavier Mol for reporting the problem.

aug_rm: fix segfault when deleting a tree and one of its ancestors (Issue #319)

1.4.0 - 2015-05-22

General changes/additions

add a aug_escape_name call to sanitize strings for use in path expressions. There are a few characters that are special in path expressions. This function makes it possible to have them all escaped so that the resulting string can be used in a path expression and is guaranteed to only match a node with exactly that name

record all variables in /augeas/variables, regardless of whether they were defined with aug_defvar or aug_defnode; make sure /augeas/variables always exists

new builtins for printing and getting the types of a lens
add unit type to lens language; allow '_' as an identifier in let's to force evaluation for side effect only
Various fixes for Solaris. Augeas now builds cleanly on Solaris 5.10, and most of the tests pass. The three tests that fail all fail because the test scripts have Linux idiosyncrasies. This needs to be addressed in a future release. Much thanks to Dagobert Michelsen and the OpenCSW project for providing me with access to their build farm.
fix crash when recursive lens was used in a nonrecursive lens (bug #100)
context free parser/recursive lenses: handle 'l?' properly (bug #119); distinguish between successful parse and parse with an error at end of input; do caller filtering to avoid spurious ambiguous parses with grammars containing epsilon productions

much better error message when iteration stops prematurely during put/create than the dreaded 'Short iteration'

0.7.0 - 2010-01-14

Support for context-free lenses via the 'let rec' keyword. The syntax is experimental, though the feature is here to stay. See lenses/json.aug for an example of what's possible with that.
Support for case-insensitive regular expressions. Simply append 'i' to a regexp literal to make it case-insensitive, e.g. /hello/i will match all variations of hello, regardless of case.
Major revamp of augtool. In particular, path expressions don't need to be quoted anymore. The online help has been greatly improved.
Check during load/save that each file is only matched by one transform under /augeas/load. If there are multiple transforms for a file, the file is skipped.
New error codes AUG_ENOLENS and AUG_EMXFM
Do not choke on non-existing lens during save

0.0.6 - 2008-03-05

Make it possible to overwrite files when saving with and without backups
Take the filesystem root as an optional argument to aug_init
Expose these two things as command line options in augtool
