2021-10-17 - Version 2.4.15
---------------------------
o Bugfix (GH #201):
    Work around DirectAdmin's non-conventional execve() call (null argv).
    (Thanks to Yavuz Aydin (@yavuzaydin @ GitHub) for reporting this issue and
    for providing access to a reproduction environment to aid the investigation.)



2021-04-20 - Version 2.4.14
---------------------------
o Bugfix (GH #198):
    Prevent overflow in the `cmdline` datasource.
    (Thanks to Ken TSUKAHARA (@ken3 @ GitHub) for finding, reporting and fixing this.)



2021-04-14 - Version 2.4.13
---------------------------
o Enhancement (GH #194, #195):
    Datasource `datetime` now support custom date and time formatting, with %-based
    conversion specifications - strftime()'s manual page contains all the details.
    (Thanks to @ky4k0b (@GitHub) for suggesting this.)



2021-02-09 - Version 2.4.12
---------------------------
o Bugfix (GH #191, #192):
    Fix incorrect handling of sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)'s return value in cmdline
    datasource.
    (Thanks to Marco Stagno (@MarcoStagno @ GitHub) for reporting this.)



2021-02-02 - Version 2.4.11
---------------------------
o Enhancement (GH #179):
    Introduction of SonarCloud static analysis pointed out many potential issues
    and other code smells, all fixed now (details are available in the repo history).

o Enhancement (GH #176):
    Add installation support for Arch Linux and OpenSUSE.

o Enhancement (GH #175):
    Remove installation dependency on the `which` program.
    Additionally, remove configure dependency on `socat` and `ps` programs.
    Additionally, add a script to quickly install all development-related
    programs on mainstream Linux distributions.

o Bugfix (GH #184):
    Fix out-of-source builds (+ a verificaton job has been added to CI so we
    don't break that aspect inadvertently again).

o Bugfix (GH #184):
    Fix incorrect handling of comments when reading /etc/hosts file by the
    `domain` data source.

o Bugfix (GH #174):
    Fix invalid memory access that could only be encountered by running a
    test suite. Regular Snoopy operation was unaffected by this.


2020-11-30 - Version 2.4.10
---------------------------
o Bugfix (GH #119, #168) - IMPORTANT:
    Fix symbol leaks. Now all symbols that are present in the Snoopy's shared
    .so library and declared as global have `snoopy_` prefix. Previous versions
    of Snoopy were more likely to clash with other libraries' exported sybols,
    causing unexpected program behavior.
    (Thanks to @jibriss for reporting this.)

o Bugfix (GH #145, #170):
    Make exclude_spawns_of inspect PID 1 too. This enables the filter to work
    correctly inside Docker containers where PID 1 is normally not an init
    process.
    (Thanks to @alex-ren for reporting this.)

o Bugfix (GH #117, #118, #169):
    Fix handling of program names with spaces in `exclude_spawns_of` filter.
    (Thanks to @joaquimds for reporting this and to @akwizgran for a PR.)

o Bugfix (GH #160, #163):
    Allow double quotes and backslashes in message format defined
    via `./configure --with-message-format="..."`
    (Thanks to Pascal Trouvin (@ptrouvin @ GH) for the inital PR.)

o Bugfix:
    Fix build tooling to enable successful builds from git on Debian systems.

o Enhancement (GH #113, #164):
    Store the ./configure command used to build the Snoopy and provide access
    to the data via the snoopy_configure_command data source.

o Enhancement (GH #171):
    Migrate from Travis-CI to GitHub Actions, for simpler and faster access
    to PR test results.



2020-11-13 - Version 2.4.9
--------------------------
o Bugfix (#161 @ GitHub):
    Fixed regressions introduced by upgrading inih library in PR #143:
    - Removing surrounding single quotes from ini values stopped working;
    - The ini line length limit was reduced back down to 199 bytes.
    Additionally, line length limit was raised to 1023 bytes.
    (Thanks to @arstercz @ GitHub for pointing this out.)

o Bugfix (#152 @ GitHub):
    Fix datasource_login test to work inside Docker container.
    (Thanks John-Mark Allen (@jmaargh @ GitHub) for the PR.)


