[Ftp-release] [ANNOUNCE] libbsd 0.11.7 released

[Guillem Jover]

Hi!

This release includes:

 - Portability fixes for the Hurd.
 - Fix ELF support for big endian SH.
 - Sync the arc4random(3) implementation from OpenBSD.
 - Adjust declaration shadowing to match new glibc additions.
 - Manual pages and documentation cleanups.
 - Manual page rewrite to get rid of a BSD-4-Clause license.

The release also marks explicitly in the documentation the deprecation
of the non-overlay mode to try to promote the mode that is more portable,
which has always been the main reason for the creation of this project.
Future releases might start emitting warnings, once most of the current
users have been switched.
