38
+- Avoid redondant checking
39
+- Don't truncate file contents when checking if file is writable
40
+- Fix `light_controllerAccessible()` and `light_getBrightness()` this
41
+  functions were:
42
+   - Reading values from the controller
43
+   - Checking write permission even when we just want reading values
44
+   - Checking the mincap file instead of the actual controller
45
+- Don't try to read brightness values when only targetting max bright
46
+- Fix issues with string buffers and pointers
47
+  - Use `NAME_MAX` and `PATH_MAX` instead of hardcoded values
48
+  - Allow paths to be longer than 256 chars
49
+  - Check pointers everywhere
50
+  - Use `strncpy()`/`snprintf()` instead of `strcpy()`/`sprintf()`
51
+  - Validate controllers' name (`-s` flag + a very long name = bad
