Hey, Emacs, we're -*-Text-*- mode!

Version 1.10 alpha version

Some enhancements to libftvt. Small fixes to testsuite.

Version 1.09

Bug fixed: ftformat was broken w.r.t. 120MB cartridges when the header
segment could not be read.

Bug fixed: vtblc now can handle cartridges with more than 2^16
segments.

Limited support for UTID, XTBL and  EXVT volume table entries. EXVT is
recognized, but the volume table overflow extension is not used.

vtblc is able to print the bad sector map (-b switch).

Version 1.08
Nothing new. Just a `stable' release.

Version 1.07.4 (still to-be-1.08)
Use new MTIOCFTMODE ioctl to switch to and from raw mode, instead of
using different tape devices.

Version 1.07.3 (to be 1.08)
ftape-tool.tcl can now be used with wish8.0. vtblc now can handle
short volume tables. ftformat detects the FT_CANT_FORMAT flag in the
vendor struct. ftformat now handles "--verify-only" with tape drives
which do not support formatting, and has a "--print-header" switch to
dump the contents of the header segment in a readable form.

New ftape volume table library "libftvt", based on Albrecht Gebhardt's
"libvtblc". For use with e.g. Amanda.

Version 1.07
Fix some little bugs in ftape-tool.tcl and added two more tape
operations buttons

Version 1.06
Bug fix. Need to reset the tape driver after running tests so that the
driver can be unloaded.

Added contrib/Linux/ subdirectory with kernel patches from the ftape
kernel driver distribution.

Version 1.05
Polished up the README file, `configure --help' now lists ALL
available options.

`ftmt' and `vtblc' have been given a DejaGnu testsuite. The tests are
destructive in the sense that one needs a spare cartridge which will
be erased (beside other things ...) by the tests.

Don't include too many pre-formatted documentation into the
package. TeX and dvips should be available on virtually any Linux box.

Version 1.04
Fix a bug in src/ftape-tools/ftape-contents.tcl

Version 1.03
Add documentation. Fix swapout so that it works again. Remove global tests/ directory, add a dejagnu test for swapout.

Version 1.02
Fixed the automake and friends layout. ftape-tool has been split into
smaller pieces

Version 1.01
This is the initial release. These utilities used to be contained in
the ftape-3.x distribution itself. No more NEWS yet.
