+recutils (1.5-1)
+
+ * New upstream release
+ - Version 1.5 (13 January 2012)
+ - The utilities will now ask interactively for a password
+ if it was not provided with the -s command line option.
+ This avoids security problems related to shell history files.
+ - Support for octal and hexadecimal numbers has been added.
+ They can be used in both the records and selection expressions.
+ - It is now possible to select a given number of random records
+ in many of the utilities using the -m command line option.
+ - The -n option now accepts a list of indexes, supporting ranges.
+ - The new -U (uniq) option for recsel removes duplicated fields
+ in the output records.
+ - The new -q option allows to quickly search for the desired record
+ without having to provide a complete selection expression.
+ - Auto generated fields are now considered integers by default.
+ This avoids repetitive patterns involving %auto and %type.
+ - Tab characters are now allowed in blank lines betwwen records.
+ - The API in rec.h is now better documented with comments, and improved.
+ - recfix now exits with an error status
+ if there is a parse error in some input file.
+ - The usage of the internal data structures has been _vastly_ improved,
+ resulting in a much faster operation.
+ - Internal cleanup and code factorization.
+ - Many, many, many bug fixes :D
+ * PKGBUILD
+ - commenting out "makedepends=(mdbtools)" for now
+ because the current "mdbtools" package from the AUR
+ is missing 'MDB_NOFLAGS' in the "mdbtools.h" file.
+ - all other dependencies to compile and run recutils
+ are already satisfied through the 'base' group.
+ * Added some examples
