version 20050504

* Various usability improvements, including:
    o ca-recv can parse multiple replies in the same email
    o support for multiple owner signing keys
    o add option not to request an encrypted copy of the challenge to self,
      and to chose which keyid(s) to encrypt to, if wanted.

version 20041209

* Small usability improvement in the display of fingerprints.

version 20040424

* Code improvement, no user visible change.

version 20040411

* The workflow when signing keys is better, with all the key
  retrieving done at the beginning and the sending at the end. Thanks
  Jan Schulz for the suggestion.
* ca-dosign automatically uploads keys that failed when uploading to a
  keyserver.

version 20040324

* cabot-micro-howto.txt shipped.  Thanks Stefan Hegner for this very
  valuable contribution.
* Bugs in initial creation of cabot spool dirs fixed.  We now require
  the File::Path CPAN Perl module.

version 20031030

* CVS snapshot release (as have all releases been).
* ca-dosign: Handle high ascii escaped UIDs. Hopefully handle revoked
  uids properly. High ascii uids created with previous Cabot versions
  are not handled.
* ca-createsendout does more sanitychecking on keys before adding them.

version 20030803

* More robust in absence of needed directories.
* Documentation cleanups and improvements.

version 20030726

* Fixed bug which made main::getkeydir fail, due to lack of arguments.
* Behaves sane when ~/.cabotrc is not present.
* README and manpages improved.

version 20030725

* First public release ( FIXME : is this true? ), untested CVS snapshot
* Autoconfiscated: user can do "./configure; make; make install" to get
  cabot installed on the system.
* Manpages added.
* config is renamed to ~/.cabotrc; upgrading users should move their
  handcrafted config files.
* new cabothome configuration variable; upgrading users should explicitly
  set this.

somewhere in 1998

* cabot history started, Ian Jackson wrote first code