2020-10-04 - Version 2.4.8
--------------------------
o Bugfix (#157 @ GitHub): Make Snoopy build with GCC 10.x.
    (Thanks Marcos Fouces (@MarcosFouces @ GitHub) for the report.)
o Bugfix (#151 @ GitHub): Fix incorrect comparison in cmdline.c.
    (Thanks Mark Garrett (@gcsgithub @ GitHub) for the PR.)


2020-10-04 - Version 2.4.7
--------------------------
o Enhancement (#125 @ GitHub): Permit longer message_format in the .ini file.
    (Thanks Miguel Scapolla (@migueloangelo @ GitHub) for the PR.)
o Bugfix (#126 @ GitHub): Fix datasource_rpname.c to correctly handle test suite
    running from tmux.
    (Thanks Lukas Schwaighofer (@lukas227 @ GitHub) for the PR.)
o Bugfix (#122 @ GitHub): Fix build on GCC 7.x.
    (Thanks Alexander F Rødseth (@xyproto @ GitHub) for the PR.)
o Change: Adjust unknown TTY handling (generates a nicer text now).
o Enhancement (#142, #143 @ GitHub): Fix issues reported by GCC 8.x (mainly by
    upgrading the .ini parsing library).
    (Thanks @PaulCombal for reporting this.)
o Change: Adjust unknown TTY handling (generates a nicer text now).
o Bugfix (#146 @ GitHub): Fix the main deployment method, by moving all release
    packages to GitHub.


2016-08-14 - Version 2.4.6
--------------------------
o Bugfix (#106 @ GitHub): fix segmentation faults of Network Manager on
    CentOS 7 when using DHCP address configuration.
    (thanks tkimball83, p64 @ GitHub for reporting it, and jmtysonjr @ GitHub
    for verifying the bugfix)
o Internal: replace ini parsing library iniparser with inih
    (triggered by #106 @ Github)


2016-03-05 - Version 2.4.5
--------------------------
o Bugfix (#102 @ GitHub): fix broken validation of --with-syslog-facility
    configure argument for LOCALx values. Build test updated to prevent
    regressions. (reported by lhmerino @ GitHub)
o Bugfix: filter/only_tty: treat errors as if command does not have a tty
    associated with it
o Bugfix: filter/only_tty: treat errors as if command does not have a tty
    associated with it
o Tests: fix timestamp provider (ms) range test condition (bugfix found at user
    alasdairdc @ GitHub).
o Install (#90 @ GitHub): Add support for installing local Snoopy packages with
    install script. (Suggested by PSKyne@Github)
o Install (#90 @ GitHub): install-snoopy.sh now has a download-only mode.
    (Suggested by PSKyne@github)
o Install: Reenabled 'make check' in install-snoopy.sh. The test that was
    was causing the most grief was datasource_domain test, which is disabled
    now.
o Install (#98 @ GitHub): Add support for bootstrapping git builds on older OS
    releases (i.e. CentOS 6). Package builds are not affected by this.
    This is now done automatically by bootstrap.sh script.
o Infrastructure (#94 @ GitHub): Migrated Travis-CI to container-based builds.
    Builds are not much faster, but their startup is indeed speedier.
o Infrastructure: Added 16 builds to Travis-CI which use random selection of
    ./configure flags. This should ensure valid builds with all possible
    (valid) ./configure flag selections.
o Refactoring: move src/libsnoopy.c/.h contents to more appropriate location:
    src/eventsource/execve_wrapper.c/.h


2015-08-28 - Version 2.4.4
--------------------------
o Thread safety: all remaining strtok() function calls were replaced with their
    thread-safe counterparts - strtok_r().
o Thread safety: all localtime() function calls were replaced with their
    thread-safe counterparts - localtime_r().
o Thread safety: all ttyname() functions were replaced with their thread-safe
    counterparts - ttyname_r().
o Thread safety info: the remaining non-thread-safe functions that are used
    are:
        - getenv()
        - strerror()
    getenv() does not have any thread-safe counterpart, so it was left as it
    was. If anyone uses threaded programs that do lots of execv() calls,
    then these programs should modify environment and execute programs in
    mutexed manner.
    strerror() is used in lib/liblcthw as define, therefore an easy fix is not
    possible. This doubly linked list implementation needs a general overhaul
    anyway.
o RH packaging bugfix: do not fail the installation if directory already exists.
    (Brendan Germain - bcg62@github)
o Feature: added new filter only_tty. Logs only commands associated with a TTY.
    (Jack DeLoach - urq@github)
o Bugfix (#92 @ GitHub): fix false warning about open file descriptors when
    running valgrind.


