changes:
This is GNATS 4.1.0, a release that incorporates multiple bug fixes
and enhancements that have been committed to CVS since the release of
GNATS 4.0. Notable enhancements include:
- Upgrade to autoconf 2.59 generated configure scripts.
- New PR numbers are reported to the client upon new submissions
- Rewrite of install-sid. Now, rather than editing send-pr, which can
be installed on a read-only partition, install-sid creates or edits
user or site configuration files ~/.send-pr.conf or
/etc/gnats/send-pr.conf.
- Removal of libiberty, old manpages, and old build framework cruft
- Performance enhancements to indexing code
- Various cleanups and bugfixes. See the ChangeLog files for details.
