New release: hipercontracer-2.2.9. This update contains build script improvements, as well as improved Solaris support.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.8. This version provides some build improvements and fixes, particularly for NetBSD, and OpenBSD. Also, HiPerConTracer can run under Solaris now.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.7. This version provides minor improvements of the database setup example, including a replacement of the unmaintained Python netifaces package by psutil.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.6. This update provides a CMake build fix for the libpqxx 8.0 library handling.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.5. This update provides some CMake build improvements, with better hints to install missing dependencies.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.4. This update provides build fixes for the Alpine Linux support.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.3. This version provides some build improvements, including builds for NetBSD, OpenBSD, and MacOS.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.2.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.1. This version splits the database-related functions into an own library, avoiding linking of unnecessary database backend libraries when not needed.
New release: hipercontracer-2.2.0. This release provides some improvements of manpages and shell completions. Also, all tools now consistently provide an option -v/--version to print the version. This causes a small incompatibility with former usage of -v as short form of --verbose in some tools, which had to be changed to -w. The database example and test scripts now utilise upstream System-Tools instead of using copies of the X.509-Tools scripts for TLS configuration.
