v1.9.1 (2.0 release candidate)

This is a release candidate for v2.0 of libqb.

There are a number of important changes here.

1. The soname has been bumped up to 100 to avoid any problems if we need to do any extra releases of libqb 1
2. doxygen2man has been included (imported from knet) so it can be used in other cluster projects. It's not currently used in libqb but I anticipate it will be.

As always please use the signed tarballs below.

v1.9.0 (2.0 release candidate)

This is a release candidate for v2.0 of libqb.

There are a number of new features:

• high resolution logging (millisecond timestamps)
• systemd journal logging
• re-opening of log files under program control

and many bug fixes.

I've also removed the linker shenanigans that caused so much trouble with compatibility in the past, which is the main reason for making this 2.0.0 rather than 1.0.6

v1.0rc4 Release Candidate

This is a bugfix release and a potential 1.0 candidate.

There are no actual code changes in this release, most of the patches are to the build system. Thanks to Jan Pokorný for, er, all of them.
