+Title: New chrpath release 0.16

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