9 # got-portable 0.92 (2023-08-29)
11 * Changes from got-0.92
13 This release also introduces 'gotd', which is got's server implementation. By
14 extension, other tools are also introduced to work with gotd, and they are:
20 For more information about gotd, see gotd(8), as well as the above command man
21 pages where necessary. Note that gotd's portable implementation uses chroot()
22 to ensure some separation; this still requires the main gotd binary to run as
25 To enable gotd and the corresponding other tools which work with it, you must
26 pass the '--enable-gotd' ./configure flag.
28 Further installation instructions can be found in the README.portable file in
29 the root directory of the project.

70 There's been a tonne of -portable-specific changes in this release which aim
71 to make portability easier across the supported systems. In particular,
72 there's been a lot of header cleanups, and now that -portable is using
73 config.h, this has allowed dependencies to be split out, so that ncurses is
74 only linked where required (tog). This should allow for multipacking where
77 There have also been some great improvements to regress (which is the test
78 suite) to remove GNU-specific wrappers for date(1), sed(1), ln(1).
80 There's too many commits to list here, but for the specifics, see the
81 differences between '0.84.1..0.85'.
83 Thanks in particular to Christian "naddy" Weisgerber for his help with this
84 work, and this -portable release.

132 # got-portable 0.75.1 (2022-09-13)
134 This is a bug-fix -portable release to address the following:
136 * portable: macos: look for GNU Bison in more places, based on whether brew or
137 MacPorts is in use, and failing to find Bison that way, look in a few
138 hard-coded but likely locations.
139 * portable: remove compat sys/queue.h -- this now makes libbsd a core
140 dependency on those systems which require it.

145 * portable: improve <sys/queue.h> inclusion

162 similar to OpenBSD's pledge() syscall.
163 * Some portable work has taken place, but these have been merged upstream and

174 # got-portable 0.69 (2022-04-24)

177 this therefore implies -portable can build on muscl as well as glibc.

179 Landlock by using the correct header file.
180 * portable: added SipHash as a -portable implementation.
