#Older versions of cwatch#

 *  Version 0.7 had a bug in the **`throttle`** code in that once
    throttled, the throttle would not expire until another match
    for the pattern came along.  [v0.75](cwatch-0.75.tar.gz) sets
    alarm clocks so that when a throttle expires, it will really
    expire.

 *  [v0.7](cwatch-0.7.tar.gz) implements the **`throttle`** command.

 *  0.5 fixed some bugs, but the code that handled restarting was
    still not correct, plus my handling of `mmap()`'ed files in
    [getchunk](cwatch-current/getchunk.c) was broken.  Plus my
    [autoconfiguration](cwatch-current/configure.inc) script was
    not properly writing `config.cmd`, so I needed to fix that.
    So [here's v0.6](cwatch-0.6.tar.gz), creeping slowly towards
    version 1.0.

 *  0.4 did more work on correctly implementing `--daemon` and
    `--pid-file`, but ended up breaking `--examine` and `--dump-script`,
    so I never actually released it.  [v0.5](cwatch-0.5.tar.gz)
    fixed the broken bits in 0.4, plus reworked some of the
    implementation of **`throttle`** to fit how I think (I'd complain
    again about the reference documentation, but my documentation
    is now out of date) the code is supposed to work.

 *  [v0.3](cwatch-0.3.tar.gz) implements the `--daemon` and
 `--pid-file` options, plus clean up a few portability bugs.

 *  [v0.2](cwatch-0.2.tar.gz) replaces the first release, which,
    shockingly enough, turned out to have a couple of bugs which
    materialized when I tried to build on a
    [FreeBSD](http://www.freebsd.org) machine.   I can now say that
    the code is portable, because it compiles on three machines
    now, and they aren't all running [Mastodon Linux](/~mastodon)!

 * [v0.1](cwatch-0.1.tar.gz) is the first release, no doubt full
   of bugs and improperly implemented features.  But it does have
   a manpage!
