Hi everyone,

After a longer than usual break, I am happy to announce that file-5.41 is now available:
	ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-5.41.tar.gz <ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-5.41.tar.gz>

This again is a bug fix release with a couple of minor enhancements:

- add varint type (currently not used in any magic)
- add f flag to strings for full word matches

Below is the complete ChangeLog.

Enjoy,

christos

        * release 5.41

2021-09-23  03:51  Christos Zoulas <christos at zoulas.com>

        * Avinash Sonawane: Fix tzname detection

2021-09-03  09:17  Christos Zoulas <christos at zoulas.com>

        * Fix relationship tests with "search" magic, don't short circuit
          logic

2021-07-13  01:06  Christos Zoulas <christos at zoulas.com>

        * Fix memory leak in compile mode

        * PR/272: kiefermat: Only set returnval = 1 when we printed something
          (in all cases print or !print). This simplifies the logic and fixes
          the issue in the PR with -k and --mime-type there was no continuation
          printed before the default case.

        * PR/270: Don't translate unprintable characters in %s magic formats
          when -r
        * PR/269: Avoid undefined behavior with clang (adding offset to NULL)

2021-05-09  18:38  Christos Zoulas <christos at zoulas.com>

        * Add a new flag (f) that requires that the match is a full word,
           not a partial word match.
        * Add varint types (unused)

2021-04-19  17:17  Christos Zoulas <christos at zoulas.com>

        * PR/256: mutableVoid: If the file is less than 3 bytes, use the file
          length to determine type
        * PR/259: aleksandr.v.novichkov: mime printing through indirect magic
          is not taken into account, use match directly so that it does.

2021-04-04  17:02  Christos Zoulas <christos at zoulas.com>

        * count the total bytes found not the total byte positions
          in order to determine encoding (Anatol Belski)
