Bugfix release 1.7

Fixes a single bug in stinit parsing of invalid definitions. This is a trivial bug, and only affects config files manually installed by root, so the impact should be minimal.

The bug also does not appear on amd64/x86, but (in Debian) was only triggered (as undefined behaviour) on mips64el, arm64 and s390x, likely due to different platform behaviour.

Bugfix release 1.6

This is bugfix release agains 1.5. In between 1.4 and 1.5, the "make check" target was migrated to using
shelltest, but the make dist and distcheck targets were no, so the built archive was actually not. This only fixes that and has no functional code changes from 1.5.

Release 1.5

Trivial release:

• add IBM 3590 B/E format to tape densities table (Chris Dinneen).

Thanks!

Minor improvements and code fixes

Small bugfixes and improvements release:

• show default tape device in usage output (Iustin Pop).
• improve parsing of the stinit.def configuration file to detect and
  flag some of the possible errors, and add tests to prevent
  regressions (Iustin Pop).
• add LTO-8 (hrchu) and LTO-7 formatted as M8 (Iustin Pop) density
  codes.
• internal code improvements for issues flagged by Coverity scan
  warnings (Gris Ge).
• add bash auto-completion file (Paweł Marciniak).
• don't strip anymore binaries on installation, as nowadays this is
  the job of package managers (Dan Horák).

Thanks to all the contributors!

Release version 1.3

Small bugfixes and improvements:

• add more density codes (Kai Mäkisara)
• check for overflow when using k, M or G suffixes (Kai Mäkisara)
• allow negative argument for mkpartition, supported by Linux 4.6 and
  later (Kai Mäkisara)
• fix compilation with musl libc (Felix Janda)
• allow configuring the default tape device and installation paths (e.g. /bin
  vs. /usr/bin) at build/install time (Iustin Pop)
• code cleanups from the SUSE package (Alexey Svistunov)
• update the supplied example file (Alexey Svistunov)
• fix config file parsing bug in stinit (Iustin Pop)

Release version 1.2

This a mostly a cleanup release after many years of no updates,
integrating pending fixes and distribution patches from Debian and
RedHat, and a change of maintainership:

• many updates to density codes (SDLT, LTO 5,6 and 7, etc.) (various
  people)
• multiple man page updates (various people)
• improve default tape device handling in mt: check that it actually
  is a character device, in order to show better error messages when
  /dev/tape is a different type (e.g. directory when using udev)
• small bug fix in stinit in parsing the input file (David Binderman)
• improve build system by allowing easier customisation of build flags
  and installation directory (via DESTDIR, not prefix) and by
  sanitising the creation of the dist archive (Iustin Pop)
• sanitise the source code to get rid of GCC warnings (Jan Christoph
  Nordholz, Iustin Pop)
• add stshowoptions alias to stshowopt (Ivo De Decker)
• expand the provided stinit.def.examples file (Suggested by
  Ralf-Peter Rohbeck)
• improve the --help output of stinit (Dan Horák)
• change of maintainership to Iustin Pop [email protected]
