	mode is on. Bug reported by David Malone <dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie>.

2006-01-20 Chris Leishman <chris@leishman.org>

	* Fixed a bug in listen (missing AI_PASSIVE flag)

2005-08-18 Chris Leishman <chris@leishman.org>

	* Moved afindep and bluez network code to separate modules with very

	  arguments for optional components (such as bluetooth), but now gives
	  an appropriate error if used.

	* Created a system.h header for system specific defines, which
	  includes autoconfs config.h.
	* Changed boolean types to use stdbool.h (where available)

	    setting up the remote_stream directly.
	  - Added do_listen_continous() to allow for and inetd like mode.
	  - An open3 function for exec'ing and talking to an external process (to

	  flag support.

2002-12-29 Chris Leishman <chris@leishman.org>

	* Merged in chris_refactor_291202 branch

	  - Added support for setting the buffer sizes.
	  - Added support for configuring MTU's and NRU's.
	* Added long option support.

	  supported at compile time, and moved other checks to runtime.  Ensured ipv6
	  support is fully optional.
	* Tested builds are successful on *BSD and linux systems, with and without
	  ipv6 support.
	* Reworked readwrite() to ensure buffers are correctly flushed before the
	  connection closes.
	* Reworked file transfer mode to instead use RECV_DATA_ONLY or
	  SEND_DATA_ONLY flag.

2002-12-15 Chris Leishman <chris@leishman.org>

	* Added handling of EPIPE errors for writes.
	* Merged in chris_refactor_101202 branch

	  the code and build system, and a refactoring of the network and readwrite
	  code to remove the separation between udp and tcp code.

2002-04-03 Mauro Tortonesi <mauro@deepspace6.net>
