0.14 Fri Jun 03 2011
- The filename memory is now a part of the object (not a package variable

to Rob Brown for reporting.

0.11 Mon Mai 23 2011
- Init() didn't close all filehandles reliably (see also bug report at
for reporting and offering a patch.
- Attributes 'dont_close_fh' AND 'dont_close_fd' added so we can define
file handles and descriptors that must be preserved from the parent into
the child (daemon).
- Updated the documentation.
- In some environment it is not allowed to open anonymous files. In this
case now a 'pid_file' must be defined. Thanks to Holger Gläss for
reporting.
