  isdnrep: new option -S (summary)
  -lt

2000.08.09
  Reimplemted cdb based on the free cdb_0.61 from debian
  -lt <lt@toetsch.at>

2000.07.27

  The isdnlog/rep/rate have now a new default database. It is cdb
  (Constant DataBase from D. J. Bernstein <http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html>)

  If for some reason you don't want to use it, rename or remove
  the file /cdb/i4l_cdb.c, and run the procedure below.

  To use the new (or switch) datafiles do in subdir isdnlog:

    make clean
    cd ..
    make subconfig
    cd isdnlog
    make
    su -c "make install"

    Note: sometimes (after a small chhange in cdb) after leaving cdb,
          make shows an error
          "undefined reference to 'main'"
	  because $(PROGRAM) is lost in zone/Makefile, restarting make
	  then works. I don't know, what's goin on here - anyone?

    After installing them change the two .gdbm entries in
    /etc/isdn/isdn.conf to .cdb. You could also remove the *.gdbm in
    /usr/lib/isdn.

  The cdb data files are a lot smaller then the default gdbm we used,
  The database seems to be much faster too.

  all tools and rate-files

  R:prov, sub ; zonelist

  defines zone references. Zones are read from provider 'prov', subnummer
  'sub' (which has to be -1, if there is no subnumber). The referenced zones
  must be real zones (Z:-entries) not references themself.
  s. samples/rtest.dat for an example.

2000.05.06
  all tools and rate-files

  New syntax X:Numregexp=Provider['z'Zone] , ... Defines exceptions for
  numbers, which alwyas get serviced by a certain provider or for special
  charging models like "5 friends", where you pay less when dialing predefined
  numbers. For details on syntax please consult man rate-files, or
  rate-files.man befor installation.

  This feature requires, fnmatch.h and the function fnmatch. If your
  clib doesnt't have it, let me know.
  -lt

2000.04.27
  all tools:
    If you use the English country names or the NL cities you should
    rebuild you destintation database, there are more and corrected
    entries now.

    chdir to isdnlog/tools/dest
    and do
      $ make dataclean
      $ make data
    if you have a valid top level configuration
    or
      $ make alldata
    for including all known countries.
    Copy the resulting dest.gdbm to your isdn data dir (e.g. /usr/lib/isdn).

2000.02.28
  isdnrate.c:
    A isdnrate daemon restarts now on the SIGHUP signal.

1999.12.21
  rate.c:
    date-range for T:Tag s. man rate-files
    date-range for P:Tag replaces G:

  doc: moved isdnrate.man, rate-files.man to tools, fixes & updates
  telrate.cgi: tmp below telrate, workaround for NN bug with grafic
  zone, dest : new target dataclean in Makefile, clean doesn't del data anymore

1999.12.17
  all:
  renabled warnings to get clearer messages/responses from users
  to disable them do in
    isdnlog set logoptions, last nibble to 1 e.g. 0xf1
    isdnrate/rep don't start with -v (verbose)

  isdnrep:
    old option -v (print connections with errors) is now -E,
    -v is verbose now
    obsolete option -c removed

1999.12.14
  isdnrate:
    new option -O socket-file-name
    fixed SIGSEGV, when -P was not given with -D
  telrate.cgi:
    starts now automatically an isdnrate daemon, with configured options
    (s. also telrate/configure)

1999.12.01
  isdnrate:
    new option -P piddir

1999.11.30
  isdnrate:
    new option -s shows services
    e.g.
     isdnrate -s Internet

1999.11.28
  isdnrate:
    new option -o shows only booked providers

1999.11.08
  all utils:
  initRate reads now all provider-variants.
  Providers _must_ have a B:-Tag now in rate-CC.dat
  e.g.
    P:33
    B:01033

1999.11.07
  isdnrate
    new option Z (add LCR info)
    e.g.

      isdnrate -ZX 19430

  rate.c / getLeastCost
    if number is  a special number, this function looks at the service
    and performs LCR for all numbers listet in this service.
    So its possible now to find the cheapest online number / provider.

1999.10.21
  Destination DB runs with isdnrate / isdnlog
  Removed a lot of country-specific stuff in various files

  all
    new entries in isdn.conf section
      [ISDNLOG]
      DESTFILE=/usr/lib/isdn/dest.gdbm
      VBN=Providerselection-Prefix (DE 010, AT 10, NL 16:17)
      VBNLEN=Number of digits following VBN (DE 2:3, AT 2, NL 1 ??, FR 1)
      PRESELECTED=provider# (DE 33, AT 1, NL 999)
      s. isdnlog/samples or isdnlog/README

  isdnrep.c
     shows now zone names from rate-CC.dat

  isdnrate.c
    new option -N
      show info about number parsing
      e.g. isdnrate -N 1234 01234 001234 Dubai

1999.10.08
  started with tools/dest

1999.09.15

          (Datum der letzten Tarifwartung)

1999.09.05

    telrate.cgi:
      uses now gd 1.6.3, GD 1.21  with PNG instead of GIF
      (smaller, no licence troubles)

      requires
        gd 1.6.3 which
           requires
	      libz, libpng
	        (e.g. ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libz.so /usr/lib/libz.so
		    ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libpng.so /usr/lib/libpng.so
		    ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/png.h /usr/local/include/png.h
		    ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/pngconf.h /usr/local/include/pngconf.h
		)
    or from GD README
    Make sure you have downloaded and installed the following packages:

	a. Perl 5.004 or higher:
		http://www.perl.com/
	b. The gd graphics library, version 1.6.3 or higher:
		http://www.boutell.com/gd/
	c. The PNG graphics library:
		http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/
	d. The zlib compression library:
		http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/

    dann noch ein kleiner Patch in GD.c, weiss der Geier warum

    isdnrate.c:
      -p, -x take now an additional argument 'B'
      -pB ... show only business providers
      -xB ... don't show

      The provider is considered as a business-provider if the
      C:GT:-Tag contains the string "Business" (uppercase)

    holiday.c: holiday-CC.dat
    ...
      W:H	Feiertag
      W:*	Immer 		# APPEND THIS

    Hat ein Provider jeden Tag den gleichen Tarif (T:*/...) wird nun statt
    dem Wochentag 'Immer' ausgegeben. Damit ist eine klarere Unterscheidung
    zu Providern mit tagesabhaengigen Tarifen gegeben.

          Mindestens 0.30, sonst 2.20 per Minute

      aber:

      T:*.*=0.30/0,2.20(60/1
          0.30 + 2.20/Min (0.30 = Herstellungsgebühr)

    Vom telrate.cgi sind dzt. die Variablen
	'Ch' ... Kosten pro Mix
	'MaxCh' ... Teuerste Spalte im Mix
	'Cost' ... Angefallenen Kosten
    definiert.

    Ist der Rückgabewert (i.e. die letzte Expression) -1, wird der
    Provider verworfen (z.B. Mindestumsatz nicht erreicht).
