0.4     25 Jul 2002
-------------------

Add support for new-style phonebooks.  Thanks to Jason White
<jdwhite@jdwhite.org> for his help in testing this!

Add support for reading and writing email addresses.  Thanks again to
Jason White <jdwhite@jdwhite.org> for his help in testing this!

Better differentiation between errors and empty phonebook entries
  from startalk_get_phonebook_entry.

Don't print empty entry attributes.

Add support for special characters in phone numbers, thanks to patches
  from Jeffrey C. Honig <jch@eng.bsdi.com> and Gilbert Raymond
  <gilbert@lucent.com>.

Don't print trailing spaces for name, company, email.

stty flag is changed from -s to -S.

-t when used in combination with another mode means use that
  mode, and enable testing/experimental features.

Revamp test system to be faster and more thorough.

Make writing messages to the StarTAC simpler and faster, thanks to
  a patch from Jeffrey C. Honig <jch@eng.bsdi.com>.

Fix checksum calculating but that was causing packets for writing
  new-style phonebook entries to come out wrong.

Fix memset parameter error which was putting gibberish in email
  addresses.

Fix signedness issues so we compile with -pedantic (since the checksum
  bug was caused by a signedness mistake).

Error checking for printf-style functions under gcc.

Fix a few small bugs, improved debugging messages, simplify and
  speed up small bits of code.

Internal rearranging of some functions.

Add preliminary support for settings.  This support will be enabled in the
  next release.


0.3     12 Jun 2002
-------------------

Add support for reading new-format phonebook entries, used on newer
StarTAC phones.  Which phonebook entry format to use is determined by
reading the first entry from the phonebook and looking at its size.
Writing new-format phonebook entries still isn't working.

Add a new -e option to show empty entries, instead of skipping them as
we do by default.

Added a test harness script, and a small set of test scripts.

Better support for setting or disabling the UUCP-style serial port
lock directory.  The lock directory is currently found but never used;
that may change in future releases.

Fix a few small bugs.

Fix small bugs where some debugging output didn't go to stderr.


0.2     13 Feb 2002
-------------------

Use code stolen from Minicom for phone initialization.  This seems to
be much more reliable.  Other initialization improvements.

Fix numerous small bugs.

More verbose debugging output, if requested.  Use "-d 4" to crank it
all the way up.

Improve timeout code greatly.

Added more information to README.

Better signal handling.


0.1      02 May 2000
--------------------
First release
