 Major changes for release strtty-0.9.2.1
-----------------------------------------

This is the first separate release from `The OpenSS7 Project' of the
`OpenSS7 STREAMS Terminals' package.  This package provides `pts' and
`ptm' pseudo-terminal drivers, as well as an `ldterm' module.
Additional modules are the `ptem', `ttcompat' and `pckt' modules.  The
package contains all the necessary manual pages and other documentation
for terminal and pseudo-terminal components in a separate autoconf
tarball.

This release is the initial public release.

   - In this inital release, the package already supports a wide range
     of production distributions as it uses the same build environment
     as other OpenSS7 Project packages.

   - Support for most recent 2.6.18 kernels (including Fedora Core 5
     with inode diet patchset).

_This is the initial public alpha release of the package.  Please see
`README-alpha' in the release, or `Maturity', in the manual._

This is the inital public alpha release of the package.  This package is
currently incomplete.  It is being released as a reference point for the
community.  If you are interested in completion of this package, contact
<info@openss7.com>.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6
RPM-based or dpkg-based distributions, and can be used on production
kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public License
Version 2'.  The release is available as an `autoconf' tarball, SRPM,
DSC, and set of binary RPMs or DEBs.  See the download page
(http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the `autoconf' tarballs,
SRPMs and DSCs.  See the strtty package page
(http://www.openss7.org/strtty_pkg.html) for tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and
binary RPMs or DEBs.

See `http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strtty-0.9.2.1/ChangeLog' and
`http://www.openss7.org/codefiles/strtty-0.9.2.1/NEWS' in the release
for more information.  Also, see the `strtty.pdf' manual in the release
(also in html `http://www.openss7.org/strtty_manual.html').
