       by local variables.

  [CF] Simplify '-v' vendor attribute option parsing.
       Add '-v 197,increasing' and '-v 198,increasing' options
       to specifiy that an uncorrectable count is never reset.
       This modifies the printed attribute names and smartd's
       default setting of '-C' and '-U' directives.
       Both '-v' options can also be preset in the drive database.

  [CF] Windows: Provide a non-console version of smartctl.exe
       as smartctl-nc.exe. This prevents that a new console is
       opened when smartctl is run from a GUI program with
       stdio redirected.
       Used by GSmartControl (http://gsmartcontrol.berlios.de/).

  [CF] Remove support for platforms without getopt_long() in
       smartctl.cpp and smartd.cpp. If getopt_long() is missing,
       ./configure aborts with an explanatory message.
       For now, short option help texts are only removed from
       os_linux.cpp and os_win32.cpp. HAVE_GETOPT_LONG is still

       now works on XP (both '-d sat,12' and '-d sat,16').

  [MS] knowndrives.cpp updates:
       - Added Western Digital RE2-GP family
       - Added Hitachi Travelstar E5K160 family
       - Allow uppercase variants of Hitachi 5K160 drives

  [DG] Accept half healthy (and half unhealthy) indication from the
       SMART RETURN STATUS. This makes allowance for SAT implementations
       (e.g. via USB) that truncate the SCSI sense buffer to 18 bytes.
       This truncation causes the SMART RETURN STATUS indication to be
       half health or unhealthy. If the half indication is used, then
       warn if '-r ioctl' is given.

       16 bits seem to be meaningful). Clip the display to 16 bits
       and show the remaining part, if existent, in parens. Patch by [CF].

  [CF] smartd DEVICESCAN: Fix autodetection of SAT devices.
       Thanks to Stanislav Brabec for bug report and testing.

  [MS] knowndrives.cpp update:
       Convert file to full string regex: remove "^$" from pattern

       ('-s' option) by default.

  [CF] smartd: Add '-s ([cnr]/../.././..)' directive to run scheduled
       selective self-tests. Useful to perform full tests of large disks
       not running 24x7.

  [CF] Allow to read local drive database entries from optional file
       '${sysconfdir}/smart_drivedb.h'.
       Add configure options '--enable-drivedb' and '--with-drivedbdir=DIR'.
       If specified, drive database is read from '${drivedbdir}/drivedb.h'.
       (default '${prefix}/share/smartmontools/drivedb.h'). This file
       is build from knowndrives.cpp.

  [MS] knowndrives.cpp updates:
       - Added 640GB variants of Western Digital AAKS and AACS drives
       - Added Western Digital AV ATA family

       - Added 500GB variant of Hitachi 7K1000
       - Some cleanup for Quantum disks
       - Added Seagate Maxtor DiamondMax 22 family

  [CF] Use full string match for regexp in drive database.

  [CF] Add option '-d sat+TYPE' to use SAT with controllers which
       require option '-d TYPE'. Should work with '-d sat+megaraid,N'.
       As a side effect, '-d usbcypress+TYPE' is also supported.

  [CF] Add parser to read drive database from a file. Add '-B' option
       to smartctl and smartd to specify database file name. File syntax
       is identical to the C/C++ syntax used to inialize the internal
       database array.

  [CF] New syntax for drive database: Specify presets by strings
       with '-v' and '-F' options. Use empty strings instead of NULL.

  [JPH] Added Linux support for viewing disks behind MegaRAID
  	controllers

  [CF] smartd: Improve min/max temperature recording in conjunction
       with '-s' option.

  [CF] Add a wrapper class for FILE *.

  [CF] smartd: Add experimental support for state persistence (ATA only).
       Add option '-s' to specify path prefix for state files.
       Rework scheduled self-test detection to support persistence.
       If any test schedules are within downtime, the highest priority
       test is run after next startup.

  [CF] Remove casts from 'format_ata_string()' calls.

  [CF] Minor changes to fix errors and warnings from Cygwin gcc 4.3.0.

  [CF] smartd: Remove SCSITIMEOUT code. According to smartd.h 1.54 CVS log
       from 2003-10-27, it did never work.

  [CF] Remove dependencies ataprint.cpp and scsiprint.cpp from smartd.
       Move common ATA functions from ataprint.cpp to atacmds.cpp.
       Module scsiprint.cpp was apparently never used in smartd.

  [CF] Move smartd local declarations from smartd.h and utility.h to
       smartd.cpp. Remove smartd.h.

  [CF] Fixed extra '\n' in "Offline data collection status" output.
       Thanks to Alexander Shaduri for the patch.

       Use references instead of pointers for configuration and state data.

  [CF] Add const-correctness and static to ATA support functions.

  [CF] Add a wrapper class for regex.

  [CF] Simplify 'create_vendor_attribute_arg_list()'.

  [CF] smartd: Rework of main data structures. Remove explicit memory
       allocations, use STL containers and structs with value semantics
       instead. Remove old malloc/free based memory management helper
       functions unless old interface is still in use.

  [CF] Linux: Cleanup device scan, remove name list, create objects directly.

  [CF] Linux: Cleanup smart_device::open(), type strings are no longer used.

       is still in use.

  [CF] Linux: Migrate 3ware interface to 'ata_pass_through()'.
       Multi-sector support is not complete yet. 48-bit commands
       possibly work.
       WARNING: Not tested, please review code before first test!

  [CF] Linux: Migrate os_linux.cpp to new interface.

  [CF] Add direct access to 16-bit registers in 'ata_in/out_regs_48bit'.

  [CF] Add 'ata_cmd_is_ok()' parameter check,
       remove 'ata_pass_through_28/48bit()' functions.

  [CF] Add CVS date/time from cvsversion.h to man pages also.

