Subject: Heartbeat 0.4.2 released

I got bored testing 0.4.2 and having it work, so I decided to release it.  I
hope to put out another release with some even better documentation from Rudy
and friends, and /proc/ha stuff from Volker within a week or two.

The resource groups are really cool, as is the rewritten IP takeover code.  This
is how I should have done it the first time...

Folks, it's getting dangerously close to being useful :-)

Here's the top of the ChangeLog file:

* Sat Aug 14 1999  Alan Robertson <alanr@henge.com>,
     Volker Wiegand <wiegand@suse.de>, and Rudy Pawul <rpawul@iso-ne.com>
+ Version 0.4.2
  + Implemented simple resource groups
  + Implemented application notification for groups starting/stopping
  + Eliminated restriction on floating IPs only being associated with eth0
  + Added a uniform resource model, with IP resources being only one kind.
        (Thanks to Lars Marowsky-Bree for a good suggestion)
  + Largely rewrote the IP address takeover code, making it clearer, fit
        into the uniform resource model, and removing some restrictions.
  + Preliminary "Getting Started" document by Rudy Pawul
  + Improved the /proc/ha code
  + Fixed memory leak associated with serial ports, and problem with return
        of control to the "master" node.
        (Thanks to Holger Kiehl for reporting them, and testing fixes!)


Thanks to all who contributed - whether by code, or comments, or bug fixes, or
friendly email.
