    Received a suggestion from Antono Vasiljev to look in FreeDesktop.org's
 | 
						|
    standard user configuration directories for user script files.  This is
 | 
						|
    implemented in the GIT repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sunday, 20th June 2010
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Standardized the copyright notices on all auxiliary files (including this
 | 
						|
    one!) according to the example set by the GNU hello program.  Removed
 | 
						|
    immutable end texts from the texinfo document.  These changes are required
 | 
						|
    for Debianization.  Released as version 1.0.6.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sunday, 13th June 2010
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Made some technical changes to the build system to aid Debianization.
 | 
						|
    Released without announcement as version 1.0.5.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    The GIT repository has been completely re-hashed, and now represents a
 | 
						|
    complete and faithful history of the package's development since its
 | 
						|
    inception.

    The source code is now held in a GIT repository, at
 | 
						|
    git://git.savannah.gnu.org/mcron.git.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Released version 1.0.4, under the new GPLv3 license, after some prodding by
 | 
						|
    Karl Berry.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sunday, 16th April 2006
 | 
						|
    Released version 1.0.3.  Incorporated many coding suggestions by Sergey
 | 
						|
    Poznyakoff, which makes the program work with daylight savings time shifts,
 | 
						|
    fixes a bug in parsing Vixie-style input files, allows a user the
 | 
						|
    opportunity to correct a crontab entry instead of just wiping out the file.
 | 
						|
    Made it work with Guile 1.8.  Updated the manual with GFDL and some minor
 | 
						|
    suggestions from Karl Berry.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Monday, 2nd January 2006
 | 
						|
    Released version 1.0.2.

    Set up Savannah and the mailing lists so that we are now homed properly at
 | 
						|
    gnu.org. Released version 1.0.1 to reflect this, with CVS tag release_1-0-1
 | 
						|
    (no branch). Hopefully we will now get some feedback!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Friday, 12th December 2003
 | 
						|
    Released version 1.0.0 through rdmp.org. No CVS tag has been created.

    Mcron is now officially a GNU program. Unfortunately Savannah, the
 | 
						|
    development environment, has been mauled so an immediate GNU release is not
 | 
						|
    likely. No CVS tag has been created.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Tuesday, 5th August 2003
 | 
						|
    Released version 0.99.3. The CVS tag will be release_0-99-3 (no branch).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
    Broken the code into modules (which is not the same as saying the code is
 | 
						|
    broken ;-) ).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Sunday, 20th July 2003
 | 
						|
    Released version 0.99.2. (Now fully functional). The CVS tag is
 | 
						|
    release_0-99-2 (no branch).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

    It has been a long and painful journey, but we have at last worked out how
 | 
						|
    to work around all the faults in Guile (an implementation with no threads
 | 
						|
    and no UNIX signals!). The code is now really 100% Vixie compatible.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Saturday, 5th July 2003
 | 
						|
    Released version 0.99.1, with installation of cron and crontab disabled by
 | 
						|
    default (suspect problems with Guile internals are preventing these from
 | 
						|
    working properly). The CVS tag is release_0-99-1 (no branch has been
 | 
						|
    created for it).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

    We have been accepted as a Savannah project. A CVS repository and web home
 | 
						|
    page have been created. We're still waiting for acceptance as a GNU
 | 
						|
    project.
