0.4.1   Now using proper runtime plugins and XML/RDF configuration files.
        The flow that is the direction of messages from plugin to plugin has
        reversed to flow from bottom up instead of top down.
        Configuration program now built into Root-Portal.
        Code structure completely changed to be as ANSI-C++ as possible!
        Lots of code re-written, heaps of code still missing! -
        this is the reason this release is not so good for the public and is
        therefore only a development release. If you want something that has
        lots of working features, go grab 0.3.7 instead!

        Webpage server moved from http://driftwood.draconic.com/root-portal to
        http://driftwood.darktech.org/root-portal

0.3.7   Just fixed a file compile time errors. Looks like I bundled some wrong
        code with 0.3.6 by accident!

0.3.6   Added freshmeat.sh and segfault.sh to the distribution so that you can
        easily download the latest software releases and latest news (fake or
        real, whatever it may be from segfault!)

        Fixed compiler errors for Debian distributions

        Fixed a death error for [shell] module children, changed the way
        they're disposed of

        Fixed a bug with the popup menu that made it only work for one
        [gnometext] module

0.3.1   Made the popup scrollbar more accomidating and fixed it so it
        appear on the task list.
        
        the configuration file now accepts [module:name:output]

        added rerun=(time in thousandths of a second) to the shell module so
        that you can use programs that don't need to run constantly in the
        background. Now you can rerun programs such as 'users'

        added slashdot.sh script to go with the better shell module. This'll
        download the latest slashdot news so you can stick it on your desktop.
        It'll also show the links to the news articles so you can select them
        and read them.
        The script is designed to enforce a 30 minute delay before a reload of
        news is allowed.. as the slashdot website has stated that they'll
        remove the service if people download the news too often. ~and we
        wouldn't want that to happen!~

        Fixed several memory leaks and processor eating thingies
        Fixed a bug in the config file reading with comments
        Fixed an odd bug with the replace= command

        Added new actions=(name),(action),(name),(action)... option to
        gnometext for context matching. Now you can simply add an action
        to a gnometext and have it, say, load up netscape with that URL as
        the location (hint hint slashdot news) ... unfortunately we were
        unable to complete this to also accept hostmasks and IP's because of
        a bug in zvt. Zed is working on this for newer versions of ZVT so that
        this'll hopefully be working shortly. Zed is doing a great job, don't
        spam him.

        As a result of the new actions= command, the right button now controls
        actions= popup list, and the middle button controls the moving of a
        window

        Beginning a structure change internally to keep track of all the
        configuration data for runtime configuration!

        Upped the speed of version changing so that it's more realistic to
        how fast we're approaching our project goals.
        
0.1.2   the configuration file now accepts [module:name]

        program should now kill old instance properly
        
        various bug-fixes
        
        added some more to the documentation
                
0.1.1   Added SHELL module
           commandline=<the command line to run>
                
                features include, it can be used as a modifier, or
                as a initial module like file_tail, or .. if you're weird
                as an output module.. so I _guess_ you could re-write log
                files or something after they've been filtered with it.
                
                Repeated output of data will be filtered out. At first I
                thought it might be good to put an option in for this, but
                the more I thought about it, the more I realised you'd
                always want this to be true.. if for some reason you do
                want this to be false, email me.
                
                Credits for the child process spawning code go to
                Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.anu.edu.au>

        Moved 'newline' to start of line in GNOMETEXT module, so that the
        last line of portal isn't wasted. Thanks for pointing out my
        stupidity Zed <mzucchi@dehaa.sa.gov.au>

0.1.0   First Major Release
0.0.9   First Buggy Release
0.0.8   First Minor Release
