+WIP

+
+* The <<conf:,configuration file parser>> has been improved:
+** Multiple instances of the configuration parser are supported.
+** *Incompatible:* As there may be more instances, we can no longer use
+ global variables to control the configuration system. In particular,
+ `cf_need_journal` and `cf_pool` variables have been replaced by
+ functions <<conf:fun_cf_set_journalling,`cf_set_journalling()`>> and
+ <<conf:fun_cf_get_pool,`cf_get_pool()`>>.
+** *Incompatible:* Loading of configuration files has been decoupled from
+ the getopt wrapper, so you might need to include `conf.h` for functions
+ which were previously declared in `getopt.h`.
+** New functions have been added:
+ <<conf:fun_cf_open_group,`cf_open_group()`>>,
+ <<conf:fun_cf_close_group,`cf_close_group()`>>, and
+ <<conf:fun_cf_revert,`cf_revert()`>>.
+* <<daemon:,Daemon helpers>> have been added including a new `daemon-control`
+ utility. The old `daemon-helper` utility has been obsoleted and it is not
+ compiled by default.
+* <<signal:,Signal helpers>> for translation between signal names and numbers
+ have been added.
