Its likely as good a time as any to release popt-1.15,
as I'm never sure when I will have time to work on popt.
My reason for releasing now is so that I can start using
two new features in popt, and start phasing out legacy
compatible retrofit code:
The first "feature" is POPT_ARGFLAG_TOGGLE, which permits
both --foo and --nofoo (and --no-foo for the Debian enthralled)
options to be used to set or clear bit fields.
The second "feature" is a bit more subtle, doing simple sanity
checks, like is it a file, and is it owned by "root", on a
configuration file if the path is proceeded with a '@' attention
marker.
I will append the changelog for popt-1.15 below.
Any other RFE's?
