Overview

Request 693637 accepted

- Add conflicts with libgpiod1 to help upgrade
- devel package now requires libgpiod and libgpiodcxx
- Move libgpiodcxx to its own package
- Update to 1.3:
* New features:
- the gpio-tools now have automatically generated (using help2man) man pages
that are bundled with the release tarball
- support a singular 'default_val' argument in Line.request() in python
bindings
- the test executable can now be installed to the bindir along with the
gpio-tools and the testing framework will look for the binaries in standard
locations if it's not run from the top source directory
- gpiomon now supports line buffered output
* Improvements:
- tweaks to the C API documentation
- treewide unification of the naming of local variables
- extended helptest in gpioset (explanation of the way the character device
works aimed at reducing user confusion when a GPIO line reverts to its
default value after gpioset exits)
- the source directories have been rearranged and the src/ directory was
dropped, lib/ and tools/ now live in the top source directory
- minor coding style fixes in python bindings, ctxless functions and tools
- automatically generated documentation is now removed by 'make clean'
- all Makefiles now use top_builddir instead of relative paths
- code shrink in configure.ac
- add a brief section about API documentation to README

* Bug fixes:
- fix a segfault causing bug in C++ bindings
- make bitset_cmp::operator() const as this is required by C++17
- ignore 'remove' events from udev in the testing framework
- don't segfault on num_lines = 0 in ctxless functions

As the old package was apparently not adhering to the shared library packaging policy, you need to aide the upgrade with conflicts against the old packages
