Release 0.9 (Sun Jan 23 15:46:25 CET 2005)

  * corrected some tests for now case-insensitive 
    ade_fcm_loadconfigfile function and ref files
  * split some lines that use ade_tmp_register with
    -l option, which is not illegal except within
    register function itself.
  * simplified bin/Makefile with make variable
  * installed adeshf and adeperlf, and wrote better
    man pages.
  * changed ade_utils.sh.spp, ade_gep.sh.spp not use use
    ade_tmp_register -l EXIT_FUNCS, and added standard test
    to outlaw use of this.

Release 0.8 (Fri Nov 12 00:34:28 CET 2004)

  * corrected a bad priority in the syslogging code of ade_msg_info
  * lowered a debug message level from the shell config file loader
    function ade_fcm_loadconfigfile.
  * switched from variable names being fixed strings to allowing
    regexps in ade_fcm_loadconfigfile
  * added -n option to the ade_lck_lock to allow backgrounded subshells
    whose $$ is not accurate to force a more accurate pid than 
    ade_lck_lock reads from $$.
  * changed _ade_gep_signalhandler() to use info calls instead of
    warning calls (DioneWiki:Bugs/KeyboardInterruptToBeSilent)
  * added test for use of UID or GID in scripts
    (these are bash-reserved words)
  * imported a couple of functions from mondsk
    (ade_std_df_localfs, ade_std_mailx, ade_std_logger,
    ade_std_du_ax)
  * converted template modules' ChangeLogs from Debian
    format to standard format.

Release 0.7 (Mon Sep 20 11:23:07 CEST 2004)

  * removed adespp's expansion of backquotes; it is now left up
    to the shell command to do it. Execution of #spp exec's should
    not be done using system() or perl's own backquotes; but instead  
    by direct execution with execp().
  * rearranged ade_msg_askquestion so that it does rationalisation
    *before* validation.
  * cache manager and rolling status manager functions in the perl library
    were using names for file handles which could easily be used by a
    user's program, so renamed them.
  * more things expanded in adespp directives
  * added info on --sbindir, which I'd neglected to include.

Release 0.6 (Thu Apr 29 22:15:23 CEST 2004)

  * took a specific version of the manual page to convert as part
    of the ADE700_ademan2html_convert_ademan2html test.
  * as part of the same test stripped the trailing '-->' after
    the date in the autogend header because timezone names vary
    in length according to the time of year (MET/MEST) and this
    causes the up-to-before-this-change method of changing only
    the date text and not the trailing spaces and '-->' to
    not match at different times of year.
  * added some debug to the ADE800_adeln_unreadable_things test.
  * aderel tests updated according to new aderel syntax (release
    id not specified on command line but only in ChangeLog)
  * ADE005_adegmt_creates_everything reference updated now there
    is a new file 'BUGS' in the 'find' output.
  * retagged everything with SVN keywords.
  * added empty BUGS file
  * moved some string printing to *outside* the format string in 
    order to avoid "Attempt to modify read-only value" error which
    directly printf'ing of a complex URL caused in wkrep.
  * modified aderel to substitute man page dates.
  * changed man page dates to new aderel-substituted symbol, both
    in man pages and templates.
  * removed requirement to specify release id on aderel's
    command line as this can now be extracted from the 
    ChangeLog.
  * modified ADESTDTEST103_option_list-paths so that it does
    not try to consult environment variables of the form
    OPTIONS_<something> where <something> contains hyphens;
    this was causing a test failure for aodms-helper, where
    it tried to do 'eval OPTIONS=\"\$OPTIONS_aodms-helper\"'
    and choked.
  * added perl version of ade_spc_cachemanager().
  * corrected quotation of checking of option value in lxshell
    to make it space-safe.

Release 0.5.3 (Tue Mar 16 13:19:51 CET 2004)

  * miscellaneous svn property fixes and keyword additions.
  * do not install doc/examples any more; it is entirely
    up the program using ADE to provide install recipes
    now. Same also for doc beyond the default ChangeLog, 
    README.1ST, etc.
  * minor man page fixes.

Release 0.5.2 (Sun Feb 29 18:06:59 CET 2004)

  * ademan2html was not being installed, fixed the Makefile
    to install it.

Release 0.5.1 (Sun Feb 29 17:46:37 CET 2004)

