   * Add own C/cpp options to those set in environment
   * New -P|--paranoid option wipes swapfiles after use

   * Checks swapdir's filesystem size on startup
   * Rewritten swapfile sizing formula
   * Cleaned up logging system
   * Rephrased "meekness" as "elasticity"
 .
 swapspace (1.4) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Supports Linux 2.4's /proc/meminfo format; no longer requires 2.6 kernel
   * Only deallocates if enough memory stays free for entire cooldown period
   * Failure to parse /proc/meminfo is now fatal
   * New --version option
   * Additional sanity checking of memory statistics
 .
 swapspace (1.3) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Consider part of non-dirty cached memory (and buffers) to be free space
   * Re-tuned default parameters for new accounting
   * Unified logging code--it's not pretty, but it's prettier
   * No longer bother with "negotiable" minimum swapfile sizes
   * Clarified startup message ("require n extra bytes" to "would prefer []")
   * Systematic rounding of swap sizes to page size
   * Pad help output to align long options names vertically
   * Fix: "smaller than expected" informational message was printed too often
 .
 swapspace (1.2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Initial Debian package.
