Version 0.19 (2025-04-05)
    * BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
        - switch from libmhash to libnettle
        - semantic change of unrestricted negative rules (!<regex>): The
          children and sub-directories of matching directories are no longer
          ignored by default but recursed into and only ignored if they also
          match the regular expression. This makes the behaviour consistent
          with restricted (recursive) negative rules. Use the new non-recursive
          negative rules (-<regex>) to always ignore children and
          sub-directories of matched directories.
        - 'database' config option is no longer supported, use
          'database_in' instead
        - 'summarize_changes' config option is no longer supported, use
          'report_summarize_changes' instead
        - 'grouped' config option is no longer supported, use
          'report_grouped' instead
        - an incomplete written input database is now handled as an error
        - SIGHUP and SIGTERM are no longer ignored
        - SIGINT, SIGTERM or SIGHUP are now handled by removing an incompletely
          written database (if file was created by aide) and exiting aide (code 25)
        - move COMPARE log level before RULE log level
        - switch hashsum in default R group from md5 to sha3_256
        - remove unsupported hashsums (haval, crc32, crc32b, tiger, whirlpool)
        - H default group now contains all compiled in hashsums that are not
          deprecated
        - rules are no longer applied to the database entries but only to the
          file system entries, meaning aide displays files/directories that are
          no longer matched by any rule as removed entries in the report
        - require pthread (remove --without-pthread configure option)

Version 0.16.2 (2019-05-19)
    * Bug fixes
        - Fix handling of directory-restricted negative rules
        - Don't lock '/dev/null' when used as output database
        - Fix parsing of rules containing '?' quantifier
        - Fix extended attributes support (xattrs)
        - Fix processing of go files
    * Please note:
        - The addition of the "trusted.*", "user.*" and the "security.*"
          namespaces to the xattrs attribute might lead to a vast amount of
          reported changed entries during your next AIDE run. You can use the
          `report_ignore_changed_attrs` option (see aide.conf(5)) to ignore
          changes of the xattrs attribute; but be aware that this will exclude
          the expected but also the unexpected (potentially malicious) changes.
