The changes are | Version 0.1.11 2018-10-30 | | - portability: remove issues associated with AC_FUNC_MALLOC | This configure.ac macro is known to cause issues and not provide real | benefit. Thus many projects have removed it, as we have for most of | the rsyslog projects. libestr seemed to have overlooked. | This came up when troubleshooting issues on IBM AIX. | - make build on AIX | Thanks to github user purnimam1 for the patch | - bugfix: es_str2num mishandling empty strings | If es_str2num() receives an empty string, misadressing happens. | Under extreme conditions, this theoretically can lead to a segfault. | Thanks to Jan Gerhards for the patch. | closes https://github.com/rsyslog/libestr/issues/10 | - CI/Travis: now also test on osX The bugfix alone seems to make it worthwhile. Pierre, do you maybe need some support in packaging this? Cheers, Flo
