This release fixes several bugs with the (experimental) zsync source; working around zsync bugs with temporary directories, and changes the internal timestamp format to use Python's time.struct_time instead of epoch time_t, improves logging and status reporting, and fixes some bugs handling automount maps.

Incompatible Changes

• Python 2.3 is no longer supported.

New Features

• Netgroup membership is sorted, to minimise diffs on output.
• The exit code is now printed in the exit log message, as well as the total runtime.
• The log format is changed to show more debugging info on stdout when nsscache is run from a terminal.
• nsscache status output is now configurable with python string formatting through --template and --automount-template flags.
• Relative paths in the config file are now handled.

Bug Fixes

• Updates do not abort if one map fails, the remaining maps are attempted as well.
• Bad LDAP memberNisNetgroup implementations that mimic the nisNetGroupTriple are now handled so that duplicates are not created.
• Fix a bug handling auto.master for automounts if instructed to not fetch auto.master.
• Unknown parts of auto.master are now ignored, rather than crash nsscache.
• A change in the way bdb-4.8 handles new database files causes it to throw a tantrum if a zero length file exists, so now we remove the tempfile we create and let bdb create it. This opens a race condition, but if you're using bdb caches you have many other problems too. Upgrade to the cache NSS backend!
• We create temporary files in the same path as the destination file, to prevent problems trying to rename across filesystems, such as if /tmp is on a ramdisk.
