<itemizedlist>
<title>From version 2.1.0 to 2.1.1</title>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Added some new options to fcron : -y, -o, -l ; and some fcrontab options : stdout and volatile. All these permit to make fcron run in foreground, execute all the pending jobs (mainly %-jobs), and returns. May be used, for instance, in a ppp-up script with a dialup connection to update a software regularly.</para>
+ </listitem>
<listitem>
<para>All the documentation has been ported to SGML DocBook.</para>
<para>It results on a much better HTML version, which I recommand you use. It is installed by default in fcron documentation directory (for instance, on my system : <filename>/usr/share/doc/fcron-X.X.X/</filename>).</para>
<listitem>
<para>Added option random, which allows an entry run periodically to be run at a random time in its intervals of execution, instead of being run as soon as possible.</para>
</listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>added some more checks in fileconf.c : allow user to use hours, days, hourly, daily, etc options only with %-lines : it is ignored if set for a &-line, which is quite confusing for users who may type, for instance "&hourly" instead of "%hourly".</para>
+ </listitem>
<listitem>
<para>bug fixed : you can now use arguments in the var EDITOR and VISUAL.</para>
</listitem>

- <listitem>
- <para>add some more checks in fileconf.c : do not allow user to use hours, days, hourly (?), daily (?), etc with &-lines : it currently does nothing (no error, no special action), and it is quite confusing for users. (those options only work with %-lines).</para>
+ <para>PAM support (included in fcron, but need more tests by people using PAM)</para>

<listitem>
<para>allow a non-privileged user to run fcron</para>
