Special notes for release 0.007:
--------------------------------
Nothing special, just some documentation fixes and a Makefile.PL
fix for compatibility with the MakeMaker that ships with Perl 5.8.0.
Thanks to Vincent Herried and Brad Van Duser.

Special notes for release 0.006:
--------------------------------
The svc99() routine is now functional.
An smf_record() routine is now available yet will be
untested by test.pl owing to SMF deployment differences. See
the smf_test enclosed program for a way to test smf_record()
before running `make install`.
The stdio_cookbook.pod document has been expanded.
You now have the option of passing data set names (e.g. partial
names) to the get_dcb() and getname() routines in addition to still
being able to pass mvsopen() file handles.
All 161 tests ought to pass for you.
##################################################################
Special notes for release 0.005:
--------------------------------
The dynalloc() routine is now functional.
The dynfree() routine is now functional.
The pds_mem() routine and the internal _pds_mem() function should
now be a bit more efficient than the previous release. pds_mem()
can now list aliases or aliases and non alias members
depending on the value of an extra optional argument.
* A pds_mem() test has been folded into test.pl, along with a
dynalloc() and a dynfree() test. All 76 tests ought to pass for
you.

Special notes for release 0.004:
--------------------------------
The pds_mem() routine now does a better job of EXTENDing the
perl XS ST-ack and ought to work with PDS'es that have more than
100 members. It does not list ALIAS members as was noted
in testing (and documented in Stdio.pm). A more extensive
test of pds_mem() has yet to be written. All 70 tests ought to
pass for you though.

Special notes for release 0.003:
--------------------------------
The pds_mem() function is now functional.
##################################################################
Special notes for release 0.002:

None of the catalog/VTOC dslist functions (vol_ser dsname_level) work.
The pds_mem() function is not yet operational.
resetpos() and forward() have been added along with regression tests.
The bug in get_dcb() has been fixed.
The bug in mvswrite() has been fixed.
None of the vsam routines [locate() update() delrec()] have been tested
at all.

Special notes for release 0.001:
--------------------------------
None of the catalog/VTOC functions (vol_ser dsname_level) work
The pds_mem function is not yet operational.
rewind always seems to return undef.
mvswrite can cause trouble, *I do not recommend using it with
valuable data just yet*.
None of the vsam routines (locate update delrec) have been tested
at all.
the dsname key from the return value of get_dcb is not working.
make test fails these for me:
not ok 19
not ok 36
not ok 39
not ok 40
