Good day,

CFEngine Community 3.4.0beta1 is now available for testing.

New features:

- Implement inheritance of local classes by bundles called using
   "usebundle". By default classes are not inherited. See the
   examples/unit_inherit.cf for an example.

Misc:

- Support for the following outdated platforms and corresponding
   classes has been removed. De facto those platforms were
   unsupported for a long time, as CFEngine codebase uses C99
   language features unavailable on old platforms:

    - SunOS 3.x (sun3)
    - SunOS 4.x (sun4)
    - Ultrix (ultrix)
    - DEC OSF/1 AXP (osf)
    - Digital UNIX (digital)
    - Sony NEWS (newsos)
    - 4.3BSD (bsd4_3)
    - IRIX (irix, irix4, irix64)
    - IBM Academic Operating System (aos)
    - BSD/OS / BSDi / BSD/386 (bsdos)
    - NeXTSTEP (nextstep)
    - GNU Hurd (gnu)
    - NEC UX/4800 (ux4800)

- (Old news) Since 3.3.0 the layout of CFEngine Community packages
   has changed slightly.

   cf-* binaries have been moved to /var/cfengine/bin, due to the
   following reasons:

    - cf-* binaries are linked to libraries installed to
      /var/cfengine/lib, so placing binaries in /usr/local/sbin does not
      increase reliability of the CFEngine,

    - keeping whole CFEngine under single prefix (/var/cfengine)
      makes packaging simpler,

    - it matches the layout of CFEngine Enterprise packages.

    Please adjust your policies (the recommended ways to deal with
    the move are either to adjust $PATH to include /var/cfengine or to
    create symlinks in /usr/local/sbin in case you are relying on
    binaries to be available in $PATH).

- Workdir location is properly changed if --prefix or --enable-fhs
   options are supplied to configure (Mantis #1195).

- Added check for broken libmysqlclient implementations (Mantis #1217).

- Standard library is updated from COPBL repository.

Bugfixes:

- Compatibility fixes for HP-UX, Solaris (Mantis #1185, Mantis #1177, Mantis
   #1109).
- Fixed broken socklen_t configure check under OpenBSD (Mantis #1168).
- Fixed hang in cf-promises under OpenBSD (Mantis #1113).
- Fixed endless loop in evaluating "$()" construct (Mantis #1023).
- Fixed memory leak in cf-execd occuring if cf-monitord is also running on the
   system.