  * corrected bug in ADE800 test whereby 'find' descended in
    to directories as root that could not be descended into as 
    non-root and thereby got different test output.
  * added module creation date to README.1ST.
  * added svn keyword properties
  * updated list of programs subject to standard tests
  * added test for ademan2html
  * adespp help option -h removed, options -H and -X renamed -h and -x,
    -nX and -nH renamed to -X and -H, with many changes in usage of
    adespp within ade module and others.
  * added tests for adeln
  * corrected some spacing in all man pages around commas in 
    option lists
  * added ademan2html.
  * correction to perl scripts option processing whereby 
    comma operator misinterpreted because of being in array 
    context
  * removed use of 'unset' constant and used empty value instead
    in shell scripts (better alignment with perl scripts)
  * aderel now skips debian dir or symlink
  * better alignment of Usage messages with man pages
  * added dependency on compile,install and tests to check that
    configure has been run
  * added test for adeconf not leaving double-slashes in the
    generated paths files
  * fixed double slash generation in adeconf
  * adeln no longer quits with error if symlink target directories
    are not readable, but it does warn. 
  * allow '~' in paths listed by '--list-paths' option
    in ADESTDTEST103_option_list-paths
  * removed private copy of path->absolutepath conversion
    function and used ADE's instead.
  * added ignore of 'debian' symlink
  * added test of perl and shell version of 
    new ade_fcm_loadconfigfile function
  * modified adeshf to accept only one argument
    with consequent changes to some test scripts
  * removed underscores from 'standard' directory name 
    symbols (e.g. 'TMP_DIR' is now 'TMPDIR')
  * added test to check that scripts do not used
    'LINENO' (reserved shell env var) or 'typeset'
    (not ash-compatible)
  * added config ('in') file for new ADE standard test
  * added vim filetype defintions to .spp files
  * converted to new option processing code in all
    programs (big change)
  * switched to using 'local' instead of 'typeset' 
    since 'typeset' is not supported in 'ash' shell
  * totally recoded adeconf, which now does not use
    a parameter, so changes to makefiles 
  * '--list-paths' test adjusted to allow programs
    to tell the test that their config file is /dev/null
    so they do not pick up previously installed 
    version's /etc/<whatever>.conf files.
  * command-accessing standard tests now also check sbin
    as well as bin (required for 'torc' which is in sbin)
  * lowered level (i.e. higher numerically) of many 
    debug messages in ADE libs
  * redirect stderr from exitdel's attempt to delete
    all outstanding files
  * generic lockname generator function now uses SPPSYM_LCKDIR
    instead of /tmp
  * removed quoted evaluation support from adeconf
  * expanded '--list-paths' handler in adeconf
  * total reworking of path calculation in adeconf (no longer
    builtin 'opt' support)
  * added command adeperlf (like adeshf), intended really only
    for testing
  * added new test ADE004_adegmt-n_creates_nothing to check
    'adegmt -n' (with and without --scm-dirs) creates no
    directories. (This test currently fails, though the
    test itself is correct.)
  * partial conversion to using non-opt-supporting aderoot
  * beginnings of Debian compliance
  * reverted to using rman instead of groff for man2html  
    conversion.
  * minor INSTALL doc typo fix also in template modules
  * minor fixes to the manual
  * converted all test scripts to pure 'sh' (changed '#!'
    and typeset to local); this includes ADE's tests and
    the standard tests
  * better propogation of SHELL_CMD and MAKE values 
    - through aderel to its invovation of make
      done by adding '--make'
    - through adetest to tests' invocations of make
      done by adding '--make', and it putting $MAKE in
      environment of test script
    - no explicit setting of MAKE make-variable; this is
      make's responsibility, not the makefile's
    - Makefiles' invocations of adetest and aderel to
      pass --make=$(MAKE)
  * updated INSTALL doc from Greg Keleman's FreeBSD experiences,
    including the start of a FAQ section in the same document
  * for SunOS (with broken printf and broken awk) try not only
    to use perl's printf but also bash's printf.
  * svn:keyword property and substitute text mods for bsfr
  * fixed 'make install' for Suns, which didn't like '-path' option
    on 'find' command called in ADE_MFC_RECADEINST.
  * added '-n' option to ADE_MFC_SYMLINKER_CMD and
    ADE_MFC_THUMBER_CMD (access with 'SYMLINKER_OPTS=-n' on
    make line.
  * did away with AUTHORID in settings.mk - it is unused.
  * added adeshf command to help test functions without needing to
    build a wrapper module for each function
  * test for ade_std_printf updated accordingly
  * quoted SHELL_CMD in include/bin/Makefile so user can say
    'make SHELL_CMD="/usr/bin/env whatever"' as they can already 
    for PERL_CMD. Quoted all args at the same time.
  * ADE_MFC_RECADEINST fixed to install all directories before files
    (this is in order that empty directories get installed, since
    non-empty ones are already created when the contained file is
    installed).
  * adegmt fixed to substitute long-formatted date in man pages, 
    templates adjusted to use substitutable text instead of real
    fixed (and inappropriate) dates.
  * removed 'revision' work from reported version strings when 
    versioning scheme is 'rcs'.
  * modified ade_std_printf to cope with Sun's broken /usr/bin/printf
    and broken /usr/[5]bin/awk. Had to use perl!
  * the blank lines produced around adespp's call to produce an
    autogend header have been removed because groff outputs a whole
    empty page because of these one lines. (Test reference files
    updated accordingly.)
  *  added support for Linux ksh in ade_std_printf
  *  added new shell functions: ade_std_printf, ade_std_whence,
     ade_spc_setforexec
  *  added new test for ade_std_printf
  *  all occurences of calls to printf changed to calls to 
     ade_std_printf, this mainly affects ade_spc_autogendheader
     which was hanging on HP-UX because its printf chokes on
     '*' width specifier.
  *  _ade_gep_init now calls _ade_gep_getosid in order to
     cache $UNAMES and thereby reduce the work that ade_std_printf
     does
  *  aderel changed to invoke 'gzip', 'tar' and 'make' using the 
     *received* $PATH instead the reset one; this is because at ESO
     GNU make and gzip are not found otherwise.
  * cosmetic correction to shell autogend header
  * corrected permissions of testlist.spp
  * minor corrections to adeln man page synopsis
  * minor corrections to adeintro manpage
  * added '--no-unreadable-dir-warning' option to adeln
  * ADE Makefile for html files updated to take advantage of
    adeln's new '--no-unreadable-dir-warning' option
  * added long option '--directive' to adespp for its '-P'
    short option.
  * converted changelog to non-Debian format
  * added option processing breaker '--' code
  * corrected some public environment variable names
  * aligned options, usage message and man page