2015-06-18 - Version 2.4.3
--------------------------
o Build bugfix: include forgotten files in distribution package (version
    detection script, some test files, etc).


2015-06-18 - Version 2.4.2
--------------------------
o Version skipped.


2015-06-18 - Version 2.4.1
--------------------------
o Bugfix: tests/datasource/snoopy_version was failing because regex was untested
    on full-release (non-development/preview) versions. Fixed.


2015-06-18 - Version 2.4.0
--------------------------
o Change: configuration file (snoopy.ini) support is now enabled by default.
o Change: filtering support is now enabled by default.
o Change: Removal of deprecated feature: removed ./configure flag
    --enable-root-only.
    An error message will be emitted by ./configure if this deprecated flag
    is encountered. General filtering should be used instead, like this:
        --enable-filtering --with-filter-chain="only_uid:0".

o Enhancement: EXPERIMENTAL support for thread-safety added.
o Feature: added new datasource snoopy_threads, that returns count of threads
    that Snoopy is currently configured for.

o Feature: added new dummy data source: snoopy_literal. Returns its own
    argument.
o Feature: added new data source: tid (Thread ID).
o Feature: added new data source: tid_kernel (Thread ID, as retured by Linux
    kernel).
o Feature: syslog ident string is now configurable, via ./configure line
    or via snoopy.ini.
o Feature: added two new data sources: hostname and domain.
o Feature: added a new output: devnull - writes to /dev/null black hole.
o Feature: added a new output: devtty - writes to /dev/tty directly.
o Feature: added two new outputs: stderr and stdout.
o Feature: added new data source: snoopy_literal (dummy)
o Feature: Full test suite is now implemented. It contains unit tests
    for every datasource, filter and all outputs that can actually be
    tested (testing syslog output provider is a bit inconvenient, for example).
    Additionally there are combined tests that check Snoopy functionality as
    a whole, as much as this can be done.
    Config file parsing is tested too.
    This test suite is now used at the following occasions:
    - when installing Snoopy via install-snoopy.sh script,
    - when submitting contribution pull request on GitHub,
    - when creating release package.

o Bugfixes: see git history for details.

o Internal feature: created generic argument parser. It should be used by all
    subcomponents that require CSV argument parsing.
o Internal enhancement: iniparser upgraded to version 4.0. Also migrated to git
    submodule.
o Internal enhancement: iniparser migrated to nested autotools subpackage.
o Internal refactoring: make all arguments (that are applicable to be changed)
    to datasources, filters and outputs, constant string pointers.

o Build bugfix: actually halt if some required header file, function or library
    is missing. Before this fix it only displayed "checking for X... no" error
    message and the process went on (not for all resources, but for many).
o Build refactoring: do not build development tools by default
o Build refactoring: now supports --enable-everything configuration flag.
o Build refactoring: optimize configuration process, output relevant settings
    for review.
o Build refactoring: optimized configure.ac to use way less code than before.
    This was achieved by abstracting common stuff into special macros stored
    in build/snoopy.m4.
o Build refactoring: switched to non-verbose build output by default. Use
    'make V=1' to revert to the old (verbose) behaviour.
o Build refactoring: enabled -std=c99 and -pedantic build flags, to catch even more
    potential errors.
o Release process: all release packages are now checked with CI
    provided by Travis-CI.org.
o Release process: all release packages are now checked with Coverity Scan.
o Release process: all release packages are now checked with "make distcheck"
    make target, to ensure proper builds.
o Contribution process: all pull requests are automatically checked by
    Travis-CI.


2015-05-28 - Version 2.3.2
--------------------------
o Bugfix (#73 @ GitHub): fixed installation problem on systems that do not set
    executable flag for shared library files.
    (reported by Evgenii Terechkov - evgkrsk @ GitHub)


2015-05-24 - Version 2.3.1
--------------------------
o Bugfix (#68 @ GitHub): fixed build failure on SLES - mismatching prototype
    in error.c/.h (reported by GitHub user @tparkercbn).


