Release notes for 2.23

[884 days pass...]

• • get libcap to compile with modern kernels. This adds support for newer capabilities: CAP_WAKE_ALARM; CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND.

  • include a libcap.pc file for package maintainers (thanks to Bryan Kadzban, and Thomas H.P. Anderson).

  • clear up some signed/unsigned comparison issues (thanks to Mark Wielaard @ Redhat and, more recently from Akhil Arora @ Intel)

  • add support for power-pc build (courtesy of Ivan Kabaivanov)

  • we can apparently no longer rely on the system util ping to assist with testing libcap/capsh/kernel combinations, so use capsh instead. (Thanks to Serge Hallyn @ Ubuntu for debugging help.)
