halloc 1.2.1
============
Hierarchical memory heap interface - an extension to standard
malloc/free interface that simplifies tasks of memory disposal
when allocated structures exhibit hierarchical properties.

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)
