Subject: heartbeat 0.3.0 released

Folks:

I've just put up heartbeat version 0.3.0 on my Linux-HA web site.  It
has been restructured internally to make adding new heartbeat media
easy.  I incorporated about 150 lines of code from Tom Vogt's Heart
program for UDP broadcast heartbeat support.  Thanks Tom!  So, now it
does heartbeats (serial and/or UDP), IP address takeover, and a simple
API for communication with applications.

It is now available for download at the usual place:
	http://www.henge.com/~alanr/ha/download/

It's easy to install (your choice of .tar.gz or RPM formats), easy to
configure, and it seems to work fine :-)

Download it today!
