* Sat Aug 26 2011 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 3.1~dev
- A snap release mainly to get some scons recipe cleanups out the
- door. Parallelized builds now work. Small but fatal problems with
- reconfigure=no, netfeed=no and sock_export=no builds have been
- fixed. Build recipe ported for Darwin, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. libgps
- now brings -lm with it. One old bug fixed (code was previously present
- but broken): Under Linux, gpsd will refrain from opening serial or
- USB devices that another process has open, avoiding potential
- problems with class FF USB devices opened by other programs. One
- new bug fix: we now use an atof() implementation that ignores
- locale, avoiding problems where decimal point is a comma. One new
- feature: Change -N semantics so it only suppresses backgrounding;
- privileges are now dropped as in normal background operation.
+ The Irene release, rocking you like a hurricane and brought to you

+ and sock_export=no builds have been fixed. Build recipe ported for
+ Fedora, Darwin, FreeBSD and OpenBSD. libgps now brings -lm with it
+ on systems with implicit linking. One old bug fixed (code was
