--------------------------------------------------------------
1.7 * Released 160419

1.6 * Released 150824
* wmifs uses now the new library libdockapp that includes the old
wmgeneral library.
* Add note about libdockapp to INSTALL.
1.5 * Released 150527
* Include latest version of wmgeneral library.
* Move source files to top directory.
* Fix spelling error and escape hyphen in manpage. Based on a patch in
the Debian package [1].
* Fix "variable 'ppp_old" set but not used" compiler warning. Based on a
patch from the Debian package [2].
* Update Makefile. In particular,
- Drop unnecessary definition of DESTDIR.
- Drop LIBDIR; pointed to deprecated X11R6 directory.
- Honors CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS build flags.
- Remove out-of-date version number from installation message.
Based in part on a patch from the Debian package [3].
* Fix "suggest braces around empty body in an if statement" compiler
warning.
* Fix "comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions"
compiler warning.
* Fix "overflow in implicit constant conversion" compiler warnings.
* Replace deprecated caddr_t with void *.
* Replace deprecated usleep with nanosleep. Although defining
_DEFAULT_SOURCE is overkill for nanosleep, it also fixes "field b
has incomplete type" errors, as we need __USE_MISC defined to pick up
the definition of ifreq in <net/if.h>.
* Add -c command line option allowing users to set color.
* Reformat help text for readability.
* Add support for wmgeneral's -geometry command line option. Also take
the opportunity to correct the manpage; the -d option should be
-display.
* Honor CONF Makefile variable when parsing system config files.
* Don't ignore geometry strings beginning with '-'.
* Throw out first /proc/net/dev reading. If we keep it, we start with a
huge spike and everything else is zero until the spike finally leaves
the window several moments later.
* Tidy #includes using include-what-you-use.
* Reduce scopes of variables (fixes style warnings from cppcheck).
* Convert strtok() calls to thread-safe strtok_r().
* Add proper copyright header.
* Update Window Maker instructions in HINTS.
* Remove first two installation steps in INSTALL. The user must have
already done these two things already to be able to read INSTALL in
the first place.
* Update README. In particular,
- Remove version-specific information in header.
- Clarify webhost information in Credits section.

1.4 * Released 141022
* Incorporate patches from Debian.
* Now maintained by Window Maker Developers Team.
1.3b * Released 980513
* Splitted up WMPPP and WMiFS into separate programs.
* WMiFS now uses our 'newstyle' shared dockapps code,
it's quite rewritten again.
* WMiFS now reads /proc/dev/net instead of /proc/net/route.
* Changed the RC file parsing and handling again.
* Now ignores DUMMY interface too :)
* Fixed the 'Zombie' bug :)
* Better 'execvp' code :)
* Vastly reduced X CPU usage :)
1.2p1 * Released 980502
* Updated the docs, sorry, we forgot to update some
of them, due to some last minute changes in the code
the docs where incorrect on some parts (systemrc).
* Updated the Makefile because the systemrc files
went to the wrong location (due to above changes).
* Updated the WMPPP rc files, again, due to some last
minute changes in the code, WMPPP's rc files where
no longer working properly.
1.2 * Released 980429
* Completely revamped the WMPPP & WMiFS GUI :)
* Added 'forceleft, forcemiddle and forceright'
options in WMiFS for 'real' multiuser systems,
when 'force*' is detected in /etc/wmifsrc the
user settings in ~/.wmifsrc are overridden
(usefull for sites where users may not fiddle
with pppd's options :)
* WMPPP: Ditto, added 'force' facility here too
* WMPPP: now correctly redisplays time when killed
and restarted
* WMPPP: timer now starts to run when the actual
connection is made
* WMPPP: added BAUD CONNECT value display
* WMPPP: added 'getmodemspeed', a SUID proggie to
read the CONNECT value from /var/log/messages
* WMPPP: dropped the config GUI and added an
.wmppprc file instead > motivation to do so:
this way, WMPPP is much more platform and
distribution independant :)
* WMPPP: enhanced the status LED, yellow means
dialing, green means online, red means error
* WMPPP: added -display commandline option
* WMPPP: added -t commandline option, default
the timer will display HH:MM, -t will display
MM:SS and switch to HH:MM after 60 minutes
* WMiFS: added support for all interfaces in
/proc/net/, now all interfaces are supported :)
* WMiFS: added -display commandline option
* WMiFS: added -w commandline option, this will
draw the graph in our new 'waveform' look :)
* WMiFS: fixed the coredump problems that occured
on some systems with or without .wmifsrc file
typo's, errors, etc. in the .wmifsrc file are
now also being ignored/rejected, the worst
thing that can happen now is that the scripts
do not execute (i.e. luser error) ;-)
* WMiFS: when monitoring a ppp interface, bytes
are used to draw the graph, otherwise packets
* WMiFS: made the RX/TX/Status LED box identical
to the one in WMPPP, the right LED is the status
LED, green means interface is working, red means
error (interface down, NIC broken, etc.)
