[yaboot.git] / changelog

2002-12-09  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.8

        * ofpath: Support new Xserve and Windtunnel PowerMacs.  
          - NOTE: For this to fully work it requires a sufficiently recent
            kernel.

        * Prefer $PATH_PREFIX/usr/sbin/ofpath if it exists.

        * yabootconfig: Add append="video=ofonly" if the running kernel
          was booted with it, only if user does not specify --kernel-args.

2002-9-28  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.7

        * Documentation:
          - Add German translation of yaboot-howto.
          - Small updates to yaboot-howto.
          - No longer tell people to send bugs to benh in yabootconfig(8).

        * yaboot:
          - Fix file search so IBM CHRP will work if there is more than
            one type 0x83 partition.
          - Fix possible reiserfs symlink resolution failure.

        * yabootconfig:
          - Fix corner case /etc/fstab parsing failure. (Debian bug#156742).

        * Small build system modifications (mostly to accommodate the use of
          the arch revision control system.

        * yaboot now includes two changelogs: "ChangeLog" which is a
          detailed automatically generated list of changes, and "changelog"
          (this file) which is a hand written understandable summary of
          changes between releases.

2001-12-01  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.6

        * The "IBM needs to test prereleases" release.

        * Documentation:
          - New IGNORE^H^H^H^H^H^HREADME, thanks to Chris Tillman for
            cleaning up the pile of cruft that this thing was.
          - yabootconfig man page was missing --kernel-args from SYNOPSIS.
          - Include README.rs6000 in the binary dist.

        * ybin:
          - Automatically use fstype=raw on IBM CHRP, it no longer needs
            to be explicitly set in /etc/yaboot.conf.
          - Deprecate ybin's yaboot.conf auto-generation, use yabootconfig
            instead.

        * yaboot:
          - Fix IBM CHRP support.
          - Fix device path parsing to support devices containing a comma,
            but not including a filename.
          - Add support for zImage.initrd (Peter Bergner).
          - help output no longer claims device=NULL if yaboot.conf does not define it.
          - Make password prompting a bit nicer looking.
          - Short penalty delay on incorrect passwords.

2001-10-28  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.5

        * Add yaboot-howto, Thanks to Chris Tillman.

        * yaboot:
          - XFS fixes for large partitions (Brendan O'Dea).
          - Upgrade libext2fs to 1.25, this adds full ext3 support to yaboot.
          - Reiserfs fixes (Jeff Mahoney).
          - Implement the message= configuration option (see yaboot.conf man page).

2001-10-13  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.4

        * ybin: Correct a verbosity message.

        * yaboot:
          - Add SGI XFS filesystem support.
          - Rewrite OpenFirmware device path parsing code.  This fixes
            many bugs and inconsistencies in yaboot's file loading.
          - Fix OpenFirmware filesystem support to automatically convert
            path separator from / to \.  CDROM authors no longer need to use
            kludges like image=\\install\\powermac\\vmlinux.
          - Fix kernel loading on some systems.
          - Allow for getting files from tftp server that does not run a
            bootpd/dhcpd.
          - Fix netboot when using the `n' key.
          - Fix a great deal of incorrect format strings which could cause
            yaboot crashes.
          - Fix all filesystems to properly return error conditions, and
            report those error conditions (instead of just saying `image not
            found').
          - Make configuration file open error consistent with other file
            open errors.
          - Add `help' command to yaboot which prints out basic usage information.
          - Add non-fatal warning when bootstrap partition has wrong type (pmac only).
          - Minor code rearrangement.
          - General cruft removal and code cleanup.

        * Makefile cleanup, make filesystems configurable.
        
2001-09-25  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.3

        * Add --debug option to yabootconfig

        * Fix BSD booting support somewhat.  The bsd= option's semantics
          have changed, it must now be set to the BSD root partition.  ybin
          will now install /usr/local/lib/yaboot/ofwboot onto the bootstrap
          partition when bsd= is present in /etc/yaboot.conf.  The dual boot
          menu will then execute "ofwboot <bsd_root_part>,/bsd" this means
          the bsd kernel must be at /bsd on the BSD root partition.

2001-09-24  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.2

        * Fix Makefile thinko where make install failed if
          /etc/yaboot.conf already existed.

2001-09-20  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3.1

        * Don't include /etc/yaboot.conf in binary dist, instead put the
          example in /usr/local/share/doc.  This way extracting the tarball
          from / won't blow away existing configs.

        * Move strip commands from install target to strip target, install
          now depends on strip.

