easily noticed and filtered. HTML output can also be sent to a dated
file.
changes:
This version supports the new netfilter/iptables packet filter logging
included in Linux kernel v2.4.x. It includes v1.9 for ipchains users.

application; one can assign a "user-id" for an e-mail (e.g. an account
number) to track how often one user asks for help. It also has an
additional "Knowledge Base" feature: if your customers ask the same
questions over and over again, you can save the answer in the Knowledge
Base and prefill a reply with this answer by simply typing in some
keywords and click on a link. There's also a public interface to the
Knowledge Base.

Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant
with the GNU Coding Standards. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make and
include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU
standards for Makefile variables and targets. Automake is a Perl
script. The input files are called Makefile.am. The output files are
called Makefile.in; They are intended for use with Autoconf. Automake
requires certain things to be done in your configure.in. This package
also includes the "aclocal" program. aclocal is a program to generate
an 'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful
as an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting autoconf.
changes:
This version contains faster AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (requires update of
`missing' script), user-side dependency tracking, Python support, and
