-===========
-
-	* We have some new ``suffix rules'':
-
-	  '__l' is a function defined in the client part;
-	  '__s' is a function defined in the sysdeps part and
-	  '__p' is a function that needs special priviledges.
-	  '__r' is mapped either on '__p' or on '__s'.
-	  the function without suffix is mapped on '__l'.
-
-	* We now decide at runtime whether or not using the server
-	is required for a particular function. All user programs
-	now call the '__l' function defined in '-lgtop' (in the lib
-	subdir). These functions either use 'glibtop_call__l' to
-	call the server or call the '__r' function.
-
-	* A function in the sysdeps directory now has the '__s' suffix
-	if it do not need any priviledges (and thus can be called directly
-	from client code) and the '__p' suffix otherwise (when it has to
-	be called from the server).
-
-	* If you call one of these functions:
-
-	  -> use the '__p' suffix to be sure to get the SUID-safe one
-	     (used in the server).
-	  -> use the '__s' suffix to be sure to get a function that
-	     doesn't need any priviledges.
-	  -> use the '__r' suffix otherwise (it is mapped either on the
-	     '__p' or on the '__s' one).
-
-	Only use the '__p' and '__s' functions in a 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
-	conditional, otherwise you'll get undefined symbols !
-
-	* The server is now started from 'glibtop_init__r', but only when
-	it's really needed; for instance on DEC OSF/1 you only need it
-	for the proc* features - if you program only fetches the CPU usage,
-	now server will be started.
-
-	* Sorry, at the moment everything is a little bit unstable, I'm doing
-	heavy changes. I've just some great ideas which still need some work:
-
-	  -> I want to have a SUID server that only implements those features
-	     that need to be SUID; everything else uses the sysdeps code directly.
-
-	  -> If a program only uses stuff that do not need the server, the
-	     server will not be started at all.
-
-	  -> I'm working on some kind of proxy server that can be used on a remote
-	     host; in feature one can then use the MDI stuff from ghex in gtop to
-	     have notebook pages displaying processes from different hosts.
-
-	* Well it is as much unstable that it only works under Linux at the moment.
-
-1998-06-01  Martin Baulig  <martin@home-of-linux.org>
-
-	* sysdeps/common/sysdeps.c: now using '__r' functions,
-	they are #defined either as the '__p' or the '__s' ones.
-
-	* sysdeps/linux/*.c: changed call of 'glibtop_init__r',
-	it now takes two additional arguments.
-
-	* examples/{first.c, second.c}: now using 'glibtop_init'
-	instead of 'glibtop_init__r'.
-
-	* include/glibtop/sysdeps.h: added 'dummy' member so
-	'GLIBTOP_SYSDEPS_<feature>' now start with 1.
-
-	* include/glibtop/*.h: we now #define 'glibtop_get_<feature>'
-	as 'glibtop_get_<feature>__l' and 'glibtop_get_<feature>__r'
-	either as the '__p' or the '__s' function.
-
-	* lib/*.c: removed #if's - we now decide at runtime
-	whether to use the server or to call the appropriate
-	function for the sysdeps directory.
-
-1998-05-28  Martin Baulig  <baulig@merkur.uni-trier.de>
-
-	* src/server/main.c: we now use the '__p' functions,
-	but only if the appropriate 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
-	has a non-zero value.
-	
-	* configure.in (@machine_incs@): always use 
-	`-I$(top_srcdir)/sysdeps/@sysdeps_dir@'; it's no
-	longer conditional.
-
-	* examples/Makefile.am: removed the '_linux' examples.
-	
-	* sysdeps/linux/*.c: renamed all functions implementing
-	features to '__s'.
-	
-	* lib/*.c: renamed all functions implementing features
-	to '__l'; we only emit code for those functions if the
- 	corresponding 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>' has a positive value.
-	
-	* include/glibtop/*.h: added some new function suffixes:
-	'__l' is a function defined in the client part;
-	'__s' is a function defined in the sysdeps part and
-	'__p' is a function that needs special priviledges.
-	'__r' is mapped either on '__l' or on '__s'.
-	
-	* sysdeps/linux/glibtop_server.h: New file -
-	defines system dependent constants 'GLIBTOP_SUID_<feature>'
-	being either 'GLIBTOP_SYSDEPS_<feature>'+1 depending upon
- 	whether or not this feature requires using the server.
-
-	* lib/sysdeps.c: removed that file; it is no longer
-	needed.

