- Rework signal handling at process startup. Prevents failure of
imports that spawn processes before the default signal handling
is restored for child processes (TransportManager)

2020-01-15 Todd Valentic
- Fix catchupReset handling NewsPollMixin and NewsTool
- Added isRunning() and isStopped() to AccessMixin

2020-01-08 Todd Valentic
- Add atStart support to ProcessClient wait(). Note that this will cause
the first call to short circuit and might have an impact on code that
handles atStart explicitly.
- NewsPollMixin - make poll loop a generator for use cases where
pollers are part of a ConfigComponent
- NewsPoller - add setLastReadPrefix()
- NewsPollMixin - set last read prefix if called from ConfigComponent
- Support python3 in configure.ac

2019-08-06 Todd Valentic
- Add timeout to XMLRPC request handler
- Allow None in XMLRPX server requests

2019-04-14 Todd Valentic
- Use "/usr/bin/env python2" for shebang line instead of PYTHON
which is replaced with the full path for the interpreter found when
running config. This broke installations that were cross-compiled and is
more standards compliant.
- Add configure --disable-defaultgroups to prevent installing the
default process groups (used on embedded systems with different groups)

2019-04-10 Todd Valentic
- Relax check requiring transport user exist in configure
- Relax check requiring ctlinnd in configure
- Remove uid/gid from config file (compute at load)
- Add configure --disable-initd to turn off installing init.d script
- Add configure --disable-chown to turn off setting ownership at install
These changes are to support installing transport in buildroot for
cross compilation targets.
