    Version 0.1.11 2018-10-30

    • portability: remove issues associated with AC_FUNC_MALLOC
      This configure.ac macro is known to cause issues and not provide real
      benefit. Thus many projects have removed it, as we have for most of
      the rsyslog projects. libestr seemed to have overlooked.
      This came up when troubleshooting issues on IBM AIX.
    • make build on AIX
      Thanks to github user purnimam1 for the patch
    • bugfix: es_str2num mishandling empty strings
      If es_str2num() receives an empty string, misadressing happens.
      Under extreme conditions, this theoretically can lead to a segfault.
      Thanks to Jan Gerhards for the patch.

  • libestr 0.1.7

    libestr 0.1.7 has been released.

    This release offers a critical bugfix.

    Version 0.1.7 2013-10-10

    • bugfix: invalid comparison results for different-length strings
      es_strcmp, es_strcasecmp, es_strbufcmp, and es_strcasebufcmp returned incorrect results if the first string was smaller than the second. In that case, the first string was always assumed to be lexially lower than the second. If the second string was larger than the first, the same issue occured. This did not affect equal comparisons, but LT/GT checks lead to invalid result, with potentially harsh consequences (e.g. qsort() did not work properly). This bug is present for a very long time, potentially down to the initial implementation of libestr.
