   used to track the addition of new files


== 2.8: March 15, 2014

 - Iteratively check for new file system events using a 1ms timeout after a file
   has been renamed or removed in order to prevent the utility from being
   executed before successive changes from a version control system have
   completed
 - Regression tests use Vim and Mercurial
 - Timing on regression tests has been tightened to only support real hardware;
   they are not expected to pass in emulated environments

   with the backup option in Vim

 - Restore full 50ms period for consolidating events on Linux. Required for the
   Geany editor
 - Remove use of setproctitle(3), no plans to implement this on Linux and MacOS
   This also eliminates use of the 3-clause license
 - New feature: the first occurrence of '{}' on the command line will be
   replaced with the name of the first file under watch
 - Set PAGER to an absolute path (/bin/cat)
 - Prevent interactive utilities from paging output

   current login class

   files are provided as input

== 2.1: July 01, 2013

 - Zero-dependency build on Linux using built-in compatibility layer
 - Add poll with optional timeout in order to prevent change events from
   accumulating while running a command
 - Invalidate file->fd after inotify event is closed. Do not respond to
   IN_MOVE_SELF since this event only occurs on Linux NFS mounts
 - Optional build on GNU/Linux using external compatibility libraries libkqueue
   and libbsd
 - Fix bug in finding the correct filename to write to a FIFO
 - Correct build on MacOS
