Augeas is a configuration API and editing tool. Itparses common configuration files like /etc/hostsor /etc/grub.conf in their native formats andtransforms them into a tree. Configuration changesare made by manipulating this tree and saving itback into native configuration files.License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)Changes:
This release adds subtraction of regexps to the language. It reports errors during get/put in the tree; subnodes have been added to /augeas/files/PATH/error for that purpose. There are many bugfixes. All known memory leaks have been fixed. The typecheck for lens union (l1 | l2) has been fixed. Overall memory usage has been reduced by releasing unused compiled regexps. There are further performance improvements in libfa. This release checks that values match the regexps in STORE when saving. libfa can now convert an automaton back to a regular expression (FA_AS_REGEXP). There are new lenses for /etc/fstab, /etc/xinetd.conf, and /etc/xinetd.d/*.
