This version primarily represents bug fixes from the previous
version, and the addition of a few new features.

A limited CHANGES list is included, this doesn't document all the
changes, but lists the important ones.

If you're willing to work with beta software, please give this a
whirl and pass along any problems that you see back to the
amanda-hackers@cs.umd.edu mailing list.  Hopefully we'll have a
full 2.4.0 release out soon.

Version 2.4.0b4

	New changerfile and changerdev configuration keywords, that
	allow changer scripts to be configured in the main amanda
	configuration file.  Each changer script has been adapted, so
	that it uses those flags whenever possible.  Also,
	documentation about built-in scripts has been added to
	docs/TAPE.CHANGERS.  -oliva & Eric Schnoebelen

	files should be stored.  -John R. Jackson <jrj@cc.purdue.edu>

		SCO OpenServer V5: Christopher B. Olsen <colsen@compus.com>
