Improvements to the "setperms" function (used to set permissions on files rather than save disk space). Improvements to the "htmlreport" functionality to optionally include a summary table of rule statistics for the period covered. Documentation has been reviewed and updated. A "match_filter_limit" option for rules has been added.

This release adds support for the "setperms" function to allow rules for setting and changing permissions, adds a "match" function to the match_by clause functionality to allow more flexible filtering, fixes the handling of rule history statistics, improves handling of the "older than boot" generators, adds further self-tests, and improves the "date from file" functionality.

This release adds support for optionally specifying the maximum amount of time a particular rule can run for, and support for scrubbing files with random data (for delete rules) if so required. Other changes include improved self-tests, further details in output mode, and fixes for some small problems.

This release supports pattern ignore lists from files, minor syntax improvements for rules, and improved manual pages.

An "append" function was added to allow the contents of a matched file to be appended to the end of an existing file and have the original file removed. Self-test functionality was added for "move" and "append" actions. The rule configuration guide documentation was updated.
