There have been quite a few changes and additions in this revision, all
based on input by the user community!  Thank you for them!  I hope you
all enjoy the new features.

version 8.1.14 (Apr 9, 2006):
	- fixed rpm conserver.spec file - based on patch by Martin Evans
	  <m.d.t.evans@qmul.ac.uk>
	- added 'uds' console type for unix domain socket connections -
	  based on patch by DJ Gregor <dj@gregor.com>
	- probing of interfaces under cygwin (and possibly others?) now
	  skips unconfigured interfaces (even if flagged as up!) -
	  reported by Chris Riddoch <chrisr@digeo.com>
	- added the '!login' console option to prevent clients from
	  connecting to a console - suggested by Greg Tillman
	  <gregtillman@comcast.net>
	- added a 'noop' console type for consoles you'd like to name,
	  but have no connection to - suggested by Greg Tillman
	  <gregtillman@comcast.net>
	- deprecated escape commands removed from the code
	- added '^EcP' and '^EcR' sequences to set the playback and
	  replay line lengths
	- new console config options 'playback' and 'replay' to let the
	  client set prefered output lengths (with a special feature for
	  a size of zero)
	- prefer strlcpy() over strcpy() - based on patch by Peter
	  Valchev <pvalchev@openbsd.org>
	- fixed bug where '^Eco' by user on an 'exec' console with an
	  'initcmd' causes input by user to be ignored (could be other
	  console types as well) - reported by Mark Wedel
	  <Mark.Wedel@sun.com>
	- made POSIX termios code in autologin a requirement (since
	  conserver requires it) and cleaned up a few other issues -
	  based on reports by Arthur Clune <ajc22@york.ac.uk>