2015-05-11 - Version 2.3.0
--------------------------
o Feature: new data source: datetime (returns current date and time in
    ISO8601 format).
o Feature (#54 @ GitHub): new data sources: timestamp, timestamp_ms and timestamp_us
o Feature (#55 @ GitHub): file output is now configurable with ./configure flag
    --with-default-output=OUTPUT_SPEC.
o Feature (#53 @ GitHub): file output provider implemented. Snoopy is now capable of logging
    directly to file, if filesystem permissions do not prevent it.
o Bugfixes: resolved all nine Coverity bugs (#80899-#80909), covering various
    resource leaks, unchecked string writes etc.
o Bugfixes: resolved six additional coverity bugs (82437-82442)
o Refactoring build process: config file comments now reflect which data
    sources, filters and outputs are available in given Snoopy installation/
    package/build.
o Refactoring build process: all data sources, filters and outputs can now be
    enabled/disabled individually by ./configure flags. This should make Snoopy
    less vulnerable if securing installation by reducing attack surface is
    desired. Each group (data sources, filters and outputs) can also be
    disabled with a single --enable-all-* ./configure flag.
o Refactoring build process: removed all stale files which are copied/symlinked
    by autoreconf; updated makefiles to enable building outside of source tree;
    renamed some outputs to maintain naming consistency; reduced complexity and
    size of configure.ac by abstracting certain functionality into dedicated
    macros; moved as many build-time files as possible from root into
    build/aux/ directory;
o Enhancement: specify in debian build recipe that libsnoopy package is to
    supersed old 'snoopy' package.
    (Contributed by Frederic Mora)
o Refactoring: do not include filtering code if filtering is not enabled on
    ./configure line.
o Refactoring #50 (GitHub): change ./configure flag --enable-filter to
    --enable-filtering, to prepare Snoopy for future changes (per-datasource,
    per-filter and per-output configure flags).
o Bug #49 (GitHub): reset configuration values back to their corresponding
    defaults when running final cleanup. This prevents buffer overflows on
    next Snoopy invocations when config file is not found anymore.
o Enhancement #48: do not include code for config file in the final library
    when config file is not enabled at all (via ./configure argument).
o Feature #45: new filter that excludes Snoopy log entries from certain
    processes.
    (Code contributed by Frederic Mora)
o Bug #44 / Enhancement #42: upgraded iniparser compotent to latest git
    version, the one that was included before was causing problems in
    threaded environments (java).
o Refactoring #41: change term "input provider" to "data source", to more
    accurately reflect what is actually going on in that part of code.
o Enhancement #42: upgraded included iniparser component to latest git version.
    This hopefully resolves issues with threaded processes.
o Repository refactoring: removed all files that are created/copied by
    autotools suite, and added them to gitignore.
o Include documentation in release packages from now on.


2015-04-27 - Version  2.2.8
---------------------------
o Bugfix #39: prevent double freeing of message_format and filter_chain
    variables when snoopy.ini suddenly disappears from filesystem.
    (reported by Ariel Zach)
o Bugfix #39-2: Fix invalid parsing in rpname input provider - check the line
    that is read from /proc/PID/status and verify that it is non-empty and that
    it actually contains colon character before attempting to parse it.
    (reported and initial fix authored by Ariel Zach)
o Bugfix #46: prevent bufffer overflow in cmdline input provider
    (reported by Ariel Zach)
o Bugfix and refactoring: rpname input provider was leaking some memory, and
    it was made more logically structured (variables and if conditions were
    changed to more logical and coherent naming, to align it better with the
    rest of Snoopy code).
o Bugfix #47: Bugfix #39 inadvertently introduced a doublefree bug when
    filter chain was specified in snoopy.ini.
    (reported by Ariel Zach)


2015-03-26 - Version  2.2.7
---------------------------
o Feature: added new input provider %{rpname} - gets root process name
    (submitted by Ariel Zach)


2015-03-06 - Version  2.2.6
---------------------------
o Feature: added new input provider %{env_all} - logs whole environment
o Feature: added new input provider %{pid} - provides process id
o Feature: added new input provider %{ppid} - provides parent process id
o Bugfix: Fixed improper return value checking in all input providers that
    work with literal usernames and groups. This was causing shutdown hangs on
    RH/CentOS 7 systems that use systemd, with additional special conitions:
    - compiled-in message_format must have included these input providers,
    - when only configured in snoopy.ini, they did not trigger this bug.


