[ANN] python-daemon 1.4.8

[Ben Finney]

Howdy all,

I'm pleased to announce the release of version 1.4.8 of ‘python-daemon’.

What is ‘python-daemon’
=======================

The ‘python-daemon’ library is the reference implementation of PEP 3143
<URL:http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3143/>, “Standard daemon process
library”.

The source distribution is available via the PyPI page for this version,
<URL:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/1.4.8/>. The latest
version is always available via the library's PyPI page
<URL:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/>.

What's new in this version
==========================

This is a bug-fix version, addressing the problems with a daemon
starting child processes. The library no longer defaults to fiddling
with the ‘SIGCLD’ signal, and instead leaves that to the customisation
by the library user as appropriate.

An update to PEP 3143 to document this change in the API is in progress.

Thanks to those who raised this issue and helped troubleshoot it (see
<URL:http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.general/629633>) and to
Joel Martin for finally pinning down where the problem was.
