+kmod 20
+=======
+- Bug fixes:
+ - Handle bogus values from ELF, making sure they don't overflow while
+ parsing the file
+ - Fix leak in depmod when -b flag is passed multiple times
+ - Multiple minor fixes from static analysis by coverity and
+ clang-analyze
+ - Fix race between loading modules and checking if it's loaded in the
+ kernel
+
+- New features:
+ - There's a change in behavior regarding builtin modules: we now only
+ consider as builtin those that are present in modules.builtin index.
+ Previously we were also checking the presence of
+ /sys/module/<module-name>, but this is racy and only modules that
+ contain parameters are the ones creating a directory in sysfs.
+
+ Now some commands will start to fail, e.g. "modprobe vt". Since vt
+ can't be compiled as a module it's not present in modules.builtin
+ index. Previously we would report at as builtin, but now we fail
+ because we couldn't find the module.
+
+- Improvements:
+ - Integration of gcov into the build. Currently libkmod is at ~70%
+ covered and tools at ~50% by tests in the testsuite. Utility
+ functions and structures in shared have more than 90% of coverage.
+ - Upload build to coverity
+
+- Improvements to testsuite:
+ - Fix parsing return codes of init_module() calls
+ - Add tests for utility functions in shared/
+ - Add tests for kmod_module_remove_module()
+ - Add playground, in which our own modules are compiled
+ - Port all tests to use modules from module-playground instead of
+ copying prebuilt modules to the repository
+ - Properly handle binaries that exit with no output
+ - Besides comparing the output of commands, allow to copy to
+ stdout/stderr
