+ - Debugging statements will be printed to stdout only if
+   -DDEBUG is included in CXXFLAGS during compilation
+ - "--nocrashhandler" will be added to the command-line
+   argument list only if -DDEBUG is included in CXXFLAGS 
+   during compilation
+ - fix for bugs in which disk-based files were not being
+   updated.  In particular, archive names can now be changed
+   permanently.  Hopefully this will also fix the problem of
+   tape dumps not being remembered.
+
+2002-01-30
+ - The command-line argument "--nocrashhandler" is now added
+   to char **argv in main() to make sure that Dr. Konqi isn't
+   called.  This is necessary to allow the user to generate
+   core dumps.  Calling KCrash::setCrashHandler(0); doesn't work.
+   The contents of argv[] are written to stdout to remind the
+   user that this has been done.
+ - A null-pointer problem has been fixed.  For now, when that
+   pointer is null, kdat will print
+     Found sel==0x0 in KDat.cpp 1250 
+   to stdout.  This message will be removed once the problem is
+   known to be solved completely.
+ - The behavior of the tree when a directory is selected or
+   unselected is changed so that the subdirectory does not
+   expand or collapse at the same time.  This is currently done
+   by redrawing the entire subtree, which is probably not the 
+   most efficient way to do it.
+

+ - KDat now seems to dump and restore properly.
+ - Frank Pieczynski <pieczy at knuut.de> provided larger
+   backup, restore, and verify icons.
+ - Signal hander now allows user to dump core if so desired.
+ - When user starts backups, a warning appears that instructs
+   him/her how to restore data from the tape using tar on the
+   command line.  This is necessary becase sometimes the new
+   archive isn't saved so kdat can't restore the data.  This
+   problem appears to have disappeared spontaneously today, and
+   was linked to the variable _stubbed=FALSE.
+
+2002-01-24
+ - Frank Pieczynski <pieczy at knuut.de> provided improved blue icons.
+   The original yellow icons are retained in the distribution with
+   ".yellow" appended to their basenames for those who want them.
+ - Added new dialog box that allows the user to cancel a backup
+   while the size of the backup is being estimated.  This is useful
+   when the amount of data is clearly larger than the size of
+   the medium.
+
+2002-01-21
+ - Added signal handler so user can have a chance to figure out what
+   program was doing when it received one of the signals SIGHUP,
+   SIGINT, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, SIGTERM.  The program can always be killed
+   with "kill -9 <pid>".
+
+2002-01-20 
+ - Made the selected/deselected icons more similar to the original
+   easy-to-read versions
+ - Fixed bug in which a single mouse click to select or
+   deselect would change the status but not update the
+   display.  The display is now updated.  Double-clicking still
+   works. 
+ - Fixed bug that caused the tree widget to overlap the
+   information widget.
+ - Added compile-time option to arrange the tree widget and the
+   information widget either horizontally or vertically.  The default
+   is now horizontal, and the top-level window size is
+   increased from 600x400 to 600x600 pixels.
+ - NOTE: the Backup Profiles have been moved by the KDE project from
+      $HOME/.kdat
+   to
+      $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kdat
+   If you simply copy your old Backup Profiles to the new directory,
+   they should work correctly.
