+
+1.	Removed all narrow-specific stuff from MNT.CMD and EBLD.BAT.
+
+2.	Removed narrow def files and database from source directories.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 027

+1.	Tidied up MNT.CMD (made sure no environment variables are left set).
+
+2.	Implemented workaround for bug in DIAL where number not in correct format
+	is not resolved correctly.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 025
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 29th January 1999
+
+1.	Made a change to the database structure to accomodate the ER5 messaging control panel.
+	The modem config table has new fields to specify default modem preferences, which must  
+	be filled in.  For any given modem configuration, when that modem is subsequently set 
+	as the connected modems, the default preferences are read out of the modem config record 
+	and written into the modem preferences record.  
+	These value may be subsequently overwritten by writing directly to the modem preferences 
+	table. If the default preferences are later updated in the modem config table, the modem 
+	preferences table will NOT be updated until the modem config id is rewritten to the 
+	connected modem table.
+   One problem with this is that if a view on the modem preferences table is held open over 
+   the update of the modem config id in the connected modem record, the modifications will
+   not appear and the view will have to be closed and reopened.
+
+2. Disallowed the use of more than one record in the connected modem table or in the modem
+   preferences table.  This is another modification for the ER5 control panel and will have 
+   to be removed post-ER5.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 024
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 15th January 1999
+
+1.	Changed database close function not to compact the database unless updates have been made.
+
+2.	Updated test database with some working ISP accounts.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 023
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 7th January 1999
+
+1.	Made a change to the database structure to accomodate the ER5 messaging control panel.
+	The database modem config table has another new field DefaultPortName, which may or may 
+	not be filled in.  If for any given modem configuration they are not blank, when that 
+	modem is subsequently set as one of the connected modems, the default port name is read 
+	out of the modem configuration record and written into the connected modem record.  
+	This value may be subsequently overwritten by writing directly to that field in the 
+	connected modem table.  If the default port is later updated in the modem config table, 
+	the connected modem table will NOT be updated until the modem config id is rewritten 
+	to the connected modem table.
+
+2.	Updated testcode to reflect this change and added a test for this functionality.  Updated
+	documentation.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 022
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 17th December 1998
+
+1.	Made a change to the database structure to accomodate the ER5 messaging control panel.
+	The database modem config table has two new fields DefaultTsyName and DefaultCsyName,
+	which may or may not be filled in.  If for any given modem configuration they are not 
+	blank, when that modem is subsequently set as one of the connected modems, the default
+	tsy name and csy names are read out of the modem configuration record and written into
+	the connected modem record.  These values may be subsequently overwritten by writing 
+	directly to those fields in the connected modem table.  If the default tsy and csy are 
+	later updated in the modem config table, the connected modem table will NOT be updated
+	until the modem config id is rewritten to the connected modem table.
+
+2.	Updated testcode to reflect this change and added a test for this functionality.  Updated
+	documentation.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 021

+1.	Moved const definition from COMMDB.H to CDBLEN.H to avoid PPP dependancy
+	on DBMS and DIAL header files.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 009
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 20th August 1998
+
+BC with 008
+
+1.	Changed override settings to be contained in two classes CCommDbOverrideSettings
+	has the basic functionality of setting and getting overrides, and a derived class

+
+2.	Added missing exported functions for storing and restoring overrides.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 008
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 19th August 1998

