I've just release netcf-0.2.2. There are a few fixes in this release, but the main impetus for releasing was to eliminate a potential segfault in libnl when netcf called a non-threadsafe libnl function:

- eliminate calls to nl_cache_mngt_provide(), to avoid
  non-threadsafe code in libnl (and because it isn't needed
  anyway) (This non-threadsafe code could lead to a segfault)
  (Thomas Graf)
- portability fixes for FreeBSD (Ed Maste)
- fix bug when a config file has two config parameters with
  identical names (Hendrik Schwartke)
- add HACKING document (Guido Günther)
- Ignore backup files created by dpkg (Guido Günther)
- always bail immediately if get_augeas fails (doing otherwise
  could lead to a segfault) (Laine Stump)

Thanks to everyone for their contributions!

[1] To verify the signature, first download both the .sig file and the
corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this:

     gpg --verify netcf-0.2.2.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

     gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 62D11E4C

and rerun the `gpg --verify' command.
