+libpipeline 1.1.0 released
+
+<p>I've released <a href="http://libpipeline.nongnu.org/">libpipeline 1.1.0</a>, and uploaded it to Debian unstable shortly.  The changes are mostly just to add a few occasionally useful interfaces:</p>
+
+<ul>
+ <li>Add <code>pipecmd_exec</code> to execute a single command, replacing the current process; this is analogous to <code>execvp</code>.</li>
+ <li>Add <code>pipecmd_clearenv</code> to clear a command's environment; this is analogous to <code>clearenv</code>.</li>
+ <li>Add <code>pipecmd_get_nargs</code> to get the number of arguments to a command.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The shared library actually ends up being a few kilobytes smaller on Debian than 1.0.0, probably because I tweaked the set of Gnulib modules I'm using.</p>