2001-09-20  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.3

        * Merging of ybin and yaboot source trees, this is now the
          official upstream yaboot/ybin source tree.

        * yaboot:
          - Various ppc64 & chrp fixes by Peter Bergner, fix fdisk partition
            handling.
          - Fix netboot (was broken by reiserfs patch)
        
2001-08-26  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2.6

        * ofpath became broken on non-scsi systems due to quoting fix.
        
2001-08-20  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2.5

        * Fix broken quoting uncovered by debian's current /bin/ash.

2001-08-06  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2.4

        * ofboot: remove <OS-VOLUME-NAME> tag as it was causing the
          OpenFirmware multibooter to crash.

        * mkofboot: zero first 800K of bootstrap partition before creating
          filesystem.

        * yaboot:
          - Version 1.2.3
          - Supports using an md5 hash as well as plaintext password. (me)
          - Fix again system.map loading. That also fix an old pending bug
            we had where yaboot could pass random values for system.map,
            causing the kernel to mark random pages reserved. (BenH)
          - IBM CHRP fixes. (Peter Bergner)
          - Add reiserfs support (Jeff Mahoney)

2001-06-30  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2.3

        * ofpath:
          - Version 1.0
          - Add support for IBM CHRP, thanks to Marco d'Itri for testing.
          - Use real wc if available, this speeds up ofpath slightly for scsi.
          - Make variables local to their function unless they need to be global.

        * ybin:
          - If installing on IBM CHRP run addnote on yaboot binary before installing.
          - Reword some error/verbose messages
          - Make variables local to their function unless they need to be global.

2001-06-24  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2.2

        * yabootconfig:
          - Now works with braindamaged versions of pdisk.
          - Add --kernel-args switch which allows boot-floppies to easily
            add an append= line if needed.

2001-06-01  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2.1

        * Fix test for strict posix/SUS echo behavior.

        * Check for printf built into the shell.

        * yabootconfig: check for and attempt to deal with cross device symlinks.

2001-05-28  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.2

        * Added yabootconfig, a script to build a valid /etc/yaboot.conf

        * ybin:
          - Detect IBM CHRP hardware and disable nvram update automatically
          - Automatically run yabootconfig if /etc/yaboot.conf is missing
          - Check for PATH_PREFIX environment variable and add all bin and
            sbin directories from under it to PATH.  This is for boot-floppies.
          - Add bsd= to list of multiboot options.

        * ofboot: bump maximum number of OSes to 8.

        * ofpath:
          - No longer report bogus paths for non-existent scsi devices.
          - Fix bug where garbage characters were mixed with the
            OpenFirmware device path.
          - Fix broken Wallstreet PowerBook support.
          - Add support for silly devfs naming convention, Thanks to Tom Rini.

2001-05-06  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.1.1

        * ofboot: 
          - Hopefully fix random and rare booting problem when chainloading
            other OSes.  Thanks to Segher Boessenkool for the fix.
          - Add volume name which shows up in the OpenFirmware multiboot
            screen.
          - It is now possible to replace the badge icon for the multiboot
            screen, see examples/README.mbicon.

        * yaboot: 
          - Version 1.2.1
          - Includes my previous 1.1.1-eb3 patches for password protection and single-key.

          - Version 0.8
          - Add support for Performa 6400_200, PowerMac 4400, and the clones.
          - Removed `No such file or directory' errors when system has no
            scsi at all.

        * ybin:  
          - If delay= is not set use value of timeout= (converted to
            seconds) instead.
          - Removed command line options --type, --creator, and long
            obsolete and deprecated --conffile.  The config file options

          - Adds password protection capabilities.
          - Add `single-key' option from silo.

        * Documentation:
          - Rewrote the yaboot.conf man page, now derived from silo.conf(5)

2001-03-22  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 1.0

        * ybin:
          - Fix a few bugs that occured when magicboot= was not used.  
          - Add basic support for IBM style bootstrap partitions.  These
            partitions have yaboot dded directly to them.  See the yaboot.conf
            man page regarding fstype for more info, also
            examples/yaboot.conf.rs6k. 
          - Don't require that ofpath be installed if its not needed.

        * Documentation:
          - Added examples/yaboot.conf.rs6k
          - Man page updates for IBM support.

2001-02-19  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.31

        * ofpath:
          - Quiet shell error when run on non-PowerMac (but still
            PowerPC) hardware.
          - Properly recognize more OldWorld PowerMac G3s. 
          - Fix OldWorld detection for kernels < 2.2.17
          - Require that /proc be mounted.

