????-??-??: 3.0.0
* switching to systemd-style daemon
this means Lsyncd will no longer fork itself
* heavily modularized source code
* dropping /dev/fsevents hack
this means, no more OSX support, sorry
* "insist" by default and no longer an option
* remove the command line configs -rsync -rsyncssh and -direct
* allowing multiple config files in the command line
* allowing "-" to read config from stdin
* added "-c" for command line lua configs
* removed _extra
if someone is hacky enough to really need it, they can hack Lsyncd source themself
* added uses overloadable signal handling
* signal TERM is forwarded to (rsync) subprocesses
* user scripts run in their own lua environment
* removed _merge inheritance template
* moved the default layer 1 functions to default.proto
2018-03-09: 2.2.3
enhaencement: supporting includes with new filter and filterFrom options
change: needing now at least Lua 5.2 (Lua 5.1 no longer supported, Lua5.3 supported)
change: if the target/targetdir ends with a ':' do not append
. a trailing '/' to it, since that would change it from homedir to rootdir!
add: example for Amazon S3 Bucket (Daniel Miranda)
fix: setting stdout/stderr to linebuffer mode.
fix: Lua5.3 compatiblity, using load() instead of loadstring()
fix: cmake lua detection, will resort to "lua" and "luac" binaries only if
more specific suffixes (e.g. luac5.3) are not available
fix: test suit, Lua5.3 compatibility (table.unpack)
2017-02-16: 2.2.2

until https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12569
is fixed and released.
2017-01-05: 2.2.1
enhancement: now always using filter lists with rysnc
instead of include/exclude lists taking advantage of the new --delete-missing-args
parameter to delete files on target.
>>> Thus Lsyncd 2.2.1 needs rsync >= 3.1.0

"usermap",
enhancement: settings{ } now checks for unknown entries and errors if so.
change: Level3 scripts ^path,^pathdir and ^pathname now don't start with a slash.
change: Lsyncd now writes a startup log message before daemonizing

it is provided precompiled.
change: faulty/deprecated config files that use settings = { ... }, with equal sign

fix: potential race conditions:
default.rsyncssh will now channel deletes also through rsync and treats moves
as blocking events.
fix: ']' is not escaped for rsync rules, since rsync only applies
doesn't applie pattern matching if no other pattern chars
are found.
fix: Shell injection hole close for default.direct on mv commands. (Marcin Szewczyk)
fix: Crash of default-direct when source doesn't exit (Michael Ploujnikov)

were not correctly translated
fix: added --ignore-errors to rsync when deleting files, so it will not miss a delete
even when another part of the tree made an IO-error.
