[python-daemon-announce] [RELEASE] ‘python-daemon’ version 1.5.7 released

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

I am pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.7 of the
‘python-daemon’ library.

The current release is always available at
<URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/>.


Significant changes since the previous version
==============================================

* Declare support explicitly for Python 2 only.

* Document the security impact and rationale of the default umask.

* Migrate the test suite to use maintained, current libraries
  (‘unittest2’, ‘mock’, ‘testtools’, ‘testscenarios’). Drop
  dependencies on obsolete libraries.

* Include test suite with source distribution.

* Add a hacking guide for developers.

* Multiple changes to prepare for Python 3 migration.


What is the ‘python-daemon’ library?
====================================

‘python-daemon’ is a Python library to implement a well-behaved Unix
daemon process.
