2014-05-25 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * Juggled build infrastructure so that we can make the minimal man page in the proper autotools way. * configure.ac: version to 1.0.8. 2014-04-28 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * We now run against, and require, guile-2.0. * configure.ac: version to 1.0.7. 2012-02-04 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * main.scm: added search for initial files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cron directory, defaulting to ~/.config/cron if the environment variable is not set) as well as in ~/.cron directory (this is in line with the current FreeDesktop.org standards). 2010-06-13 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * configure.ac: added --enable-no-vixie-clobber argument to configure so that the root user can avoid overwriting a legacy cron installation. * mcron.1: added simple, minimal man page using help2man (the texinfo file is still the primary documentation source). * makefile.am: replaced use of mkinstalldirs with install; the former is not supplied with the latest automake (1.11). 2008-02-21 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * ALL FILES: Replaced version 2 GPL notices with version 3 ones. * makefile.am: Do not remove COPYING file with make maintainer-clean; if you do it will eventually get replaced with the old version 2 GPL by a subsequent automake. * configure.ac: Bumped version to 1.0.4. 2008-01-25 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * main.scm (command-type): Files which are listed on the command line are assumed to be guile configurations if they do not end in .guile or .vixie (previously they were silently ignored). * main.scm: Argument to --schedule is no longer optional (the options system goes really screwy with optional values, usually pulling the first non-option argument as a value if one was not intended!) * makefile.am: Moved target-specific CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to global AM_* variables, to remove problem with automake requiring AM_PROGS_CC_C_O in configure.ac (!) * Version is currently at 1.0.3. 2005-09-02 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * makefile.am, mcron.c.template (main): Modified install-exec-hook so that a proper installation of a Vixie-compatible cron only takes place if we are root - otherwise only mcron is installed as a user-owned program. The guile modules are now installed under mcron's shared data directory, not guile's global directories. * mcron-core.scm: Removed job:advance-time, put the code inline where it was called, and changed the instance in the main loop to compute the new time based on the current-time, rather than the previous job time (this makes things behave more reasonably when a laptop awakes from suspend mode). * Bumped version to 1.0.2. 2004-05-15 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * Modified all auxiliary files to reflect that the package is now properly homed at www.gnu.org. * Bumped version to 1.0.1. 2003-12-11 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * Modified all auxiliary files to reflect that we are now a GNU package. * Bumped version to 1.0.0. 2003-12-07 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * configure.ac: Added switches for files and directories used by mcron: --spool-dir, --socket-file, --allow-file, --deny-file, --pid-file and --tmp-dir. All the code has been modified to use these configure options (including the source for the texinfo manual). 2003-12-05 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * configure.ac: Added test for guile version >= 1.6.4. * bumped version to 0.99.4. 2003-08-03 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * Third cut, fully functional, modular, production quality, still needs testing... * Pulled all functionality into modules, so it can be incorporated into other programs. * Bumped version to 0.99.3. 2003-07-20 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * Second cut, now _really_ fully functional (100% Vixie compatible), production quality code, still needs lots of testing doing... * Converted from SIGUP-/var/cron/update to select-/var/cron/socket method of communication between crontab and cron. * Added implicit job which checks every minute for updates to /etc/crontab. * Removed --enable-vixie configuration option - the Vixie programs are built and installed by default now. * Bumped version to 0.99.2. 2003-06-28 Dale Mellor <dale_mellor@users.sourceforge.net> * First cut, fully functional, production quality code, just needs testing... * Broken/incomplete Guile prevents vixie compatibility from working - this has been disabled by default in the configuration. * Version set at 0.99.1 ________________________________________________________________________________ Copyright (C) 2003, 2005, 2006, 2014 Dale Mellor Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice and this notice are preserved.
