 Major changes for release osr61-0.9.2.1
----------------------------------------

This is the first release from `The OpenSS7 Project' of the
`Dialogic Open Systems Release 6.1' package.  This package provides
`dlgn', `mercd' and `pmacd' device drivers, as well as a `dvbm' and
`sctmr' module.  Additional drivers are the `gncfd' and `gpio' modules.
The package contains all the necessary manual pages and other
documentation for components in an autoconf tarball.

This release is the initial public release.

   - In this initial release, the package already supports a wide range
     of production distributions as it uses the same build environment
     as other OpenSS7 Project packages.

   - Added versions to all exported symbols.  Made LFS unique functions
     GPL export.

   - Improvements to the common build environment with better support
     for standalone package builds on 2.4 kernels.

   - Support for most recent 2.6.18 kernels (including Fedora Core 5
     with inode diet patchset).


_This is the initial public alpha release of the package.  Please see
`README-alpha' in the release, or `Maturity', in the manual._

This is the initial public alpha release of the package.  This package
is complete but untested.  It is being released for testing by the
community.  If you are interested in testing of this package, contact
<info@openss7.com>.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6
RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production
kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public License
Version 2'.  The release is available as an `autoconf' tarball, SRPM,
DSC, and set of binary RPMs and DEBs.  See the downloads page
(http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the `autoconf' tarballs,
SRPMs and DSCs.  For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs,
see the osr61 package page (http://www.openss7.org/osr61_pkg.html).
