+ Thanks to Alexander Shaduri for the problem report.
+
+ [CF] smartd: Don't ignore the '-n' directive when a self-test is

+
+ [BA] Fix smartctl bug: when running in silent mode '-q errorsonly'
+ do not print the Selective Self-test log. Any errors will
+ ALREADY appear in the SMART Self-test log.
+
+ [CF] Add missing 'const' and other minor fixes to prevent gcc warnings.
+
+ [OB] Added information message about supported Areca firmware versions.
+ It's displayed in case the ATA device identification fails.
+
+ [CF] Add configuration file for Doxygen.
+
+ [CF] Add new object oriented interface to access ATA and SCSI devices.
+ smartctl and smartd are modified to use the new classes in
+ 'dev_interface.{h,cpp}'. The template class in 'dev_tunnelled.h'
+ is used in 'scsiata.cpp'. The code in 'dev_ata_cmd_set.{h,cpp}'
+ supports migration from old function 'ata_command_interface()'.
+ All existing 'os_*.cpp' modules should still work without any changes.
+ The required adapter classes from 'dev_legacy.cpp' are automatically
+ added by configure if necessary.
+
+ [BA] Updated smartd and smartctl and smartd.conf man-page documentation
+ to reflect support for Areca SATA RAID controller cards.
+
+ [OB] Added support for Areca controllers to smartd. Extensive tests
+ as well as documentation are still pending however.
+
+ [OB] Implemented device locking for Areca controllers in smartctl
+
+ [BA] Fixed selective self-test code. Data structure revision number
+ may be != 1 if no selective self-test has ever been run. Host
+ MUST set this value (at least at the first selective self-test
+ instance). Thanks to Curtis Stevens of WDC for clarification.
+
+ [MC] usbcypress autodetection
+
+ [BA] Starting to commit Areca code. For now just smartctl.
+ More changes and documentation coming soon.
+ Need Areca firmware version 1.45 dated 10 June 2008 or later.
+ May need changes in opening /dev/sg and file locking.
+ Many thanks to Hank Wu!
+
+ [CF] smartd: Fix too small name buffer for 3ware with >100 devices.
+
+ [JH] now C++ Support for QNX Target
+ already tested for QNX 6.3.2 on x86 and armle target
+
+ [CF] Allow to set BUILD_INFO from make command line.
+
+ [CF] Windows: Add MSVC8 support, remove MSVC6 project files.
+
+ [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartd.
+
+ [CF] Add output of latest CVS date/time stamp to version info.
+ New file cvsversion.h is generated by Makefile.
+ Move formatting of version info to utility.cpp.
+
+ [AR] Fix bug in 3ware node creation where nodes would be created
+ then deleted, then recreated.
+
+ [BA] Add missing CCISS cvs version tags to '-V' printouts.
+
+ [TS] Linux: Ensure the 3ware device nodes are created with a correct
+ SELinux security context.
+
+ [AR] Add support for up to 128 devices on 3ware controllers.
+
+ [CF] C++: Added new main() with exception handlers, replaced
+ exit(x) with throw(x), removed global variable 'exitstatus'.
+ Necessary for future changes, because exit() does not call
+ any destructors.
+
+ [SS] FreeBSD: plug file descriptor leak in smartd (only happens with
+ CISS devices). Reported by Vadim Ostranitsyn.
+
+ [SS] FreeBSD: allow smartctl to interact with SCSI /dev/pass devices,
+ thus enabling it to work with RAID controllers that expose disks
+ via these devices. From scottl@ via FreeBSD ports.
+
+ [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartctl.
+
+ [KS] INSTALL on Solaris: updated description to use C++ compiler.
+
+ [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added options for Sun's compiler to
+ suppress trivial warnings.
+
+ [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added direction to search suitable
+ libraries for getaddrinfo().
+
+ [TS] smartd on Linux: remove forgotten return from deviceopen();
+ SCSI device descriptors had the FD_CLOEXEC flag unset.
+
+ [CF] Added 'const' to avoid warning on depreciated string constant
+ to 'char *' conversion.
+
+ [CF] autogen.sh: automake 1.10.1 is OK. Updated message texts.
+
+ [BA] removed smartmontools.spec file (now in CVS Attic). This
+ was not being used by RH or FC anyhow, and was out of
+ date and not maintained.
+
+ [BA] smartd on Linux: sets FD_CLOEXEC on the opened device file
+ descriptor. The descriptor is otherwise leaked to other
+ applications (mail sender) which may be considered a security
+ risk and may result in AVC messages on SELinux-enabled systems.
+ Thanks to: Tomá Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.
+
+ [BA] smartd: when sending email, to gather information about the
+ host for the body of the email, eliminate gethostbyname()
+ in favor of the IPv6-friendly function getaddrinfo() if the
+ latter is available. Info may be found here
+ http://udrepper.livejournal.com/16116.html
+ and here
+ http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html
+ Thanks to: Tomá Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.
+
+ Smartmontools developers: please check that smartd still LINKS
+ properly on your systems.
+
+ [BA] Fix ugly syntax bug in os_freebsd.cpp. How did this go
+ undetected for so long??
