0.5 (CVS nn):
=============

        * scripts: fix a bug in faxIncoming which lead to a non-working
          fax reception after automatic switch from voice to fax mode
          (thx to Andreas Scholz and Harald Jansen)

        * core: switch_to_faxG3 now also returns a faxInfo structure

        * scripts: added new non-error ISDN cause (0x349f) to fax send routine.
          It was understood as error by CapiSuite but means "normal call
          clearing, unspecified" (thx to Stefan Brandner for reporting)
	
	* Makefiles: moved a "mkdir" from the build ("make") to install stage 
          ("make install") (thx to Steffen Barszus for reporting)

	* scripts: added new options "fax_email_from" and "voice_email_from" to
	  answering_machine.conf and fax.conf (thx to Achim Bohnet for submitting
	  a patch with this feature!; closes bug #46) 

0.4.3 (CVS tag CAPISUITE_043):
==============================

	* scripts & core: support color fax reception (bug #22, thx to
	  Axel Schneck)

	* scripts: added missing file "unbekannt.la" to install targets in 
	  Makefiles (thx to Wolfgang Dollendorf)

	* scripts: added missing "+.la" which is necessary for the remote inquiry 
          of recorded international calls (bug #27)

	* scripts: fax_numbers may be now left empty in fax.conf. This makes
	  it possible to use one MSN for receiving/sending faxes and voice  
	  calls (fax sending was refused up to now if fax_numbers was empty).
	  (bug #23)

	* scripts: number of needed tries reported after sending a fax was  
	  wrong (bug #29, thx to Eckhard R<>ggeberg)

	* scripts: fax jobs can be given a literal addressee and a subject
	  for informational purposes now (bug #18 reported by Achim Bohnet)

	* core: fax headline is now converted to the right charset internally,
	  so that special characters like german umlauts are working now
	  (thx to Eckhard R<>ggeberg for reporting)

	* scripts: Sander Roest found a workaround for the odd Python error 
	  "cannot unmarshal code objects in restricted execution mode" which mainly
	  hit Redhat users for any reason beyond my understanding and prevented
	  CapiSuite from sending mails sometimes/always...

0.4.2 (CVS tag CAPISUITE_042):
==============================
	* manual now available as PDF  

	* scripts: fixed an overflow in cs_helpery.py which caused hangs for
          the receive of long (more than about 40 pages) fax documents 

	* scripts: fixed a bug in idle.py which caused a fax send delay of one 
	  hour when daylight saving time is in effect

	* scripts: attachments to sent e-mails now get a valid filename

	* scripts: the *_email settings from fax.conf and answering_machine.conf
	  now allow to set multiple addresses to send the mails to

	* scripts: the "*_numbers" settings from fax.conf and answering_machine.conf
	  now support the special sign "-" for "no destination number available"
	  (e.g. needed for the austrian "Global Call")

	* scripts: capisuitefax now handles filenames and dialstrings with 
	  special chars (spaces etc.) correctly

	* scripts: new parameter "--user" added to capisuitefax; thx to Wolfgang
	  Eul for the patch!

	* core: use "-" instead of "??" for "no number available", e.g. important
	  for the call_from and call_to parameters of scripts

	* core: small bug which lead to a wrong outgoing MSN in rare cases fixed

0.4.1a (tag CAPISUITE_041a):
============================
	* fixed a bug in the rc-script of CapiSuite which made 
          "capisuite start" unfunctional in 0.4.1 (path of executable changed)

	* included tests and changes for gcc-2.95, no patch necessary
          any more to build CapiSuite with it

	* CapiSuite now checks controller abilities and respects them
          when connecting (e.g. use extended fax protocols if available)
	  -> this also works around a severe crash with AVM drivers when
             transmitting a fax to/from some analog devices

	* fixed SECURITY bug in cronjob which allowed every CapiSuite user
          to become root. Sorry... :-((

0.4.1 (tag CAPISUITE_041):
==========================
	* cron script: redirect error output to /dev/null

        * core: cosmetical code improvements to make old gcc-2.95 more happy
        * core: fixed problems when doing "make install" to an arbitrary prefix
        * core: moved "capisuite" to <prefix>/sbin instead of bin

	* scripts: fixed idle.py freezing which lead to CapiSuite not sending 
                   faxes any more after some time (#527)
	* scripts: fixed remote inquiry: mixed new and old messages sometimes
	* scripts: stricter permissions of received files and dirs (#544) 
	* scripts: new option dial_prefix implemented (#537) 	
	* scripts: better check for options read from config files, (#531)
	           many options are optional now with a resonable default 
	* scripts: capisuitefax shebang corrected (#536)

Thanks goes mainly to Achim Bohnet and Dieter Pelzel for reporting bugs

	           progs like sendmail
	* scripts: minor fixes 
		
0.3.1 (internal release):
=========================
	* dist: included spec and init file in CVS and dist

	* docs: added ISDN/CAPI error codes to manual 

0.3 (internal release):
=======================

0.2.1 (internal release):
=========================
	* many document improvements (new DocBook manual)

0.2 (internal release):

	* configure allows to set docdir with --with-docdir

	  (IncomingScript & IdleScript)
	* new python functions call_voice and call_faxG3 to initiate outgoing calls
	* changed python exception handling to allow multiple calls in one script to be 
 	  handled correctly
	* python functions disconnect() and reject() wait for complete disconnection and  
	  return the disconnect cause now
	* assure nice disconnection in any error case (hopefully)
	* when error occured in script, physical connection is finished immediately leading

	* cleaned up python reference counting and threads, no known memory leaks any more
