2013-09-10document dtas-tl(1) and the "tl" commands in the protocol
Everything should be documented, even if it's a work-in-progress. I reserve the right to change them...
2013-09-01player: add "state dump" command to serialize state
This helps in case dtas-player is hit with SIGKILL or the system crashes. This does not fsync(2) as that could introduce delays on slow filesystems. Users should open the file manually and fsync themselves if they need to.
2013-09-01doc: add contact info to all documentation
Users need to be able to communicate with us.
2013-08-28add license/copyright headers/footers to all files
All files we distribute in the tarball need to have a copyright/license specified for Savannah. We don't need the example state file anymore.
2013-08-28doc: protocol: question source ed tryorder, minor edits
Minor notes for future development.
2013-08-27doc: dtas-player_protocol: note proposed revamp
Better to break compatibility while the project is very young.
2013-08-26player: flesh out multi-source in protocol/sourceedit
We should be fully-capable of managing any number of options to try sources in.
2013-08-25unix_client: remove non-SOCK_SEQPACKET support
It's too much work for me to attempt to wedge SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_STREAM support into this. SOCK_SEQPACKET is the best use of _my_ time and I have limited patience for crippled OSes. Linux has had this forever and FreeBSD 9 supports SOCK_SEQPACKET already, so maybe this will be another way to nudge developers of other OSes into supporting SOCK_SEQPACKET. If somebody can provide clean patches to support SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_STREAM, I'll accept them.
2013-08-25manpage installation updates
We should be compatible with "gem-man", as well as allowing installation to prefix ($HOME by default) via: make -C Documentation install-man
