--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

== Version 2.17.2 ==

* Fixes were made for fakechroot(1) command with -h option.
* The path for function chroot(2) is sanitized so it works correctly when path is ended with /.
* The make -n test was fixed and doesn't call any command.

== Version 2.17.1 ==

* The fakechroot(1) command runs proper wrapper rather than original command, if it is listed on FAKECHROOT_CMD_SUBST variable.
* Fixes were made for chroot(8) wrapper. It scanned /etc/ld.so.conf incorrectly and now enters to physical path, avoiding symlinks.
* The chroot(2) function allows to use more than 2048 bytes for LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

== Version 2.17 ==

* The FAKECHROOT_ELFLOADER environment variable changes the default dynamic linker. The fakechroot script provides --elfloader option.
* The FAKECHROOT_EXCLUDE_PATH environment variable overrides the default settings.
* The ldd(1) wrapper can work if overriden with FAKECHROOT_CMD_SUBST environment variable.
* New env(1) wrapper was added. It preserves fakechroot environment even for --ignore-environment option.
* The special environment none means that no environment settings are loaded at all.
* The function setenv(3) and unsetenv(3) was reimplemented, to prevent problems with binaries which brings own implementation of these functions.
* New function clearenv(3) was added. It preserves fakechroot environment.
* It is safe to use relative paths which won't escape from fake chroot.
* Fixes were made for readline(2) function if destination path is similar to FAKECHROOT_PATH.
* Fixes were made for mktemp(3) function if used on a path in FAKECHROOT_EXCLUDE_PATHS.
* The _xftw64(glibc) function is reenabled. It had wrong wrapper.
* Fixes were made for __realpath_chk(glibc) function when __chk_fail function is missing.
* New functions mkostemp(3), mkostemp64(3), mkostemps(3), mkostemps64(3), mkstemps(3) and mkstemps64(3) were implemented. It fixes sed -i command.

== Version 2.16 ==

* The fakechroot script loads additional environment settings from configuration directory (--config-dir option). * * By default additional settings are provided for chroot(8) and debootstrap(8) commands.
* Wrapped chroot(8) command loads ld.so.conf paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
* The debootstrap(8) command works with default, buildd and minbase variants.
* Fixes were made for getpeeraddr(3) and getsockaddr(3) functions. lwp-request command is working correctly.

== Version 2.15 ==

* New function faccessat(2) was added. It fixes test -r command. Thanks to Johannes Schauer.
* The popen(3) function were reimplemented based on OpenBSD source to prevent some coredumps with newer GNU C Library.

== Version 2.14 ==

* The source code was refactored: all functions was moved to separated files.
* The opendir(3) function is compiled only if it doesn't call other function internally. It fixes opendir(3), fts_open(3) and ftw(3) functions.
* The fts_*(3) functions were reimplemented based on OpenBSD source.
* The ftw_*(3) functions were reimplemented based on GNU C Library source.
* The __opendir2(3) function was reimplemented based on FreeBSD source.
* Fixes were made for older GNU C Library and for cross-compiling environment.

== Version 2.13.1 ==

* Fixes were made for older GNU C Library.

== Version 2.13 ==

* Fixes were made for realpath(3) and ftw(3) functions. apt-ftparchive command currently is working.
* Fixes were made for canonicalize_file_name(3), ftw64(3), nftw(3) and nftw64(3) functions.
* New functions fts_children(3) and fts_read(3) were added.
* Lazy dynamic symbol loading was implemented. Thanks to Alexander Shishkin.
* Fixed bug when FAKECHROOT_EXCLUDE_PATH list was sometimes ignored.
* All source code is now on LGPL license again.

== Version 2.12 ==

* New function execlp(3). Thanks to Robert Spanton.
* New functions statfs(2) and statvfs(2). Thanks to Paweł Stawicki.
* Better support for GNU/kFreeBSD was made.

== Version 2.11 ==

* Fixes were made for getpeername(2) and getsockname(2) functions. host 127.0.0.1 command currently is working. Thanks to Daniel Tschan.
* Fixes were made for canonicalize_file_name(3) function. man-db command currently is working.
* New functions __*_chk(3) were added for GNU libc with fortify level > 0.
* New environment variable FAKECHROOT_AF_UNIX_PATH defines an optional prefix for unix sockets.
* Better support for FreeBSD was made.
* Autoconf scripts were refactored.
* More test units were added.

== Version 2.10 ==

* Handle properly GNU libc open(2), open64(2), openat(2) and openat64(2) inline functions.
* Compatibility were improved for scandir(3) and scandir64(3) functions on the latest GNU libc.
* Fixed lstat(2) function returns correct st_size. Thanks to Daniel Baumann.
* Fixed readlink(2) function. Correctly truncates content if buffer is too small.
* Fixed undefined symbol: rpl_malloc error for compiled 32-bit library on 64-bit architecture by dropping AC_FUNC_MALLOC in configure.ac.
* Fixed chroot(2) function for path which contains dot character. Thanks to Robie Basak.
* New function utimensat(2) fixes cp command on Debian sid.
* New functions linkat(2), mknodat(2), mkfifoat(2), readlinkat(2) and symlinkat(2).
* New functions popen(3) and system(3) for GNU libc.
dpkg-shlibdeps(1) works again because cd $FAKECHROOT_BASE does not change current working directory to root directory.
* New FAKECHROOT_CMD_SUBST environment variable handles a list of substituted commands. Thanks to Richard W.M. Jones.
