GNU rush-1.7 released

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce the release 1.7 of GNU Rush.

GNU Rush is a restricted user shell, designed for sites providing
limited remote access to their resources.  See below for a list
of user-visible changes in this release.

[*] You can use either of the above signature files 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 rush-1.7.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 55D0C732

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.63
  Automake 1.11.1
  Libtool 2.2.7a
  Gnulib v0.0-3896-gabe9c75

Noteworthy changes in this release:

* New configuration statements `acct-umask', `acct-dir-mode', `acct-file-mode'

These statements set the value of umask used when accessing accounting
database files, and permissions for the accounting directory and
database files, correspondingly.

* Conditions `uid' and `gid' accept symbolic user/group names as argument.

Both conditions now accept symbolic as well as numeric arguments,
e.g.:

  uid 1300
  uid smith
  uid < smith
  git != 500

* The `newgrp' command

The `newgrp' command changes the current group ID to the one given as
its argument, which must be either a numeric GID or a name of an
existing group.

* Default regex flags affect the `transform' statement.

* New translations

Dutch, by Koen Torfs.
Vietnamese, by Clytie Siddall.

* Bugfixes
** Fix memory allocation in make_file_name (puszcza#127).
** Fix handling of numeric options in `rushlast'.
** A single fall-through rule caused infinite loop (puszcza#127#comment7).
** Accounting mode is now off by default, as described in the documentation.

Regards,
Sergey
