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