Version 0.8 Feb 9th, 1999
=========================
First release

Version 0.81 Feb 10th, 1999
===========================
Fixed embarassing typo which stopped speaker from beeping

Version 0.9 March 2nd, 1999
=========================== 
'I'm up now' alarm tempo is now a third the tempo of a normal alarm.
Added 'syslog = yes|no' option to sample.conf to disable syslogging
Added automatic forking into background. also prints out PID and rcfile
  being used on startup, as well as when you try to start it again.
Removed 'email = yes|no' from rcfile. same behaviour is achieved by not
  specifying any people to email
'defaultpause = x' in rcfile changed to 'beeppause = x', and can now
  be specified as a float value, instead of only integers.
You can now specify multiple connections(!). This changes the format of a
  portion of the rcfile. Make sure you read the README and manpage for details
  on its use.
nettest now detects if it is already running.
Updated manpage and related documentation. 

Version 1.0 March 12th, 1999
===========================
Fixed a bug which caused nohupping the program when a connection was
  to reset the downtime for those connections.
Made changes to ping code so that the program no longer relies on an 
  external ping program. This also means that the second we receive a
  succesfull packet, we consider that success instead of continuing to
  ping the connection. (ie. a connection that is up only gets pinged once)
Fixed bug where nohupping the connection when a connection was down caused
  it to take the 'connection is down' action even though it had already
  done so.
No longer use external 'echo' command for beeping - Now print to console 
  directly.
Added 'admin' and 'adminaddy' for the from name and address for outgoing mail.
Added 'subject' for the subject of the outgoing message
Added 'mailhost' for the host to send email to.
Eliminated dependency on 'mail', now do it internally.
Added 'logpoint' which allows you to choose a seperate syslog point for logging
  (example: mail)
Added default settings for (almost) all rcfile options.
Made some constants variables, for easy finetuning of some internal behaviours.
Support for 'screaming' if the connection has been down too long through
  the 'screamtime' rc variable 
Rework of the documentation

Version 1.1 April 28th
----------------------
Fixed bug where on some systems $pingnumber was actually the timeout (unknown
  as to whether it ever actually worked)
Fixed brutal bug that caused nettest to crash (introduced in v1.0)

added $retrytime variable in script. If greater than 0 uses that for the
  'sleeptime'. The thinking is that when the connection goes down, you want 
  to test the connection more often to see if it is up. When connection comes
  back up, goes back to testing it every $sleeptime seconds. 
Tinkered with the mail sending stuff, may still be a little buggy. Let me know.
  Appears to work fine with Qmail and local LAN. 

Changes to install documentation

Version 1.2 Jun 25th
====================
Changed beep code so it doesn't print a carriage return to console on every
  beep
Changed the formatting of the date string, which was apparently causing
  trouble with some mailreaders
Added the variable '$timezone' to the script, which allows you to alter
  your timezone for the mailheader. Default is -0600
Added support for changing the ping timeout in the config file. Usefull
  for slow connections.

Version 1.3 Dec 5th
=====================
Rearranged code so pausing worked better, with more immediate action on
  connection down/up.
Changed beeping code so take longer to register a connection as 'up'. It now
  tests an entire connection twice before returning true. This stops 'false 
  uptimes' where it would report a connection as up when it was only so for 
  a very short time.
  (total time = numberofconnections*numberoftests*timeout*2)
