10The primary purpose of this release is to remove the need for
11the APR library. This has many purposes, including conflicts
12between applications using the library, such as Apache, and the
13lack of flexibility it provides.
14
15Additionally, there have been changes to the database format, so
16old versions of the database will no longer be usable. This will
17probably continue until the release transitions to at least beta
18versions.

20The arm4_daemon program has been significantly enhanced. It now
21runs in the background as a daemon should, and can configure
22itself to run as a non-root user. It resides in $prefix/sbin
23instead of $prefix/bin.
24
25Finally, the base of a reporting system has been established
26using the xmlrpc-c library.
