        halloc 1.2.3

===
      
	Hierarchical memory allocation interface - an extension 
	to standard malloc/free interface that simplifies tasks 
	of memory disposal in cases when allocated structures 
	exhibit hierarchical properties.

halloc-1.2.3

	* added an integer overflow checks to halloc() as per
	  derrek's comment

	* added a multiplication overflow check to h_calloc()
	  while at it

	* pruned unused, commented out code

halloc-1.2.2

        * fixed an issue with hlist_relink in halloc when
          realloc'ed block is not on a sibling list, as per
	  github/abergeron comments

        * changed 'make install' from /usr/ to /usr/local/ as per 
	  github/ttilley comment

	halloc-1.2.1

		* fixed a double-free bug in _set_allocator() as per
		  Matthew Gregan comments

		* switched to using NULL instead of 0 where applicable

	halloc-1.2.0

		* added missing <string.h> include to halloc.c
		
		* improved standard compliance thanks to the feedback
		  received from Stan Tobias. Two things were fixed -
		  
		- hblock_t structure no longer uses zero-sized 'data'
		  array, which happened to be common, but non-standard
		  extension; 
		  
		- secondly, added the code to test the behaviour of 
		  realloc(ptr, 0). Standard allows it NOT to act as
		  free(), in which case halloc will use its own version
		  of allocator calling free() when neccessary.

	halloc-1.1.0

		* initial public release (rewrite of hhmalloc library)
