  stop the tests on first failure

31. By Arthur de Jong on 2014-06-08

* upload to unstable
* new upstream release:
  - also handle password policy information on BIND failure (this makes it
    possible to distinguish between a wrong password and an expired
    password)
  - fix mapping the member attribute to an empty string
  - any buffers that may have held passwords are cleared before the memory
    is released
  - increase buffer size for passwords to support extremely long passwords
    (thanks ushi)
  - increase buffer size for DN to support very long names or names with
    non-ASCII characters
  - log an error in almost all places where a defined buffer is not large
    enough to hold the provided data instead of just (sometimes silently)
    failing
  - logging improvements (start-up problems, login failures)
* add signature checking option to watch file
* add a debian/upstream/metadata file

30. By Arthur de Jong on 2014-03-16

* new upstream release:
  - implement an -n switch to not daemonise (by Caleb Callaway)
  - increase password value buffer size (by Bersl)
  - fix for pwdLastSet attribute value handling (thanks Joshua Shire)
  - fix buffer overflow on interrupted read that is hard to trigger (thanks
    John Sullivan)
  - fix a possible crash in the NSS module when retrieving large networks
    entries (thanks Lukas Slebodnik)
  - avoid more broken pipe errors by using a low timeout when aborting reading
    requested information from nslcd (thanks John Sullivan)
  - only log broken pipe errors in debugging mode
  - ignore SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for future compatibility
* drop implement-nofork.patch which is part of 0.8.14
* upgrade to standards-version 3.9.5 (no changes needed)

29. By Arthur de Jong on 2013-10-17

* implement-nofork.patch: introduce a -n, --nofork option that skips the
  daemonising step on start-up (this is related to Ubuntu bug 806761 and
  may be required to get nslcd working with upstart)
* add init script dependency on $network to ensure that network is up
  before starting nslcd (closes: #726435)
* clean generated manual pages to allow the package to be built tice in
  a row

  from the configuration file by forcefully overwriting debconf values
  from nslcd.conf and not overwriting debconf values when reading other
  configuration files (closes: #717063)

27. By Arthur de Jong on 2013-05-05

    option
  - return NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN on zero-length (but not-NULL) buffer (thanks
    Jakub Hrozek)

  version
* updated Turkish debconf translation by Atila KOÇ (closes: #701067)
