API breaking changes: 
* Removed dwg_obj_proxy_get_reactors(), use dwg_obj_get_reactors() instead. 
* Renamed SORTENTSTABLE.owner_handle to SORTENTSTABLE.owner_dict. 
* Renamed all -as-rNNNN program options to --as-rNNNN. 

Other newsworthy changes: 
* Removed all unused type-specific reactors and xdicobjhandle fields, 
use the generic object and entity fields instead. 
* Added signed BITCODE_RLd and BITCODE_BLd (int32_t) types. 
* Added unknown_bits field to all UNSTABLE/DEBUGGING classes. 
* Custom CFLAGS are now honored. 
* Support for GNU parallel and coreutils timeout logfile and picat processing. 

Important bugfixes: 
* Fixed previously empty strings for r2007+ for some objects and entities 
(#34). 
* Fixed r2010+ picture size calculation (DXF 160, 310), leading to wrong entity 
offsets. 
* Added more checks for unstable objects: empty handles, controls, overflows, 
isnan. 
* Fixed some common_entity_data, mostly with non-indexed colors and gradient 
filled HATCH 
(#27, #28, #31) 
* Fixed some proper relative handles, which were previously treated as NULL 
handle. 
* Fixed writing TV strings, now the length includes the final \0 char. 
* Fixed the initial minimal hash size, fixing an endless loop on very small 
(truncated) DWG's (<1000 bytes). 
* Much less memory leaks. 
* Improved free, i.e. no more double free with EED data. (#33) 
* Better perl bindings build support on Windows, prefer local dwg.h over 
installed dwg.h on testing (#29). 
* Fixed dejagnu compilation on C11 by using -fgnu89-inline (#2) 

New features: 
* Added unstable support for the objects ASSOCDEPENDENCY, 
ASSOCPLANESURFACEACTIONBODY, 
DBCOLOR, DIMASSOC, DYNAMICBLOCKPURGEPREVENTER, HELIX, LIGHT, PERSSUBENTMANAGER, 
UNDERLAYDEFINITION and the entities MULTILEADER, UNDERLAY. 
* Added getopt_long() support to all programs, position independent options. 
* Implemented examples/unknown to find field layouts of unknown objects. 
With bd and bits helpers to decode unknowns. 
Now with a http://picat-lang.org helper. See also HACKING and savannah News. 
* Implemented parsing ACIS version 2 to the binary SAB format. 
* Added all missing dwg_object_to_OBJECT() functions for objects. 
* Added dwg_ent_minsert_set_num_cols(), dwg_ent_minsert_set_num_rows() 
* Added --disable-dxf, --enable--debug configure options. With debug there are 
many 
more unstable objects available. 
* Added libredwg.pc (#30) 
* Added valgrind supressions for known darwin/glibc leaks. 
* Changed and clarified the semver version numbering on development checkouts 
with 
major.minor[.patch[.build.nonmastercommits-gittag]]. See HACKING.

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the 
.sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file 
and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: 

gpg --verify libredwg-0.6.tar.gz.sig 

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, 
then run this command to import it: 

gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys B4F63339E65D6414 

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
