<h1> What has changed in execline </h1>

<h2> in 2.7.0.0 </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <a href="//skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a>
dependency bumped to 2.9.4.0. </li>
 <li> New <tt>-e</tt> option to <a href="forstdin.html">forstdin</a>. </li>
 <li> New <tt>default</tt> directive to <a href="trap.html">trap</a>,
replacing the <tt>timeout</tt> one, which was ill-suited to that program. </li>
</ul>

<h2> in 2.6.1.1 </h2>

<ul>
 <li> <a href="//skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a>
dependency bumped to 2.9.3.0. </li>
</ul>

<h2> in 2.6.1.0 </h2>

<ul>
 <li> The <a href="envfile.html">envfile</a> format has changed.
It is now more expressive and largely compatible with systemd's
<a href="https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.exec.html#EnvironmentFile=">EnvironmentFile</a>
format. The new format is a superset of the old one, so old
envfiles should still be understood by the new binary. </li>
</ul>

<h2> in 2.6.0.2 </h2>

<ul>
 <li> No functional changes </li>
</ul>

<h2> in 2.6.0.1 </h2>

 <li> <tt>umask</tt> has been renamed <a href="execline-umask.html">execline-umask</a>. </li>
 <li> At installation time, <tt>cd</tt> and <tt>umask</tt> symbolic links are created,
pointing to either the <tt>posix-</tt> or <tt>execline-</tt> -prefixed version of the
commands, depending on whether the <tt>--enable-pedantic-posix</tt> option
was given or not. </li>
</ul>
