 Log Message:
 Update to 0.11.8.1.
 Submitted by Alexander Mayr (maintainer) in PR 29349.
 
 Changes between 0.11.7 - 0.11.8:
 
 giftd 0.11.8:
 
    * Shares are now keyed by pathname instead of by hash. (Hashes
      weren't guaranteed to exist, could collide for identical files,
      and no lookup function was provided in any case).
 
    * Handle syncing properly.  Share objects are no longer freed
      without letting plugins know, and plugin-specific data is no
      longer leaked.
 
    * ImageMagick support removed and replaced by Jef Pokanzer's
      image_size.  This fixes a multitude of problems related to
      dependencies, performance, stability and security.
 
    * The --index-only option no longer tries to bind to the interface
      port.
 
    * Avoid aborting on transfers >=2Gb.  Such transfers still don't
      work, though, but this is a stdio limitation and cannot be portably
      solved.
 
 giftd 0.11.7:
 
    * Filter LOCATE requests so that they are not delivered to protocol plugins
      which do not have a registered hash handler for the hash type being
      searched for.
 
    * Preserve extension when renaming downloaded files because the file name
      is already used.
 
    * Removed requirement for state files having leading dot on Windows.
 
    * Fixed bug which prevented completed dir from being shared if no sharing
      root was set.
 
    * Added meta data extraction for bittorrent files.
 
    * Added check to not share incoming dir if not specifically allowed by
      config.
 
    * Fixed some bugs which could lead to shares db corruption.
 
    * Added saving of download paused state across restarts.
 
 libgift 0.11.8.1:
 
    * Fixed a serious bug in TCP buffering introduced in 0.11.8.
 
 libgift 0.11.8:
 
    * The SI suffixes k, M and G multiply configuration values by 2^10,
      2^20 and 2^30 respectively.
 
 libgift 0.11.7:
 
    * Fixed VA_COPY bug in strobj which led to crashes on AMD64 (possibly other
      platforms?)
 
    * Fixed fd leak in platform_child() implementation.
 
    * Fixed a bug where we possibly send SIGTERM to random processes
      in platform_cleanup().
 
 libgiftproto 0.11.8:
 
    * Synchronized the version to match giftd.
 
 libgiftproto 0.11.7:
 
    * Synchronized the version to match giftd.
