 Whats New
 =========
 
+Release 0.9.8 - Several new features and bug-fixes
+Upgrade note - If you have installed 0.9.7 and wish to save
+your configuration then copy your existing zmconfig.txt file
+over to your 0.9.8 directory and before running zmconfig.pl.
+Added multiple options to zmu - You can now give multiple options
+to zmu and get all the responses at once. However this is currently
+in a deterministic order and not related to the order you give them.
+Added -v/--verbose option to zmu - Zmu has been made more human 
+friendly though it still remains primarily for daemon use. Giving 
+the -v or --verbose option prints out a bit more as a response to
+each command.
+Add -d/--device to zmu - This option is designed to allow you to
+get your video device working with another application such as 
+xawtv and then use zmu -d to print out the settings its using
+(especially with the -v option). These options can then be used
+as a starting point for your ZoneMinder configuration.
+Added FPS in status field - The status field in the web monitor
+views now contains an FPS setting as well as the status.
+Zmconfig changes - zmconfig handles missing options better and
+rewrites config file even in non-interactive mode.
+Fixed config problems in zmcfg.h - Some config was not being
+set up correctly in zmcfg.h.
+Zmwatch now works on image delay and not fps - Previously the
+zmwatch daemon detected capture daemon failure by trying to use
+the FPS setting. This was imprecise and prone to false readings.
+It now uses the time delay since the last captured image.
+Added zmpkg.pl and zm scripts - There are now two new scripts.
+zmpkg.pl is in charge of starting and stopping ZoneMinder as a
+whole package and zm is designed to be (optionally) installed
+into your init.d directory to use ZoneMinder as a service.
+Fixed bug in Scan mode - The monitor cycle or scan mode had
+stopped working properly due to images not being generated.
+This is now fixed.
+Revamped the console window slightly - The console window has
+now been reformatted slightly to give more and better 
+information including server load.
+Added email and messaging to filters - Filters now allow you
+to send emails or messages (basically just short emails 
+intended for mobile devices) on alarms. The format and possible
+content for these emails is in zmconfig_eml.txt and
+zmconfig_msg.txt.
+Made zmdc more aggresive in killing old processes - The zmdc.pl
+daeamon will now kill any ZM processes it finds on startup or
+shutdown to prevent orphans from being left around.
+Configuration changes - Previously there were a lot of files
+generated by configure. Now only zmconfig.pl is generated this
+way and all the other configuration files are created by
+zmconfig.pl (from .z files) to centralise configuration more.
+Fixed cambolzola opt bug - There was a bug in the Cambozola
+options, I can't remember what it was but it's fixed!
+Retaint arguments in zmdc.pl - In some installations zmdc 
+was complaining about tainted arguments from the socket. These
+are now detainted prior to sending and after receiving.
+
 Release 0.9.7 - Yes, a big jump in release number but a lot of changes too. Now 
 somewhat more mature, not really an alpha any more, and a lot of bugs fixed too. 
 - Added zmconfig.pl script to help with configuration.
