        lircd cpu usage may jump to 100%
        If the release time is set from a previous button press, then tv
        will be updated accordingly. If the release time has already
        passed, then tv might be 0, in which case poll gets a timeout of
        0 milliseconds and the loop is executed again (eating all available
        cpu).

        Next version will be 0.10.2

        SafeConfigParser class has been renamed to ConfigParser in Python 3.2
        The current version of LIRC produces a warning message with more or less
        up-to-date versions of Python 3. You can find such messages in syslog for
        instance (date and hostname stripped):

        lircd-setup[828]: /usr/sbin/lircd-setup:37: DeprecationWarning: The SafeConfigParser class has been renamed to ConfigParser in Python 3.2. This alias will be removed in future versions. Use ConfigParser directly instead.

        visit_rc() leaks file descriptor
        visit_rc() opens /sys/class/rc/rc1/protocols O_RDONLY, but never closes it, so
        the file stays open forever. [fd is overwritten by another O_WRONLY open a few
        lines later; that one is closed correctly, though.]

        In my case (lirc-0.10.1 on openSUSE Leap 15.4, 'irw' running, 'lircd' failing
        to open /dev/lirc1 due to permission issues), this means that 'lircd' creates
        a new /sys/class/rc/rc1/protocols file descriptor every second, sometimes
        resulting in hundreds of /proc/$PID/fd/ entries.

        Apparently, this was introduced by commit 06bd6d "plugins/default: Just check
        lirc protocol if read-only access (#133)." on 17-Sep-2015.

        Only enable the lirc protocol if present
        linux kernel 4.16 and newer no longer have the lirc chardev connected as
        a protocol decoder, but it is baked into rc-core. So, it is not necessary
        to enable the lirc protocol any more if lirc is not present in the
        protocols file.

        Note that lirc is still in the protocols file in current versions of the
        kernel (at the time of writing), but it would be nice to be able to remove
        this in the distant future.

        lib/curl_poll.h: fix header guard collision with musl libc
        The musl libc uses the _POLL_H macro as a double include guard for the poll.h
        header. This breaks compilation of files the include curl_poll.h:

        In file included from driver.h:32:0,
                         from driver.c:12:
        lirc/curl_poll.h:38:29: error: array type has incomplete element type ‘struct pollfd’

        Rename the curl_poll.h header guard macro to avoid collision. Don't use a name
        that starts with an underscore and a capital letter since these names are
        reserved according to the ANSI C standard.

        tests: Overall portability fixes.
          - Use correct lircrcd binary from development tree.
          - Use explicit /bin/bash shebang, don't trust /bin/sh to be bash.
          - Use lirc_set_verbose() to kill silly output.

        lib:lirc_client: Add lirc_set_verbose() function.
        There has been no way to dynamically set the output flag defined
        by lirc_init. The tests are a simple usecase requiring this, but it
        aseems general enough to motivate a new function.

        python-pkg: tests: Use socat instead of ncat (#289).
        Turns out that ncat exists in several version on Debian, all of
        them broken somehow. socat seems more uniform and works in both
        Fedora and Debian stretch.

        mode2: Actually parse the [mode2] config file section [#292].
        Although the manpage describes how mode2 reads the [mode2] section
        in the config file, the actual code for this was missing.
