  3                	* Moved afindep and bluez network code to separate modules with very
  4                	  generic interfaces and refactored to create functions for common
  5                	  code.  The bluez code now uses a similar approach to afindep.
  6                	* Reworking of warnings and other messages to simplify and reduce the
  7                	  number of strings for translation.
  8                	* Made parameter checking more resilient and now always includes
  9                	  arguments for optional components (such as bluetooth), but now gives
 10                	  an appropriate error if used.
 11                	* Updated man page with bluetooth options.
 12                	* Created a system.h header for system specific defines, which
 13                	  includes autoconfs config.h.
 14                	* Changed boolean types to use stdbool.h (where available)
 15                	* Fixed typedefs to use *_t for the typedef symbol, not the original
 16                	  struct name.
 17                	* Extensive code cleanup to prepare for a release.
 18                	* Add -X and --rev-transfer options (reverse transfer).
 19                	* Updated copyright notices for 2005.

200                 	  support is fully optional.
201                 	* Tested builds are successful on *BSD and linux systems, with and without
202                 	  ipv6 support.

217                 	* Changed parser.c to set IPPROTO_* flags instead of setting the socktype
218                 	  to differentiate TCP vs UDP connections.
219                 	* Updated do_listen() to listen to an arbitrary number of sockets, using a
220                 	  linked list structure to manage them.
221                 	* Reworked autoconf files to autoconf 2.5 standards.