  [CF] Add configure option '--with-os-deps='os_module.o ...' to specify
       alternate OS interface modules. Useful for testing during migration.

  [CF] Remove declarations of 'optarg', 'optind', ..., include <unistd.h>
       instead. This fixes 'auto-importing' linker warnings on Cygwin.

  [CF] Add '-l sataphy[,reset]' to print SATA Phy Event Counters.

  [CF] Add '-l gplog,ADDR[,FIRST[-LAST|+SIZE]]' and '-l smartlog,...'
       to dump any log page accessible via GP or SMART read log commands.

  [CF] Enhance '-l directory' to print both GP and SMART Log directories.
       Add '-l directory[,gs]' modifiers to select GP or SMART log.
       Enhance 'ata_cmd_in' parameter struct for 48-bit commands.

  [BA] Fix smartctl bug: when running in silent mode '-q errorsonly'
       do not print the Selective Self-test log.  Any errors will
       ALREADY appear in the SMART Self-test log.

  [CF] Add missing 'const' and other minor fixes to prevent gcc warnings.

  [OB] Added information message about supported Areca firmware versions.
       It's displayed in case the ATA device identification fails.

  [CF] Add configuration file for Doxygen.

  [CF] Add new object oriented interface to access ATA and SCSI devices.
       smartctl and smartd are modified to use the new classes in
       'dev_interface.{h,cpp}'. The template class in 'dev_tunnelled.h'
       is used in 'scsiata.cpp'. The code in 'dev_ata_cmd_set.{h,cpp}'
       supports migration from old function 'ata_command_interface()'.
       All existing 'os_*.cpp' modules should still work without any changes.
       The required adapter classes from 'dev_legacy.cpp' are automatically
       added by configure if necessary.

  [BA] Updated smartd and smartctl and smartd.conf man-page documentation
       to reflect support for Areca SATA RAID controller cards.

  [OB] Added support for Areca controllers to smartd. Extensive tests
       as well as documentation are still pending however.

  [OB] Implemented device locking for Areca controllers in smartctl

  [BA] Fixed selective self-test code.  Data structure revision number
       may be != 1 if no selective self-test has ever been run.  Host
       MUST set this value (at least at the first selective self-test
       instance).  Thanks to Curtis Stevens of WDC for clarification.

  [MC] usbcypress autodetection

  [BA] Starting to commit Areca code.  For now just smartctl.
       More changes and documentation coming soon.
       Need Areca firmware version 1.45 dated 10 June 2008 or later.
       May need changes in opening /dev/sg and file locking.
       Many thanks to Hank Wu!

  [CF] smartd: Fix too small name buffer for 3ware with >100 devices.

  [JH] now C++ Support for QNX Target
       already tested for QNX 6.3.2 on x86 and armle target
   
  [CF] Allow to set BUILD_INFO from make command line.

  [CF] Windows: Add MSVC8 support, remove MSVC6 project files.

  [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartd.

  [CF] Add output of latest CVS date/time stamp to version info.
       New file cvsversion.h is generated by Makefile.
       Move formatting of version info to utility.cpp.

  [AR] Fix bug in 3ware node creation where nodes would be created
       then deleted, then recreated.

  [BA] Add missing CCISS cvs version tags to '-V' printouts.

  [TS] Linux: Ensure the 3ware device nodes are created with a correct
       SELinux security context.

  [AR] Add support for up to 128 devices on 3ware controllers.

  [CF] C++: Added new main() with exception handlers, replaced
       exit(x) with throw(x), removed global variable 'exitstatus'.
       Necessary for future changes, because exit() does not call
       any destructors.

  [SS] FreeBSD: plug file descriptor leak in smartd (only happens with
       CISS devices).  Reported by Vadim Ostranitsyn.

  [SS] FreeBSD: allow smartctl to interact with SCSI /dev/pass devices,
       thus enabling it to work with RAID controllers that expose disks
       via these devices.  From scottl@ via FreeBSD ports.

  [MC] Add usbcypress device support for smartctl.

  [KS] INSTALL on Solaris: updated description to use C++ compiler.

  [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added options for Sun's compiler to
       suppress trivial warnings.

  [KS] configure.in on Solaris: added direction to search suitable
       libraries for getaddrinfo().

  [TS] smartd on Linux: remove forgotten return from deviceopen();
       SCSI device descriptors had the FD_CLOEXEC flag unset.

  [CF] Added 'const' to avoid warning on depreciated string constant
       to 'char *' conversion.

  [CF] autogen.sh: automake 1.10.1 is OK. Updated message texts.

  [BA] removed smartmontools.spec file (now in CVS Attic).  This
       was not being used by RH or FC anyhow, and was out of
       date and not maintained.

  [BA] smartd on Linux: sets FD_CLOEXEC on the opened device file
       descriptor.  The descriptor is otherwise leaked to other
       applications (mail sender) which may be considered a security
       risk and may result in AVC messages on SELinux-enabled systems.
       Thanks to: Tom Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.

  [BA] smartd: when sending email, to gather information about the
       host for the body of the email, eliminate gethostbyname()
       in favor of the IPv6-friendly function getaddrinfo() if the
       latter is available.  Info may be found here
       http://udrepper.livejournal.com/16116.html
       and here
       http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html
       Thanks to: Tom Smetana" <tsmetana@redhat.com>.

       Smartmontools developers: please check that smartd still LINKS
       properly on your systems.

  [BA] Fix ugly syntax bug in os_freebsd.cpp.  How did this go
       undetected for so long??

SMARTMONTOOLS STABLE RELEASE 5.38 2008/03/10

  [KS] Solaris/x86: modified configure.in for Sun's compiler.

  [BA] smartd.initd.in addition from Erwan Velu <erwan@seanodes.com>
