  32         <p><a href="http://www.coverity.com/">Coverity</a> is a nice tool to
  33 find problems in C, C++ and Java code using static source code
  34 analysis.  It can detect a lot of different problems, and is very
  35 useful to find memory and locking bugs in the error handling part of
  36 the source.  The company behind it provide
  37 <a href="https://scan.coverity.com/">check of free software projects as
  38 a community service</a>, and many hundred free software projects are
  39 already checked.  A few days ago I decided to have a closer look at
  40 the Coverity system, and discovered that the
  41 <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/">gnash</a> and
  42 <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipmitool/">ipmitool</a>
  43 projects I am involved with was already registered.  But these are
  44 fairly big, and I would also like to have a small and easy project to
  45 check, and decided to <a href="http://scan.coverity.com/projects/1179">request
  46 checking of the chrpath project</a>.  It was
  47 added to the checker and discovered seven potential defects.  Six of
  48 these were real, mostly resource "leak" when the program detected an
  49 error.  Nothing serious, as the resources would be released a fraction
  50 of a second later when the program exited because of the error, but it
  51 is nice to do it right in case the source of the program some time in
  52 the future end up in a library.  Having fixed all defects and added
  53 <a href="https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/chrpath-devel">a
  54 mailing list for the chrpath developers</a>, I decided it was time to
  55 publish a new release.  These are the release notes:</p>
  56
  57 <p>New in 0.16 released 2014-01-14:</p>
  58
  59 <ul>
  60
  61   <li>Fixed all minor bugs discovered by Coverity.</li>
  62   <li>Updated config.sub and config.guess from the GNU project.</li>
  63   <li>Mention new project mailing list in the documentation.</li>
  64
  65 </ul>
  66
  67 <p>You can
  68 <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31052">download the
  69 new version 0.16 from alioth</a>.  Please let us know via the Alioth
  70 project if something is wrong with the new release.  The test suite
  71 did not discover any old errors, so if you find a new one, please also
  72 include a test suite check.</p>