+
+1.	Moved override settings class from Kipper to CommDb, to allow NifMan
+	to use it.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 007
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 3rd August 1998
+
+BC with 006.
+
+1.	Added a pause before connecting to the database server in WINS to work
+	around the WINS server bug.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 006
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 9th July 1998
+
+Not BC with previous releases due to API changes (see 3-5 below).
+
+1.	Added ConnectedModem table as described in the \COMMDB\DOCS\NEWCFG.DOC.  There is no
+	longer a default record for the ModemConfig table, only for the ConnectedModem table.
+
+2.	Added ISP_DESCRIPTION and ISP_TYPE columns and removed ISP_UNICODE_CONVERSION and 
+	ISP_IP_USE_DHCP columns from ISP tables.
+
+3.	CCommsDatabase API changes:
+	i)		Renamed Connect() to Open()
+	ii)		Added RollbackTracsaction() function.
+	iii)	Added functions to open views on tables based on SQL queries.
+	iv)		Renamed GetDefaultSettingL() and SetDefaultSettingL() to
+			SetDefaultRecordL() and GetDefaultRecordL().
+	
+4.	CCommsDbTableView API changes:
+	i)		Renamed PutRecord() to PutRecordChanges() and changed to take a parameter to 
+			specify whether the record is hidden or not.
+	ii)		Renamed CancelRecord() to CancelRecordChanges().
+	iii)	Removed FindRecord().
+	iv)		Changed ReadLongTextL() to ReadLongTextLC() returning an HBufC*.
+	v)		Added SetNullL() to set the specified column to null.
+
+5.	Added CCommsDbTemplateRecord class to API.  This class enables the template record to
+	be modified and read.  Separate class is required for this because the template is not
+	available to clients in general and certain operations should not be allowed on it. 
+	Modify() function opens the record for update, or inserts a new record if none exists.
+	Delete() function deletes the record.  StoreModifications() stores modifications made 
+	to the template since the Modify() call.  CancelModifications() cancels the modifications
+	made to the template since the Modify() call.  Read and write functions are the same as
+	for ordinary records.  There is no SetNullL() as template cells should not be null.
+
+6.	Added hidden record functionality.
+
+7.	Changed defaults table to locate records by name of table rather than ID.
+
+8.	Changed CCommsDbTableView to use an RDbView rather than an RDbTable for accessing
+	records.
+
+9.	Added CDbColSet* member data to CCommsDbTableView to speed up finding appropriate 
+	cells in the table.  This slows down opening the table slightly as the column set must 
+	be requested from the server and stored on opening, but no later calls to the server to 
+	get column definitions are required.
+
+10.	Added CCommsDbTemplateRecord* member data to CCommsDbTableView for accessing the 
+	template record (for the modem config table only) when the required column is null.
+
+11.	Added distinction between null and zero-value numeric columns.  Trying to read a null 
+	column now results in a KErrUnknown error.  In order for the template record in the
+	modem config table to be used, the column must be null (not zero).
+
+12.	Various speed and other improvements.
+
+13.	Added to and updated test code.
+
+14.	Updated deisgn doc and rose diagram.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+

+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 004
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 1st June 1998
+
+1.	Changed modem reponse strings in modem config table to be 8-bit rather than
+	build dependant.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 003
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 27th May 1998
+
+1.	Changed to use the DBMS server, hence requires release 050 + of DBMS.
+	The API now provides the concept of a database from which tables may be opened.
+	For more details of this API see the document \CommDb\Design\DesignV1.doc.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Release 002
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 13th May 1998
+
+1.	Added functionality to notify an interested client of changes to the default record 
+	of a certain table.
+
+2.	Added UseLoginScript fields to the database for dial in and dial out service tables.  
+	This corresponds to the tick box in the UI "Use login script" and ensures that the 
+	login script need not be deleted if unused.
+
+3.	Removed to incorrect columns from the location table.
+
+4.	Changed client side view of record ids so that they are never zero.  This ensures 
+	that fields which reference other records can be null, indicating no record is 
+	referenced without confusion with the row with zero id.
+
+5.	Added functionality to use row zero as the default settings for modem config for 
+	that table.  If a modem config record has a null cell then the value of that cell 
+	is taken from the default record.
+
+6.	Made some unicode changes.
+
+7.	Added to test code.

+Release 001
+===========
+Made by AnnW, 10th May 1998
+
+This component is the congolmeration of the netdial database server and the dialstor. The 
+tables and columns previously in the ISP database remain and new tables have been added
+to cover the information previously contained in dialstor (modem, location and chargecard 
+information).   In future it is expected that the database will grow to encompass more comms 
+information.
+
+The server is the same as the previous NetDial database server with the addition of record 
+locking. This prohibits more than one client writing to the same database record at any one time 
+and also allows clients to lock default records while they are using them.  Locking of any record 
+and the concept of hidden records will be included in future releases, but are currently unsupported.
