Changes to WvDial since the initial release:

0.41 (1998 05 16)
----
 - Now works better with pppd 2.3.x: you don't need "noauth" in
	/etc/ppp/options.  Set the option "New PPPD = yes" in wvdial.conf.
 - Cleaned up some compile problems with the egcs compiler.
 - Longer delay between TERMinating and KILLing pppd.


0.40 (1998 04 19)
----
 - WvDial now aborts a connection sequence if it sees that the modem has
	dropped carrier.  You can disable this with the "Carrier Check" config
	file option.
 - Boolean (on/off) options in wvdial.conf can now be set to 1/0,
	on/off, yes/no, and true/false.
 - Much cleaner prompt detection code.  Now wvdial can understand any of the
 	following menu formats:
 		1. Start PPP
 		(1) Start PPP
 		[1] Start PPP
 		Press (1) for PPP
 		whack 1 - PPP
 		If you press "1", you get PPP.
 - An all-new "stupid mode" disables prompt responses entirely and just runs
	pppd immediately when you connect, using PAP.  This is for (you
	guessed it) "stupid" ISP's that give a login: prompt but don't let
	you actually log in, but work fine anyway if you just use PAP.  Just
	set "Stupid Mode = yes" in wvdial.conf.
 - Up to 9 different init strings, via the config options Init1 through Init9.
 - Change your dial prefix and dial command separately from the phone number,
	possibly even in a separate [Dialer] section of wvdial.conf.  WvDial
	now dials the modem like this:
		"Dial Command" "Dial Prefix" "Phone"
	Where by default, "Dial Command" is ATDT and "Dial Prefix" is blank.
 - Didn't update the manpages, again.
 

0.31 (1998 03 15)
----
 - WvDial would segfault for some people if pppd died.  Thanks to
	<davidw@cks.com> and <dsb3@earthlink.net> for pointing this out.
	The problem was caused by referring to WvDialer::modem after it
	had been deleted after a disconnect.
 - Debian package no longer redirects pon/poff to pon.wvdial/poff.wvdial; it
 	was too dangerous and done incorrectly.  Also changed postinst to
 	only create wvdial.conf at the "configuration" phase of
 	installation.
 - Included a fix from <dsb3@earthlink.net> to search for ISP "welcome"
 	messages and avoid the 5-second "don't know what to do" delay.  The
 	implementation of this may change later.
 - WvDial now isn't quite as eager to respond to login prompts; it waits
 	100ms first.  That way, if a server prints several login prompts in
 	a row, wvdial won't try to answer all of them.


0.30 (1998 03 07)
----
 - We now use the modem's carrier detect to notice when, during login, the
	connection has dropped.
 - login and password prompt override, with the "Login Prompt" and
	"Password Prompt" options.
 - Some fixes to prompt detection: "sign*on" is detected, and "~" doesn't
	count as a prompt string.  We don't do blank-line prompts yet since
	they're still a bit suspicious.
 - Added --help and --version command-line options.
 - We now warn when you specify a non-existent wvdial.conf section on the
	command line.
 - Some minor changes to the output display.


0.25 (1998 02 14)
----
 - wvdial now has a mailing list!  Send a message (subject: subscribe) to
	wvdial-list-request@worldvisions.ca if you want to get in on all the
	latest action.  All new releases will be announced here.
 - Added support for pppd 2.3.x, by editing pap-secrets instead of using the
	"deprecated" +ua option.  This unfortunately means that you will
	need to run wvdial as root at least the first time after you
	set/change your password in /etc/wvdial.conf.  (The +ua option was
	removed from pppd for security reasons, and most people agree that
	setting a PPP password is an "administrative" task to be done by
	root.)
 - You can now supply an arbitrary number of config file sections on the
	wvdial command line and wvdial will take options out of them in
	order.  For example: "wvdial uwaterloo quiet" might take the phone
	number from the [Dialer uwaterloo] section, the init string from the
	[Dialer Quiet] section, and the rest of the information from the
	[Dialer Defaults] section.
 - Removed various unneeded files from the source tree.  Some of it was
	Linux-specific, and getting compiled for no reason.  WvDial should
	_hopefully_ build with very few changes on other systems, now.
 - "&c0" init string problem fixed -- "CLOCAL" mode should have been enabled
	in wvmodem.cc.


0.20 (1997 12 21)
----
 - Debian package now uses debhelper instead of debmake.
 - Much-improved WvLog class produces cleaner and more readable screen
	output. (And provides room to grow into nice features like syslog.)
 - Simplified WvDialer class by using the new WvLog stuff, fixing several
 	bugs in the process.
 - Much better prompt detection / response, now officially tested at least
	once.
 - Slightly better ppp negotiation string detection.  It's still stupid, but
	it works.
 - Thanks to Stephen P. Molnar <smolnar@postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu> for
	noticing some horrible bugs in the config file parser, which may
	now be fixed.
 - The return code of pppd is now reported correctly.


0.12 (1997 12 18)
----
 - Quick change to search /dev/ttyI* (ISDN) as well as /dev/ttyS*.  This MAY
	be all that's necessary to support ISDN... but we're probably not
	so lucky.  Let us know!


0.11
----
 - Tiny fix to rules.mk in the source code archive so that non-Debian
	(actually, non-bash2) users can compile WvDial.