        * ybin: 
          - Fix OldWorld detection for kernels < 2.2.17
          - Make the `not bootable on OldWorld' warning very loud and
            obnoxious.  
          - Change PATH to make /usr/local the last component instead of
            the first.
          - Make the text/background color in the boot menu configurable,
            see the yaboot.conf(5) man page for details. 
          - Change default foreground color to white per yaboot 1.0.
          - Remove support for obsolete /etc/ybin.conf.

        * Documentation: 
          - Clarified the `partition=' variable in the yaboot.conf man page
            and correct an error in the example in that man page.
          - Added more comments to included yaboot.conf examples. 

        * yaboot: 
          - Include version 1.1.1
          - Includes color support

2000-11-18  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.30

        * ybin: add `brokenosx' option, when used with macosx= ybin makes
        the MacOSX menu entry execute \System\Library\CoreServices\BootX
        directly instead of using \\:tbxi.  This is necessary for
        people who insist on installing OSX on HFS+ instead of UFS, since
        MacOS deblesses HFS+ OSX partitions.
        
2000-10-28  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.29 (the brown paper bag release)

        * The yaboot.conf man page was broken.

        * While were at it, include yaboot 0.9 binary (compiled -Os,
        stripped)
        
2000-10-24  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.28

        * ybin: Add mntpoint= option, this allows ybin to install the
        bootstrap into an already mounted filesystem.  This is NOT
        recommended unless you know what your doing.  

        * ybin: fixed generation of ofboot.b so it will work with nobless
        and usemount.
        
2000-10-20  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.27

        * ofboot: fixed problem where text was not visible on some newer iMacs. 

        * ybin: Now warn the user when they are using ybin on an OldWorld
        PowerMac.  (it will still work since its possible to make newworld
        bootable disks on an OldWorld mac)

        * ofpath: Now works on oldworld macs under 2.4 kernels. 

        * Added check for packaged versions of ybin to the Makefile and
        warn user about them.
        
2000-09-23  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.26

        * ofboot: completely rewrote the generator script, it is now more
        extendable and supports more menu options.  More thanks to iNOUE
        Koich! for the continuing help on OpenFirmware issues!!

        * ybin: added options for mulitboot menu: now can create a menu
        with options for GNU/Linux, MacOS, MacOSX, Darwin, and booting off
        a CDROM, from the network, and even directly into an OpenFirmware
        prompt. 

        * ybin: some errors were sent to stdout instead of stderr, fixed.

        * ofpath: refuse to run on anything but GNU/Linux.  (for now anyway)
        
2000-09-18  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.25

        * ofboot: now changes the background color to black and the text
        color to cyan like yaboot.  Thanks to again to iNOUE Koich!  

2000-09-16  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.24

        * ofboot: many bugs in the Forth code fixed. code should now be
        compliant to the OpenFirmware spec.  Also add CD boot menu option.
        (add enablecdboot to /etc/yaboot.conf) Thanks to iNOUE Koich! for
        the Forth code.

2000-09-13  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.23

        * ybin: now hard code the target filename for ofboot, its always
        installed as ofboot.b on the bootstrap partition.  This eliminates
        ambiguity when someone tries a different script with different name.

        * ybin: all debugging output goes to stderr now.

2000-09-09  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.22

        * ofboot.b renamed to ofboot.  (.b means boot block which this is not) 

        * yaboot and ofboot are now installed in /usr/local/lib/yaboot/
        instead of /boot, since these files are never directly accessed by
        the firmware it is not really appropriate to keep them in /boot.
        make install will create backwords compatibility symlinks when
        installing over an older version of ybin so nothing should break.
        IMPORTANT: you should run mkofboot on a dedicated bootstrap
        partition to purge old filenames.

        * Man pages updated to reflect new file locations.  Also include a
        patch to change the paths to /usr/lib/yaboot for Debian and redhat
        package maintainers.

        * ybin: now checks two places for a default value for install=
        /usr/local/lib/yaboot/yaboot, /usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot.
        
2000-09-02  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.21

        * ybin: fixed nvram update so it uses a real filename instead of
        \\:tbxi when nobless is set in /etc/yaboot.conf.  (\\: means find
        file in blessed directory).

        * ofpath: more oldworld machines supported.  Now supports 7200,
        7300, 8600, 9500, Gossamer G3, PowerBook 1998, PowerBook 3400 (and
        possibly 2400).
        
2000-08-31  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.20

        * ybin: check for Newworld compatible nvsetenv and if found will
        automatically update the OpenFirmware boot-device variable in
        nvram.

