+24May03=======================================================================
+1. Added more french translations from Robert (HB9BZA) and we now have some
+french help as well (also from Robert). A splendid effort. Thank you.
+16May03=======================================================================
+1. Correct Windows section of the Addendum file! (g0vgs)
+06May03=======================================================================
+1. Add Portuguese language courtesy of David CT1DRB (set/lang pt)
+2. Add French language courtesy of Robert HB9BZA (set/lang fr)
+02Apr03=======================================================================
+1. Fix some minor problems with the manuals (g0vgs)
+01Apr03=======================================================================
+1. Update filtering primer, changes by N3RD (g0vgs)
+28Mar03=======================================================================
+1. Added an excellent document on filtering to the manuals from Jim, W3BG
+2. started to remove old documents (g0vgs)
+27Mar03=======================================================================
+1. play around with sh/reg, sh/iso, sh/node and sh/lock to make them work
+slightly better with the new user format.
+2. update manuals (g0vgs)
+26Mar03=======================================================================
+1. add some ak1a compatibility changes to chat
+2. added help text for chat, join, leave and sh/chat.
+18Mar03=======================================================================
+1. minor corrections to manuals (g0vgs)
+17Mar03=======================================================================
+1. changed the regex determining what is a callsign to be more comprehensive.
+I would suggest re-running create_qsl.pl and then restarting.
+2. Fix chat so that output appears to users again and PC sentence conforms
+to standard. Add kludge to remove rewritten chats if I see them.
+3. Only send chat PCs to spider or AK1A boxes
+12Mar03=======================================================================
+1. added HC and QRZ.com to possible QSL locations, if you want to pick up
+historical info (ie start again), run create_qsl.pl after update and restart
+the node (which you will need to do anyway).
+2. changed the dbcreate command so that you can say: 
+   dbcreate dxqsl cmd show/dxqsl
+which will allow local and remote users to execute commands as though they
+are Databases. You can also include these databases in chains. What you do
+with this, is ofcourse a moot question.   
+3. Update manuals (g0vgs)
+11Mar03=======================================================================
+1. Changed the name of show/qsl to show/dxqsl.
+2. Alter Commands_en.hlp to match new name and issue manual updates (g0vgs)
+10Mar03=======================================================================
+1. added show/qsl command. This command basically takes the normal output of
+sh/dx qsl and stores it in a database. In order to enable this command you 
+will require the Storable module to be loaded (you will already have done
+this with a bit of luck for the new DXUser interface). The suggested 
+procedure is (after the update) to run /spider/perl/create_qsl.pl (this may
+take a long time), then immediately it finishes, restart the node. The node 
+will then keep the database up to date automatically. If you are not 
+interested in historical data then you can leave this step out.
+2. added show/contest command from Tommy SM3OSM via Rene OZ1LQH.
+08Mar03=======================================================================
+1. Added chat, join, leave commands to allow general purpose conferencing
+on arbitrary subjects. [Translators: added e34,e35,join,leave]. There is
+currently no help. There is also sh/chat.
+28Feb03=======================================================================
+1. Charlie K1XX fixed the sh/iso, sh/reg and sh/node commands
+25Feb03=======================================================================
+1. backported switch processing for PC sentences
+24Feb03=======================================================================
+1. add the 'run' command and the 'privilege' command to allow sysops to 
+create scripts for people.
+2. fix show/user so that it doesn't moan about uninitialised variables
+23Feb03=======================================================================
+1. Added show/wm7d command (a US only callbook server) [by K1XX].
+2. Added a prototype show/db0sdx command (w.i.p).
+3. Added set/dxcq and set/dxitu zone commands [Translators: I have added
+dxcqu, dxcqs, dxitus and dxituu to Messages].
+4. Add new Commands to manuals (g0vgs)
+5. make sure that none of the above set/dx... commands are defaulted on
+22Feb03=======================================================================
+1. changed qrz.com address 
+2. added Charlie's [K1XX] new wpxloc.raw data stuff to get WA1, KC3 type 
+callsigns to work better.
+3. added in set/usstate command which prints any US state information 
+available on both the spotted (LHS of time) and spotter (RHS of time).
+[Translators: I have added usstates and usstateu to Messages].
+4. Merged in the new (faster) DXUser.pm.
+
+[NOTE] this version will require Storable to be installed. On the
+other hand the code may work without, in a compatible way. This bit hasn't 
+been very well tested (the 'no Storable' condition that is). 
+
+[*** NOTE ***] make sure that you do an 'export_user' BEFORE restarting
+you node. (Yes I know this is like a shrinkwrap licence, but I can't
+help it).
+
+It will take several minutes for the node to restart when it does the 
+conversion from .v2 to .v3 user file. Please go and have a good strong cup
+of tea whilst this is happening.
+
+If it fails then you will need to edit your latest user_asc file on (or about)
+line 25 it says: $ref = decode($f[1]); you will need to change that to 
+$ref = asc_decode($f[1]); and then do: perl user_asc
+ 
+DO MAKE SURE THAT you include subdirectories in your CVS update 
+
+21Feb03=======================================================================
+1. moved the export of the users file to Wednesday night (GMT) to avoid 
+possible crashes and/or delays during a contest weekend.
+14Feb03=======================================================================
+1. some major changes to the structure of the manual documentation.  To bring
+the manuals into line, they now have the language tag (like 
+installation_en.html).  Hopefully someone will translate the manuals 
+eventually :-) I have left the old files in CVS for now to allow
+everyone to change any symlinks etc to the new filenames.  I will remove the
+old files shortly, please update your links! (g0vgs)
+2. docs makefile updated and commands2sgml.pl added from M0AZM.  This script
+inserts the helpfiles automagically from Commands_en.hlp into the relevant
+manuals. (g0vgs)
+3. Commands_en.hlp adjusted slightly to ensure at least one space before
+examples for the purposes of the above script. (g0vgs)
+4. Amend index.html to the right document names. (g0vgs)
 09Feb03=======================================================================
 1. Correct some typos in the manuals and update perl modules etc.  Also
 amend some help files to show correct syntax, around the 'clear' commands
 swapping [input] and <callsign> in each case, translators please take note.
 Thanks to Dave N3RD for info. (g0vgs)
+2. update the addendum for latest build and include information on additional
+modules required. (g0vgs)
 20Jan03=======================================================================
 1. changed sh/c so that, by default, it only shows the caller's country nodes
 sh/c all will show the old style full list. "sh/c sk gb" will show the config
