------------------
uBeeDisk v1.4.0

New for this release:
* Added --verbose option to set console output reporting level. The default
  level is 1 which makes all console messages active like previous versions. 
  If set to 0 then only error messages, interaction prompts and processes
  intended to convey information will be output.
* Added batch and shell scripts for common tasks involving disk images.
* Added SLAX package to the distribution packages.

Changes:
* No disk description prompting if the output type is not a disk image, this
  includes types: floppy, ntwdm, remote, rcpmfs.
* Added more types to be excluded when creating 'info', and '.err' files.
  Only output types that are images will be able to create these files.
* Option parameters converted to lower case for --itype, --otype, --format,
  --datarate, --detect and --disk.

Fixed:
* Fixed problems with sector ID, read and write functions failing because of
  unsupported functions in the driver type in use.  The changes will make
  use of an alternative function appropriate for the driver to be used
  instead.  This has fixed issues when using the 'raw' and 'remote' driver
  as an input and possibly other driver types.

uBeeDisk v1.3.0

Changes:
* Added data rate and encoding mode detection and reporting to the disk
  scanning process.
* Changes to the disk scanning command so that scanning will only occur on
  one side of the disk when specifying an --iside option.  If not specified
  then both sides are scanned.
* Major rewrite of the Makefile.

Fixed:
* Fixed a problem when using batch mode (--count=n) the seeked count in the
  unattended mode was not being set back to 0 for the next copy operation.
* Fixed the disk copy process to set 'mbee' detection based on input and not
  output driver types.
* Fixed the disk info command.

uBeeDisk v1.2.0

New for this release:
* Added --retry-l1 and --retry-l2 retry options.  The existing --retry
  option is the same as option --retry-l2.
* Added --unattended option to enable/disable automatic handling of errors. 
  This mode is now enabled by default.  See the global section of the
  ubeedisk.ini.sample if disabled is required by default.
* Added --unattended-rab option to set number of sector errors allowed
  before aborting the copy process when the unattended mode is in use.
* Added --unattended-rps option to set number of retries per sector allowed
  when the unattended mode is in use.
* Added --unattended-seek option to set the maximum number of error seeks
  per disk read allowed when the unattended mode is in use.
* Added another option to the recovery options: '[T] ReTry (don't seek T0)'
* Added Atari ST 80T Single/Double sided and some MSDOS formats to
  ubeedisk.ini.sample.
* Added --diskdesc option so that a disk description can be passed.
* Added --diskdescf option for a disk description contained in a file.
* Added --force option to bypass confirming requested actions.
* Added --append-error to append the error log (if created) to the 'info'
  file instead of creating an error file.
* Added a win32 binary installer to the distribution.

Changes:
* Changed method used for reading sectors as was causing many soft retries
  to show up in the '.info' file and likely to have caused problems on some
  disks because of a too low retry value at the LibDsk level.
* Disabled error checking for disk writing as this was failing when writing
  to disk images following certain disk read errors.  This will be looked at
  further at another time.
* Changes and additions to the generated '.info' files.
* Changed error logging to now go to a '.err' file by default unless
  --append-error has been specified.

-------------------
uBeeDisk v1.1.0

New for this release:
* Added error report logging, this is appended to the info file.
* Added --log option to set the level of logging for read errors.

Changes:
* Transient errors (including Unknown Error) are now processed just like any
  other disk errors. The error count now also increments when one of these
  errors occurs and the user will be prompted for action when the retry
  counter expires.

Fixed:
* Sector map was updated but the error count was not being incremented on a
  transient read error and has been corrected.

uBeeDisk v1.0.0

Initial release:
Copies disks and images from one to another.  This program was developed to
archive Microbee disk images from floppy disks and to write back to floppy,
other disk formats can be added.  The intended audience is mainly for users
of computer emulators.  As the program makes use of the 'LibDsk' library
there are many options for image types.  The program provides some data
recovery methods along with 'info' files for each disk image file created. 
An 'info' file contains information about the disk image, a status map of
all sectors read from the disk and an MD5 stamp of the associated disk
image.