        * ofpath: support some oldworld machines. (this does not mean
        ybin/yaboot supports oldworld).  Also silence a harmless error on
        machines lacking a CDROM.

        * ofboot.b: added more machines to <COMPATIBLE>
        
2000-08-25  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.19

        * Added PowerMac3,2 and PowerMac3,3 to ofboot.b scripts.  Fixes
        Debian bug #69870

2000-08-22  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.18

        * ofboot.b: changed the yaboot boot commands to boot yaboot by
        filename rather then file type. Booting by file type did not work
        reliably on all machines.

        * ybin: hard code the target filename for yaboot, regardless of
        the source filename (from install=) the target filename on the
        bootstrap partition will always be "yaboot.b".

        * Added ofpath utility, this is a rewrite of the show_of_path.sh
        utility written by Olaf Hering.  Ofpath works with /bin/ash and on
        stripped down systems such as the Debian boot floppies.  Also
        wrote a small man page for this utility.

        * ybin: automatically use ofpath to find the OpenFirmware device
        path when ofpath= is not defined in /etc/yaboot.conf.  Ybin will
        also use ofpath when macos= or macosx= are set to unix device
        nodes (ie /dev/hda11), these options can still be set to
        OpenFirmware paths as well. 

        * Makefile: minor cleanup, added installation of ofpath
        utility/man page as well as a deinstall rule.

2000-08-13  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.17

        * Yaboot 0.7 binary included.

        * ybin: fix bug where ybin would fail if the bootstrap files
        included an "_" in the filename.  (actually its a workaround for
        hfsutils brain-damage)

        * ofboot.b: completely rewritten.  Now includes shell script code
        to allow ybin to configure it based on config options in
        /etc/yaboot.conf instead of requiring the user to edit it
        themselves.  Additionally this new script will display a REAL boot
        menu when dual booting is configured.  It is capable of dual or
        tri booting GNU/Linux (yaboot), MacOS 8.*/9.* and MacOSX.  This
        new ofboot.b script should *NOT* be edited by the user, and thus
        should NOT be marked as a conffile in Debian and redhat packages.
        These packages should now install ofboot.b in /boot instead of
        /etc since it is no longer a config file.  WARNING: The Forth code
        in this script has not been tested on all machines and may not be
        universally compatible.  Thanks to Chris Emerson for writing the
        Forth code.

        * yaboot.conf: new options: ofboot= macos= macosx= delay=
        defaultos=.  See the yaboot.conf man page for details. 

        * Now include a Makefile to handle installation, only make install
        is defined.  Removed install-sh. 

        * mkofboot is now distributed and installed as a symlink instead
        of a hardlink.
        
        * Man page updates.
        
2000-04-25  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.16

        * menu_ofboot.b: fixed bug where the yaboot line was missing the
        boot command, this prevented it from booting yaboot.

2000-04-25  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.15

        * Merge quik's bootstrap(8) man page with ybin's ofboot(8) man
        page and rename it back to bootstrap(8).  This also solves the
        conflict with quik.  In a more useful way IMO.

2000-04-24  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.14

        * Ship man pages uncompressed, gzip them in install-sh instead,
        this allows for easier patching by debian maintainers if need be.

        * Rename bootstrap(8) man page to ofboot(8) so ybin does not
        conflict with quik.
        
2000-04-23  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.13

        * Rewrote the config file parsing yet again to remove dependencies
        on tr, and awk.  This allows ybin to function on minimal systems
        such as boot/rescue floppies.  This also pretty much solves the
        slowness problem.  Thanks to Daniel Jacobwitz for the help.

        * Made changes to remove dependencies on basename and wc.  Again
        this is to allow ybin to work on boot floppies.

        * Changed all calls to grep to stop using GNU extensions, this is
        so ybin will work properly with the minimal version of grep
        included in busybox.

        * Added signal handling so ybin/mkofboot will cleanup after
        themselves if killed with signals 1 2 3 or 15.
        
        * Added OS Badge icons to the ofboot.b scripts.  On G4 machines
        you can hold down the option key and get a graphical boot selector
        with one button for each bootable partition, the button with the
        penguin icon is the bootstrap partition.  Thanks to Nicholas
        Humfrey for creating the Badge icon.

        * Minor updates to the man pages.
        
2000-04-19  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.12

        * Now include yaboot binary in ybin distribution.

        * Include a install-sh script to install everything.

        * Use of the separate ybin.conf file is deprecated.  Use
        /etc/yaboot.conf instead.

        * Removed the so called kludge options, without being able to
        bless the root directory they were just useless bloat.

