+ - Improved error diagnostics for the kill subcommand.
+
+ - The --no-resume option has been removed.
+
+ - The gengetopt option parser has been replaced by the
+ [lopsub](http://people.tuebingen.mpg.de/maan/lopsub) library. Hence
+ lopsub must be installed to compile this package. Also help2man is
+ no longer required since lopsub has built-in roff support.
+
+ - "make install" will install the executable and the man page.
+
+ - In run mode, dss no longer exits successfully if another instance
+ is already running.
+
+ - New option --checksum to let rsync compute checksums occasionally.
+
+ - CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS can now be used to override the flags
+ of the build system.
+
+ - The dss logo is now created with ImageMagick rather than dia.

+
+ - New subcommands: --kill, --reload.
+
+ - The semaphore-based locking system prevents to start multiple
+ instances of dss.
+
+ - When dss receives SIGHUP it now writes the internal state and the
+ configuration to the log file
+
+ - First steps to make the source code ANSI C conform (thanks to
+ Daniel Richard G).
+
+ - dss writes log messages to stderr rather than to the logfile unless
+ running in daemon mode.
+
+ - Default hooks work also on systems where "/bin/true" does not exist,
+ e.g. Mac OS.
