#102296 — [RELEASE] ‘python-daemon’ version 2.1.1 released

Howdy all,

I am pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.1 of the
‘python-daemon’ library.

The current release is always available at
<URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/>.


Significant changes since the previous version
==============================================

Version 2.1.0
-------------

I omitted sending a release announcement for version 2.1.0.

* Add a DaemonContext option, ‘initgroups’, which specifies whether to
  set the daemon process's supplementary groups.

* Set the process groups using ‘os.initgroups’.
  Thanks to Malcolm Purvis for contributing an implementation of this
  feature.

Version 2.1.1
-------------

This is a bug fix release, addressing this bug:

* Default ‘initgroups’ option to False. Using ‘os.initgroups’ requires
  permission to set process GID, so this now needs to be explicitly
  requested.


What is the ‘python-daemon’ library?
====================================

‘python-daemon’ is a Python library to implement a well-behaved Unix
daemon process.
