* Fixed an incredibly obscure parsing error that caused some
false positives. If a constant C string, after the closing
double-quote, is followed by a \ and newline (instead of a comma),
the string might not be recognized as a constant string
(thus triggering warnings about non-constant values in some cases).
This kind of formatting is quite ugly and rare.
My thanks to Sascha Nitsch (sascha, at spsn.ath.cx) for pointing
this bug out and giving me a test case to work with.
* Added a warning for readlink. The implementation and warning
are mine, but the idea of warning about readlink came from
Stefan Kost (kost, at imn.htwk-leipzig.de). Thanks!!

* Released version 1.23. Minor bugfixes.

* Fixed subtle bug - in some circumstances single character constants
wouldn't be parsed correctly. My thanks to Scott Renfro
<scottdonotspam, at renfro.org> for notifying me about this bug.
Scott Renfro also sent me a patch; I didn't use it
(the patch didn't handle other cases), but I'm grateful since it
illustrated the problem.
* Fixed documentation bug in man page.
The option "--minlevel=X" must be preceded by two dashes,
as are all GNU-style long options. The man page accidentally only
had one dash in the summary (it was correct elsewhere); it now
correctly shows both dashes.
* Modified man page to list filename extensions that are
interpreted as C/C++.
* Removed index.html from distribution - it's really only for the
website.

Should anybody feel like they could be the maintainer for any of thewe packages,
please adjust.

This release changes the output format slightly to improve integration with
other tools, and improves the RPM packaging.

* Improved the default output so it creates multiple formatted lines
instead of single very long lines for each hit.
Use the new "--singleline" (-S) option to get the original
"long line" format.
* Removed duplicate "getpass" entry in the ruleset;
this didn't hurt anything, but was unnecessary.
Thanks to the user who gave me that feedback, wish I'd kept your
email address so I could credit you properly :-).
* Added a short tutorial to man page.
* Fixed initial upper/lower case on many entries in the ruleset.
* Allow "--input" as a synonym for "--inputs".

extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.

flawfinder is a program that examines source code and reports
possible security weaknesses (``flaws'') sorted by risk level. It's
very useful for quickly finding and removing at least some potential
security problems before a program is widely released to the public.