2015-03-04 - Version  2.2.5
---------------------------
o Bugfix: devlog output provider was not resetting configuration to original
    values after it called socket output provider as its subroutine.
o Bugfix: added support for 'make install DESTDIR=...' in etc/Makefile.am
o Bugfix: fixed installation of snoopy.ini in nonexistent directory


2015-01-27 - Version  2.2.4
---------------------------
o Bugfix: devlog output was not implemented properly, it was missing log
    facility and log level specification. This resulted in Snoopy output
    appearing on user's console, as everything was treated with EMERG
    severity. On CentOS/RH messages of this severity are forwarded to console
    by default.
o Bugfix: Install configuration file with .NEW suffix, and warn the user.


2015-01-27 - Version  2.2.3
---------------------------
o Bugfix: fixed compilation issues on pre 2.09 glibc platforms
    (SOCK_NONBLOCK, SOCK_CLOEXEC missing)


2015-01-20 - Version  2.2.2
---------------------------
o Bugfix: fixed compilation issues on pre 2.12 glibc platforms (getsid)


2015-01-11 - Version  2.2.1
---------------------------
o Feature: added support for configurable output selection
o Feature: added dummy input provider: snoopy_version
o Bugfix: changed default output provider from syslog to devlog (non-blocking
    socket as workaround for systemd's buffered/blocking /dev/log socket)


2015-01-11 - Version  2.2.0
---------------------------
o Never released.


2014-11-08 - Version  2.1.0
---------------------------
o Enhancement: strict checking of ./configure --with-syslog-* values
o Enhancement: enabled configuration of syslog facility and level from
    configuration file


2014-11-07 - Version  2.0.1
---------------------------
o Bugfix: fixed uninitialized pointer in filter/exclude_uid.c and only_uid.c
o Enhancement: prefix all iniparser errors with "SNOOPY " prefix, so it is
    evident where errors are coming from
o Bugfix: changed --with-config-file to --enable-config-file. Having two ways
    to specify where configuration file exists is redundant and confusing.


2014-11-05 - Version  2.0.0
---------------------------
o Feature: Added support for custom message format specification at
    configuration time
o Feature: New input providers:
    - egroup       (thanks Sébastien Gross)
    - env          (thanks Taylor Kimball)
    - eusername    (thanks Sébastien Gross)
    - group        (thanks Sébastien Gross)
    - login        (thanks Sébastien Gross)
    - username     (thanks Sébastien Gross)
    - tty_uid      (thanks Tony Malkowski)
    - tty_username
o Feature: Implemented internal filtering, with the following filters available:
    - exclude_uid
    - only_root
    - only_uid
o Feature: Added optional support for INI configuration file
o Feature: Added envp data to intputdatastorage if execve() is used. Prepared
    for future inputs to consume it.
o Feature: Created snoopy-enable and snoopy-disable system scripts.

o Distro packaging: added debian/ubuntu packaging data (by Sebastien Gross)
o Distro packaging: added rhel/centos package spec file (by Jeremy Brown)

o Refactoring: Separated data gathering into separate functions, to be
    used at will - now they are called "input providers"
o Refactoring: Removed external filtering, to be replaced with internal
    filtering capability in the making
o Refactoring: Removed logging exclusion via prefix, was created for
    exclusion of logging of external filter commands
o Refactoring: switched to autotools completely
o Refactoring: all builds now use -Wall and -Werror
o Refactoring: removed --enable-cwd-logging (superseded by message formatting
    options and input provider)
o Refactoring: Snoopy library is now called libsnoopy.so instead of snoopy.so,
    to conform to autotools syntax
o Refactoring: ./configure: removed many bugs, added proper syntax and error
    messages to help user decide what she wants
o Refactoring: added 'proper' (unified) error handling
o Refactoring: moved input testing to separate executable, which does not get
    installed, but is only intended for development/debugging
o Refactoring: created proper initialization/shutdown methods

o Documentation: added into about writing new input providers
o Bugfix: fixed compilation failure on debian in inputs/cwd.c (thanks Sébastien Gross)
o Bugfix: missing snoopy.ini in distribution tarball (thanks Jeremy Brown)
o Bugfix: When uninstalling, also disable Snoopy (remove from /etc/ld.so.preload).