        * Removed useless --readonly option, it was already default (as it
        should be)

        * Deprecated bootconf options since the yaboot.conf is the same
        config ybin uses.  (it is still there and works but that may change)

        * Changed configuration file format to be more like quik/lilo:
        bootfile= is now install= (--bootfile is now --install), wrapper=
        is now magicboot=, usemount, protect, and hide are now just a
        keyword options, if they are present in the configuration file
        they are turned on, if they are not present they are turned off.
        bless= is now the nobless keyword option, since bless is default
        this one changed names.

        * ybin: no longer need to specify -C /dev/null if you don't have a
        configuration file in /etc/.  If this is the case ybin will generate
        a generic yaboot.conf to install on the bootstrap partition.  

        * More changes to the configuration parsing to improve speed, the
        format change also helped the speed problem.

        * Added man pages for ybin, mkofboot, yaboot, yaboot.conf and
        bootstrap. 

        * More general fixes/cleanup/tweaks.
        
2000-03-13  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.11

        * Added command line options to both scripts, try --help. This
        makes the ybin.conf file optional if you wish (-C /dev/null)

        * Changed the way the config file is parsed, no longer source it
        with the shell, this allows ybin.conf to be merged with
        yaboot.conf at which point yaboot can live with unknown options in
        its config file. 

        * Use /etc/ybin.conf if it exists, if not use /etc/yaboot.conf for
        ybin configuration.

        * Merged ybin and mkofboot into one script, mkofboot shared 90% of
        of its code with ybin anyway and this will make them much easier
        to maintain. mkofboot is now a hard link to ybin (or a symlink if
        you prefer, both will work)

        * Added an experimental feature to generate a yaboot.conf on the
        fly based on command line options.  The defaults should be
        workable on a Debian system with an internal ATA disk, with the
        root partition being the 3rd on the disk. Depends on mktemp for
        creating the temporary file, Debian's mktemp is secure against
        race conditions, use with caution if your distribution lacks a
        secure mktemp utility. This option is activated with -c auto.

        * No longer depends on bash. Works with Debian's
        /bin/ash. Interpreter is now set to /bin/sh.

        * Assorted cleanup, minor bug fixes.

        * Added example yaboot.conf.
        
2000-02-04  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.10

        * Added a simple multi-boot menu written by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

2000-01-17  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.9

        * mkofboot was still broken. :-(


2000-01-14  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.8

        * Added a basic CHRP script ofboot.b to work around the problem of
        OF refusing to load `tbxi' files unless they contain a CHRP boot
        header. See README.ofboot.b for details.

        * Updated default ybin.conf to install ofboot.b by default.
        
2000-01-13  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.7

        * mkofboot: Check for hformat was broken. 

2000-01-12  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.6

        * mkofboot: Fixed problem where it was insisting that mkdosfs be
        present even when using hfs filesystems if usemount=yes.

        * mkofboot: Added proper checks for hformat or mkdosfs.
        
2000-01-09  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.5

        * First public release.
        
        * Add TODO and BUGS files.

        * mkofboot: Check to see if usemount=yes, and if so make sure we
        are root before proceeding to erase the partition.

        * ybin: Removed useless echo line. 
        
2000-01-05  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.4

        * ybin (util_install): Fully support OF `wrappers' now: if a
        wrapper is defined in the configuration file then the wrapper is
        given the HFS file type specified instead of the bootfile, the
        bootfile's type is set to "boot".  

        * ybin: New configuration option `bless' when yes and are using
        hfsutils we will `bless' the root directory of the bootstrap
        filesystem so OF should be able to find and boot the system
        without reconfiguration.

        * mkofboot/ybin (checkconf): Add validation for the new `bless'
        option. Also add check that the wrapper, if defined, exists and we
        have permission to it.
        
2000-01-04  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.3.
        
        * ybin (util_install): Quote the filetype/creator arguments to
        hattrib to prevent the shell from interpreting any meta-characters
        in some cases. Also no longer try and set metadata on wrapper if
        there is no wrapper.

        * mkofboot: When creating hfs or dos filesystems give them volume
        label of "bootstrap".
        
2000-01-03  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.2.

        * mkofboot: added -w switch to grep when checking if a filesystem
        is already mounted to prevent erroneous positive matches.

        * ybin (util_install): Add check to make sure that the target
        device is not mounted as a filesystem before mucking with it.

        * Added changelog.
        
2000-01-01  Ethan Benson  <erbenson@alaska.net>

        * Version 0.1.
        
        * first version.
