74 # got-portable 0.92 (2023-08-29)
76 * Changes from got-0.92
78 This release also introduces 'gotd', which is got's server implementation. By
79 extension, other tools are also introduced to work with gotd, and they are:
85 For more information about gotd, see gotd(8), as well as the above command man
86 pages where necessary. Note that gotd's portable implementation uses chroot()
87 to ensure some separation; this still requires the main gotd binary to run as
90 To enable gotd and the corresponding other tools which work with it, you must
91 pass the '--enable-gotd' ./configure flag.
93 Further installation instructions can be found in the README.portable file in
94 the root directory of the project.
96 # got-portable 0.91 (2023-07-19)

131 # got-portable 0.85 (2023-03-08)
133 * Changes from got-0.85.
135 There's been a tonne of -portable-specific changes in this release which aim
136 to make portability easier across the supported systems. In particular,
137 there's been a lot of header cleanups, and now that -portable is using
138 config.h, this has allowed dependencies to be split out, so that ncurses is
139 only linked where required (tog). This should allow for multipacking where
142 There have also been some great improvements to regress (which is the test
143 suite) to remove GNU-specific wrappers for date(1), sed(1), ln(1).
145 There's too many commits to list here, but for the specifics, see the
146 differences between '0.84.1..0.85'.
148 Thanks in particular to Christian "naddy" Weisgerber for his help with this
149 work, and this -portable release.

197 # got-portable 0.75.1 (2022-09-13)
199 This is a bug-fix -portable release to address the following:
201 * portable: macos: look for GNU Bison in more places, based on whether brew or
202 MacPorts is in use, and failing to find Bison that way, look in a few
203 hard-coded but likely locations.

210 * portable: improve <sys/queue.h> inclusion

239 # got-portable 0.69 (2022-04-24)
