bug fixes and documentation updates. Highlights in this release include:

    - Add sample systemd(8) unit file
    - Disable blacklisting by default
    - Fix `pfctl` command syntax with OpenBSD 5.8
    - Implement logging as wrappers around syslog(2)
    - Improve log and error messages
    - Match sendmail authentication failures
    - Remove PID file option
    - Remove SIGTSTP and SIGCONT handler
    - Remove reverse mapping attack signature
    - Remove safe_fgets() and exit on interrupt
    - Terminate state entries for hosts blocked with pf
    - Update and shorten command-line usage
    - Use 'configure' to set feature-test macros

As usual, please report any bugs, build failures, or other issues to
the mailing list or the Bitbucket tracker [2].

Happy 2016,
Kevin

Does this in any way affect pf on FreeBSD?

... Why? The rc scripts on FreeBSD heavily rely on pidfiles. It ensures
that the process name and pidfile contents match what it finds in the
process list to be sure it's not going to kill the wrong process. I can
alter sshguard's rc script to launch via daemon(8) so I can get a
pidfile again, but that seems silly.
