16PyKota NEWS :
17
18    - 1.02alpha :
19   
20        - The installation script now checks for software availability
21          and in case a software is missing asks the user if he
22          wants to continue with the installation or abort it.
23         
24        - The configuration file pykota.conf is now expected to be
25          found in /etc instead of in /etc/cups
26          The installation script prompts the user to see if he
27          wants to move an old configuration file to the new location
28          if needed.
29         
30        - Improved documentation.
31       
32        - You can now set the tcp/ip port on which the Quota Storage
33          Server is listening, see sample configuration file for details.
34       
35        - Better general error handling.
36       
37    - 1.01 :
38   
39        - The configuration file now accepts an option   
40          to choose the recipient(s) of the email messages :
41         
42            - DevNull means no one will receive them.
43            - User means only the user will receive them.
44            - Admin means only the admin will receive them.
45            - Both means the User and the Admin will receive them.
46           
47        - The configuration file now uses hard-coded default values
48          when an option is not set. See sample configuration file
49          for details.
50         
51        - Manual pages are included since 1.00, but I forgot to   
52          add this information to this file.
53         
54        - Redistribution terms for the official package have 
55          softened and are now fully GPL compatible :
56          unrestricted modification is now allowed even for
57          the version number.
58         
59    - 1.00 :
60   
61        - edpykota now accepts a --noquota option. This
62          disable quota checking while still doing page
63          accounting. This is really useful for people
64          who don't want to limit their users but want
65          to know how much pages they print.
66         
67        - Some untested scripts were added to retrieve
68          the life time page counter of non-SNMP printers.
69         
70        - Every directory now has a specific README file. 
71       
72    - 0.99 :
73   
74        - Under some circumstances while the user wasn't allowed
75          to print, he didn't receive any email message. It is
76          now fixed.
77         
78        - When an user wasn't allowed to print, the quota for
79          the previous user wasn't updated. This is now fixed.
80         
81    - 0.98 :
82   
83        - Correctly handle the case where the printer is switched off.
84       
85        - Small bug wrt syslog fixed.
86       
87    - 0.97 :
88   
89        - edpykota accepts wildcards on its command line for users/groups too
90          if the --add option is not set, e.g. :
91         
92              $ edpykota --printer lp --softlimit 50 --hardlimit 100 "jer*"
93             
94        - If no user name is passed at all, then a default wildcard of "*"
95          which means apply the command on ALL users for this printer is used.
96         
97        - Small bug fixes.
98       
99    - 0.96 :
100
101        - Options requester, policy, admin, adminmail and gracedelay can now
102          be set either globally or per printer. The printer option has
103          priority if both are defined.
104
105        - More powerful configuration parser.
106       
107        - If all options are defined globally, there's no need to
108          define a section for each printer in the configuration
109          file anymore. Just define a [global] section and it's ok.
110
111    - 0.95 :
112
113        - External requesters for printers finally added.
