pilot-link 0.11.3 released, please upgrade



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1


	As some of you may have noticed, we released 0.11.2, and then
several hours later, released 0.11.3 of pilot-link, fixing a small bug in
the process, which was causing some issues with J-Pilot. 0.11.3 works
flawlessly with J-Pilot (so far, fingers crossed)

	libpisock has been incremented in this release, because we actually
changed the library somewhat, which may or may not affect applications
relying on it. Consider it "binary incompatible" with previous releases due
to this fact.

	I am targeting a 0.11.4 release for 2 weeks away from today, which
puts us at about August 23. If anyone has patches or features they'd like to
see, or bugs that have been found in 0.11.3, please get them to me directly
before that time, or file them in the bugtracker found online at:

	http://bugs.pilot-link.org

	Loose list of things planned/fixed for 0.11.4:
	---------------------------------------------
	- Fix the TCL autoconf macros (Larry Virden, can you help here?)
	- Add curses support to pilot-xfer's Backup/Fetch/Install/Sync
	  targets for a better visable output than a scrolling list. Remove
	  -q[uiet] and add -v[erbose] option (or leave -q and add -v, not
	  sure yet)
	- Fix do_rom tests in pilot-xfer.c
	- More manpages, clean up existing documentation
	- pilot-datebook comments, indenting
	- Figure out the read-notepad issue with OS3.5x devices as reported
	  in bug #0000240
	- Add --with-png=$(PNG_PREFIX) to configure.in to allow specifying a
	  different path for libpng.
	- Fix the Java issue found in bug #0000246 (David Goodenough, can
	  you help here?)
	- Add missing legacy DLP 1.2 calls

	pilot-link 0.11.3 is currently the latest stable release, and you
are STRONGLY encouraged to upgrade to this version. Many things have been
fixed, but here's a quick rundown:

0.11.3
- ------
	User Updates
	------------
	- Reverted a previous pilot-xfer option that overwrote the existing
	  line during a backup. Curses will be dropped into here soon to
	  more finitely control this.

	Development Updates
	-------------------
	- Fixed a missing dlpErrIllegalReq in pi-dlp.h that caused problems
	  with J-Pilot

0.11.2
- ------
	User Updates
	------------
	- install-todos -f didn't work at all in 0.11, fixed.
	- pilot-addresses didn't import the right csv format, fixed.
	- pilot-xfer now has a more "usable" backup style, and the -q option
	  now does something useful (this will be changing in the near
	  future, enabling curses to control the backup "windowing")
	- First pass at native FreeBSD support from Anish Mistry (we need
	  testers!)
	- Updated the manpages and fixed some typos in the source
	  documentation

	Development Updates
	-------------------
	- ReadDBList was returning an incorrect value, confusing J-Pilot,
	  fixed.
	- TCL version test was incorrect in ./confiure.in, fixed. There are
	  other issues with detecting TCL/TK/iTCL which will be addressed
	  and appear in a later version.
	- pi-addresses.h had an incorrect field ordering which caused the
	  ouput csv to be incompatible with the record format, fixed.
	- Updates to allow pilot-link to build under BSD/OS 4.3 (Jeffrey C
	  Honig)

	I want to also express my thanks and appreciation for everyone who
has been helping with these releases. Without your help testing, debugging,
sending in patches, filing bugs, and generally helping out in whatever ways
you can, we'd never be able to make these rapid releases like this. Thanks
again to everyone who has jumped onboard and helped out.

	I'm off to a triathlon for a few days, so I won't be responding to
email, but I'll catch up when I get back. Test test test!
