<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_6</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> Implementation of subdirectory structure for libraries (separate directories for<br>
debug, archive, debug-archive and Insure libraries).    
<LI> INCLUDE path filtering re-implemented.
<LI> Changes to the URL downloading mechanism to allow local CVS repositories to be used for<br>
SCRAM projects (:local: accepted as a valid authorisation tag).
<LI> A MAKE variable FIRSTLIBS is now defined in the build system to allow libraries to be<br> 
added to LDLIBS, bypassing any filtering.
</OL>
<P>

<P>
<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_5</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> Bugfix release only. Removed filtering of INCLUDE paths. Otherwise, exactly 
     the same as previous release.
</OL>
<P>

<P>
<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_4</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> New feature: scram tool remove will remove all internal knowledge of a tool.
<LI> Project and setup commands now have additional flags to select the cmstools file location.
<LI> Library name duplication is now eliminated, solving shared library loader problems under Linux.
<LI> Duplication of library and include path directories minimised.
<LI> Partial support for building of loadable modules (plug-in shared libraries). 
     This is currently under test, and requires changes to the project areas. 
<LI> Improved documentation pages. A future release will have a scram quick reference help card and
     a TeX manual.
</OL>
<P>

<P>
<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_3</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> New feature: scram tool tag is a new command that outputs a list of defined
     variables for a tool, usually paths of library names. 
     By giving the tag name as an argument, the value will be 
     returned without a preceding equal sign/tag name. This eliminates the need for 
     parsing with shell utils like AWK/SED.
<LI> Fix to bypass checks of other installed projects during scram setup. Eliminates prompting.
<LI> Fixes to ease integration into different sites (FNAL). Shell variables used to specify a 
     different site name for auto setup. Defaults set in the scram wrapper script can be 
     overridden by the user.
<LI> Fixes to ensure correct return statuses from scram commands.
<LI> Errors are now printed to STDERR: one subroutine handles all error reports. 
<LI> Simple debugging added to the MAIN scram code which can be switched on using shell variables.
     Verbose mode switches debug on by default.
</OL>
<P>

<P>
<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_2</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> Fixes to "scram setroot" and "scram runtime" so that scram
     commands work correctly outside of project areas.
<LI> Modifications to wrapper script.
</OL>
<P>

<P>
<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_1</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> Wrapper script modified to use <em>/usr/bin/env perl</em>
<LI> Bold text in scram output is printed normally when piped to 
     another command (eg., more)
<LI> Both <select> and <deselect> RequirementsDoc flags are parsed correctly
<LI> Fix to the spawning of scram within makefile created by scram b. No need 
     to make a link from scramcli to scram in the scram src directory
<LI> The project database file is checked thoroughly when scram list is 
     invoked. This eliminates problems arising from offline AFS project volumes
<LI> Warnings are printed when an area is deleted but not removed from the project database
<LI> New feature: scram setup is fully automated. Options for interactive setup by the user 
     are still available
<LI> New feature: scram runtime exports scram variables RELEASETOP and LOCALTOP
<LI> New feature: scram setroot is a new command allowing the setting of a SCRAM-aware 
     variable which points to a particular project area. This permits the setting of the 
     runtime environment outside of the project area and usage of other scram commands
</OL>
<P>

<P>
<H1>Release Notes For Version V0_19_0</H1>
<HR>
<OL> 
<LI> Minor bug-fixes
<li> New feature: checking for pre-requisites (tcsh, gmake)
<LI> New feature: BuildSystem now supports C compilation
<LI> New feature: projects can be removed from the scram database automatically
<LI> New feature: scram list only lists projects installed on the current OS
<LI> Documentation updated
