 12            
 13            	* Moved afindep and bluez network code to separate modules with very
 14            	  generic interfaces and refactored to create functions for common
 15            	  code.  The bluez code now uses a similar approach to afindep.
 16            	* Reworking of warnings and other messages to simplify and reduce the
 17            	  number of strings for translation.
 18            	* Made parameter checking more resilient and now always includes
 19            	  arguments for optional components (such as bluetooth), but now gives
 20            	  an appropriate error if used.
 21            	* Updated man page with bluetooth options.
 22            	* Created a system.h header for system specific defines, which

 25            	* Fixed typedefs to use *_t for the typedef symbol, not the original
 26            	  struct name.
 27            	* Extensive code cleanup to prepare for a release.

 28 chris 1.19 	* Add -X and --rev-transfer options (reverse transfer).

177 mauro  1.15 	* Merged in chris_refactor_291202 branch
178             	  - io_streams now handle their own scheduling, the readwrite loop queries
