pilot-link 0.11.8, "Asphyxia", 06-17-2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
More code cleanups in this release, minor typos fixed here and there, and
more reduction of the codebase in general. Things are going to get smaller,
faster, and more functional with each of these releases.

Major Features:
	* New timing loop so you don't have to hit HotSync on the Palm
	  first, before launching your desktop conduits. This also work with
	  gnome-pilot and J-Pilot as well.
        * pilot-foto conduit to fetch/convert photos taken with a Palm
          Zire71 camera device
	* Completely new Java bindings, rewritten from the ground-up by John
	  Mitchell (thanks John!)

Other Features:
        * A few new manpages

Bug Fixes:
	* Fixed a small leak in the socket code (serial.c/socket.c) (Robert
	  L Krawitz)
	* Removed CoPilot ROM support from pi-getrom/pi-getram. POSE
	  supercedes it, and should be used instead.
	* Solaris libpng fix (Simon Burr)
	* Fixed the pilot-addresses segfault problem on some platforms
	* BSD gnugetopt cleanup to counter unsetting $LIBS accidentally (Joe
	  Marcus Clarke)
	* Perl5 errors when building under a debug build of Perl (Johathan
	  Mark)

Known Problems:
        * install-datebook needs proper parsing for spurious arguments
	* Resources which exceed the Palm recommendation of 64k will cause
	  odd behavior in pilot-link. This can be easily fixed by increasing
	  DLP_BUF_SIZE, but this isn't really good to do.
	* sync-plan has some issues with events, need testers to verify.
	* Syncronizing on FreeBSD with USB Palm devices is still flaky, but
	  we believe the issue to be inside the BSD USB stack, and not
	  within pilot-link itself. Can anyone concur/refute this assertion
	  and help us test it further?
	* If you are doing a Network HotSync backup, and communication is
	  interrupted, your local copy of the last database accessed will be
	  truncated. One proposal to working around this has been floated,
	  but not implemented or tested yet.

What's Coming Soon:
	* VFS support was implemented with 29 of the VFS functions needed to
	  read, write, and query external storage cards on Palm handhelds,
	  but it was not deployed in this release. It should arrive in 0.12
	  of pilot-link, only a few releases away.
	* Conduit compression/rewrites. Many of the conduits will be
	  collapsed into singular conduits, and others will be rolled into
	  static versions using Perl for code reduction and portability
	  reasons.
	* iCal and LDIF support for Calendar and AddressBook input and
	  output
	
The goal of the next few releases of pilot-link is to reduce the number of
lines of actual code used, and compress the redundancy into singular
entities. This means that similar or like code will be repurposed as much as
possible across all of the libraries and conduits, reducing the cruft and
maintenance required to update it for new features.

pilot-link 0.11.7, "What's up Doc?", 1-05-2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few bugs squashed in this one, improved stability, two new conduits,
manpages, docs, more..

Major Features:
        * None at this time
	* New pilot-archive sample conduit to send archived ToDo records to
	  STDOUT as CSV-formatted entries.
	* Deprecated pilot-mail, in favor of pilot-mailsync. pilot-mail
	  remains, as an example to other conduit authors.
	* pilot-link 0.11.6 will now cleanly build on OSX 10.x.x systems

Other Features:
        * New install-todo conduit (Robert A. Kaplan)
	* New install-expenses conduit

	  propose possible solutions to solving them for general users
	* Added HOST_OS detection and linked into each conduit, to assist
	  debugging
	* Added Python test script (Nicholas Piper)
	* Added support for ElectricFence malloc() debugging library
	
Bug Fixes:
        * Fix for failures on usb:// notation use

	* Fix for pilot_connect() that was losing the client socket
	* Fix for install-memos malloc() bug, -t missing argument bug, title
	  truncation bug.

Known Problems:
	* FreeBSD hangs on USB synchronization (this may not be a pilot-link
	  bug, as serial, IR works using the same code structures)
        * Java bindings missing manifest
        * snprintf() calls fail on Irix 6.4 systems   
        * Improper getopt_long propagation on Irix 6.4
        * autoconf/automake 2.5x problems on AIX
	* install-memo doesn't strip ^M from files before syncronization,
	  doesn't detect duplicate files being sync'd to the same device.

additions.

Major Features:
	* None at this time

Other Features:
	* None at this time

	  with J-Pilot

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pilot-link 0.11.2, "I Want One Two", 08-6-2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an updated version to the 0.11.1 "Ocean's Eleventy-First" release
from July 18th, and fixes quite a few bugs that people have reported with
gnome-pilot and J-Pilot.

Major Features:
	* pilot-xfer now has a more "usable" backup style, and the -q option
	  now does something useful (this will be changing in the near
	  future, enabling curses to control the backup "windowing")
	* First pass at native FreeBSD support from Anish Mistry (we need
	  testers!)

Other Features:
	* None at this time

Bug Fixes:
	* install-todos -f didn't work at all in 0.11, fixed.
	* pilot-addresses didn't import the right csv format, fixed.
	* Updated the manpages and fixed some typos in the source
	  documentation
	* ReadDBList was returning an incorrect value, confusing J-Pilot,
	  fixed.
	* TCL version test was incorrect in ./confiure.in, fixed.
	* pi-addresses.h had an incorrect field ordering which caused the
	  ouput csv to be incompatible with the record format, fixed.
	* Updates to allow pilot-link to build under BSD/OS 4.3 (Jeffrey C
	  Honig)

Known Problems:
	* Network Hotsync from Linux to Windows does not work

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pilot-link 0.11.1, "Ocean's Eleventy-first", 07-18-2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a bugfix release to address some issues found in the 0.11 release
from 7-12-2002.

Major Features:
	* read-palmpix now takes arguments for output file type, "-t png" or
	  "-t ppm"
	* read-notepad also updated to accept the same argument types

Other Features:
	* Fixed some of the gcc-related warnings (more to come)	
	* All of the language bindings (Perl, Python, Java, Tcl, Tk, iTcl)
	  all default to off, unless specified. If you want to enable them,
	  you must use --with-foo, where 'foo' is the binding of your
	  choice, such as --with-perl

Bug Fixes:
	* pilot-xfer -f didn't work at all in 0.11, fixed.
	* pilot-xfer -f bugfix for non-writable local files
	* Minor Python build fix

Known Problems:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
pilot-link 0.11, "Ocean's Eleven", 07-12-2002
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a development release, primarily to test the new usb device support. 
Most of the USB devices are on /dev/ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1), except for the
Sony PEG-S300 and 760C which are on /dev/ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0).  Note that
you must hit the sync button prior to running the app right now for USB
devices.  It is recommended that a kernel > 2.4.16 be used due to problems
that existed in earlier drivers (may get a kernel oops).

Major Features:
	* DLP argument parsing re-write
	* Better usb device support e.g. usb:/dev/ttyUSB1 
	
Other Features:
	* Allow sync to proceed even if OS 4.x device has password set
	* Split out generic conduit library to libpisync
	* DLP regression test

Bug Fixes:
	* Compile perl, python modules with correct lib dir
	* Lots of minor bug fixes, reorganization

Known Problems (Please see doc/TODO for more details):
	* os2serial.c and winserial.c files are not yet ported to the new
	  USB, serial, and Net protocol "recipes"
	* The "sys" protocol is not well tested
	* TCL/TK bindings are out of commission
	* PDB files with space filler records are not yet handled properly
