                        Changes made to VChat since v2.04a
                        ==================================

v2.12b -- Added some alpha-test code, to fix a bug which sometimes
          causes communication channels to break down on slow
          lines like SLIP lines.

v2.12a -- Again one last Bugfix in the linux implementation.

v2.11e -- First official release version.

v2.11c -- Final Linux implementation, several bugs fixed.

v2.11a -- Improved makefiles now support building file dependencies
          via the mkdep command.

v2.10e -- Fixed a bug in the textcolor emulation.

v2.10d -- Textcolor is not longer supported, to simplify usage.
          Applied some optical tuning.

v2.10c -- Improved Audio support. Deadsnd files can now be played
          with vping. Added date and time information to the chat
          request message.

v2.10b -- Fixed an emulation bug in screen-init.

v2.10a -- Added more color support.

v2.09f -- Added a commandline option to the vchat client program
          to select the textcolor, to make a configuration possible,
          where the standard background/textcolor selection of vchat
          does not work properly.

v2.09e -- Version 2.09e of the vchat interactive ip level chat system
          now introduces a new mechanism of nickname checking to prevent
          nicknames from being present multiple times in one conference.
          Double nicknames are allowed if one user opens several chat
          windows, all of them using the same username, hostname and
          IP-address. Additionally the Vchat client program now has
          some new commandline options, to specify the server host by
          giving it's IP-address on the commandline, and to manually
          override the compiled in TCP-portnumber via a commandline
          switch. Vping now supports some new infos when showing a
          list of logged on users, which now in fact consists of username,
          ttyname, hostname, login time, online time and idle time.

v2.09c -- Commandline options in vchat and vping are now gathered via
          the getopt(3) call which works much better than some self-written
          constructs :-)
          Finally fixed the emulation bugs in vchat, when changing the
          window size or leaving vchat.
          Added a commandline flag for normal/reverse screenmode in vchat.

v2.09b -- Implemented two commandline switches in vserver (-xusr, -xhost)
          to set the special priviledged user via commandline, rather
          than compiling these values into the binary. Fixed again some
          Bugs. Extended logging of vping.

v2.09a -- Made vping server run with/without inetd. Finally fixed a bug
          in the vping server which sometimes prevented vping from
          calling a user on his terminal. General cleanup. Portnumbers
          are now completely converted to network byte order. Added
          a little usage screen to the vping server for non-inetd mode.
          Added support for syslog to the vping server and also a
          commandline switch to turn logging on/off.

v2.08b -- Improved autoconfiguration mechanism to fit this fucking
          Linux GNU make, which doesn't know about commandline options
          like -Dwhatever.

v2.08a -- Some bugs which were made during the changes for the SunOS
          implementation are now fixed. Completely rewrote the Makefiles
          for all parts of Vchat. Vchat is now fully configurable.
          Added file dependencies in all Makefiles.
	  Cleaned up source tree, gathered all unnecessary header files
          together in the files global.h and config.h in the top-level
          directory of vchat.

v2.07a -- Changed declaration of ip-adresses to 'struct in_addr' for
          the sake of portability. First implementation including all
          necessary changes for SunOS.

v2.06g -- Completely new sysinfo routines in vping and vserver.
          Improved packet mechanism between vping and vserver.

v2.06f -- Another few bugs fixed in vping server.

v2.06e -- Solved problem with lost bytes in "who" command of vping server.

v2.06d -- First official version supporting freeBSD, 386BSD and LINUX.

v2.06c -- Extended handling of broken pipes by vserver.

v2.06b -- Ported to LINUX, tested on pl13 and pl14 (hausutzu@pse)

v2.06a -- Improved packet communication routines.

v2.04a -- First nearly stable version of VChat supporting all commands.
          (alpha test pre-release version)