-May/21/1998
-===========
-
-* doc/gnome-hackers.sgml: This is a short intro on how to use libgtop
-  in the GNOME project. It covers especially the use of its 'configure'
-  script and the automatically generated 'gtopConf.sh'.
-
-May/20/1998
-===========
-
-* 'gtopConf.sh' now defines 'GTOP_LIBS' and 'GTOP_INCS' in a manner
-  that they contain everything that is needed to link some program with
-  libgtop. It will use '-lgtop' only if the server is really needed and
-  '-lgtop_sysdeps' otherwise;
-
-* 'gtopConf.sh' additionally defines 'GTOP_GUILE_LIBS' and 'GTOP_GUILE_INCS'
-  containing everything that is needed to link some program both with
-  libgtop and its guile interface. They are identically to 'GTOP_LIBS'
-  and 'GTOP_INCS' if building the guile interface is disabled or guile
-  cannot be found on the system.
-
-* 'configure' takes additional arguments '--enable-libgtop-server' and
-  '--disable-libgtop-server' to use the server even when it's not needed
-  or to disable it's use where it's needed.
-
-* 'configure' takes an argument '--without-libgtop-guile' to disable
-  guile support.
-
-* 'configure takes an argument '--without-libgtop-names' to remove
-  '-lgtop_names' (and '-lgtop_guile_names' when we have guile) from
-  'GTOP_LIBS'; in this case these libraries are not even built.
-
-May/19/1998
-===========
-
-* Libgtop is now in the GNOME CVS Repository.
-
-May/17/1998
-===========
-
-* we have now 'const char *glibtop_types_* []' consisting
-  of the C types of the corresponding files of '_glibtop_*'.
-
-* added guile function '(glibtop-types-*)' and '(glibtop-descriptions-*)'.
-
-May/10/1998
-===========
-
-* Port to DEC OSF1 3.0 has been made:
-
-  cpu		(total, user, nice, sys, idle)
-  mem		(total, used, free)
-
-  loadavg	(loadavg)
-  uptime	(uptime)
-
-  msg_limits	(map, max, mnb, mni, tql)
-  sem_limits	(mni, msl, opm, vmx, aem)
-  shm_limits	(max, min, mni, seg)
-
-  The following need the server to be SUID root:
-
-  proclist	(total, number, size)
-  procdata	(cmd, state, uid, pid, ppid, pgrp, tty, k_flags,
-		 session, tpgid, sigignore, sigcatch, signal, nice, 
-		 priority, resident, rss, vsize, utime, stime,
-		 cutime, cstime, trs, drs)
-
-May/07/1998
-===========
-
-* 'flags' member of sysdeps/linux/procdata.c is now
-  'unsigned long flags [2]'.
-
-* When we give glibtop_get_procdata () a pid of zero, only
-  the flags are returned.
-
-* We now use static constants instead of #defines for sysdeps flags.
-
-May/03/1998
-===========
-
-* VPATH-Build now working; sometimes it's necessary to copy
-  $(top_srcdir)/po/cat-id-tbl.c to $(top_builddir)/po.
-
-* The library has been tested on the following systems:
-
-  - i686-pc-linux-gnu
-  - sparc-sun-sunos4.1.1
-  - alpha-dec-osf1 (that's DEC OSF1 3.0 and 3.2)
-
-* Compilation has been tested on the following systems (I have no root
-  access there and cannot test the library because of this):
-
-  - sparc-sun-solaris2
-  - i386-bsdi
-
-* Does no longer require Gnome.
-
-* Guile-Parts are compiled only if guile can be found.
-
-* Some of the executables are statically linked to copy them more easily
-  between machines.
-
-May/02/1998
-===========
-
- * Global changes to the interfaces, all functions except glibtop_open()
-   and glibtop_close() that took a server argument have now a '__r' suffix;
-   the original name is now a macro that uses glibtop_global_server.
-
-Apr/10/1998
-===========
-Added new directory sysdeps/guile/names. It is the guile interface
-to the gtop_names library found in sysdeps/names. Changed
-GLIBTOP_DESCRIPTIONS to GLIBTOP_NAMES and added GLIBTOP_GUILE_NAMES
-to the header files.
-
-Apr/09/1998
-===========
-Added new directories guile and names to sysdeps. In names are
-some string constants about the data stored in the structures.
-guile is a guile interface for the library. It is used in
-examples/third (which has been completely rewritten).
-The header files define things from names when GLIBTOP_DESCRIPTIONS
-if defined and/or from guile when HAVE_GUILE is defined.
-
-Apr/08/1998
-===========
-
-Added guile wrapper for the library (see examples/third).

-This is LibGTop 0.99.2,
-
-a feature-freezed version of LibGTop for GNOME 1.0.
-
-You need to use the latest version of LibGTop from CVS for Gnome, it will

-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-NOTE:  LibGTop is already feature-freezed for GNOME 1.0, so only bug fixes
-       are ok, no API changes !
-
-Sysdeps directory 'linux':
-==========================
-
-* Add implementation for `ppp' with modems.
-
-Sysdeps directory 'freebsd':
-============================
-
-* FreeBSD 3.0: It works fine on this system, so please make sure not
-               to break it here.
-
-* FreeBSD 2.2: Make sure it still works here.
-
-* NetBSD/OpenBSD: Support was added on Dec 6, but we need to check
-                  whether all data are valid.
-
-Sysdeps directories 'kernel', 'osf1' and 'sun4':
-================================================
-
-* You need to use the `--enable-hacker-mode' parameter to configure
-  to build this directories.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Everything except sysdeps directories:
-======================================
-
-* Ready for Gnome 1.0. [ALREADY FEATURE FREEZED]
