+Sat Dec 30 21:30 2000 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.0-20001230
+	- Initial release of SYM-2.
+
+Mon Jan 08 21:30 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.1-20010108
+	- Change a couple of defines containing ncr or NCR by their 
+	  equivalent containing sym or SYM instead.
+
+Sun Jan 14 22:30 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.2-20010114
+	- Fix a couple of printfs:
+	  * Add the target number to the display of transfer parameters.
+	  * Make the display of TCQ and queue depth clearer.
+
+Wed Jan 17 23:30 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.3-20010117
+	- Wrong residual values were returned in some situations.
+	  This broke cdrecord with linux-2.4.0, for example.
+
+Sat Jan 20 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.4-20010120
+	- Add year 2001 to Copyright.
+	- A tiny bug in the dma memory freeing path has been fixed.
+	  (Driver unload failed with a bad address reference).
+
+Wed Jan 24 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.5-20010124
+	- Make the driver work under Linux-2.4.x when statically linked 
+	  with the kernel.
+	- Check against memory allocation failure for SCRIPTZ and add the 
+	  missing free of this memory on instance detach.
+	- Check against GPIO3 pulled low for HVD controllers (driver did 
+	  just the opposite).
+	  Misdetection of BUS mode was triggerred on module reload only, 
+	  since BIOS settings were trusted instead on first load.
+
+Wed Feb 7 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.6-20010207
+	- Call pci_enable_device() as wished by kernel maintainers.
+	- Change the sym_queue_scsiio() interface.
+	  This is intended to simplify portability.
+	- Move the code intended to deal with the dowloading of SCRIPTS 
+	  from SCRIPTS :) in the patch method (was wrongly placed in 
+	  the SCRIPTS setup method).
+	- Add a missing cpu_to_scr()  (np->abort_tbl.addr)
+	- Remove a wrong cpu_to_scr() (np->targtbl_ba)
+	- Cleanup a bit the PPR failure recovery code.
+
+Sat Mar 3 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	- Add option SYM_OPT_ANNOUNCE_TRANSFER_RATE and move the 
+	  corresponding code to file sym_misc.c.
+	  Also move the code that sniffes INQUIRY to sym_misc.c.
+	  This allows to share the corresponding code with NetBSD 
+	  without polluating the core driver source (sym_hipd.c).
+	- Add optionnal code that handles IO timeouts from the driver.
+	  (not used under Linux, but required for NetBSD)
+	- Donnot assume any longer that PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE are 
+	  defined at compile time, as at least NetBSD uses variables 
+	  in memory for that.
+	- Refine a work-around for the C1010-33 that consists in 
+	  disabling internal LOAD/STORE. Was applied up to revision 1.
+	  Is now only applied to revision 0.
+	- Some code reorganisations due to code moves between files.
+
+Tues Apr 10 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.9-20010412
+	- Reset 53C896 and 53C1010 chip according to the manual.
+	  (i.e.: set the ABRT bit in ISTAT if SCRIPTS are running)
+	- Set #LUN in request sense only if scsi version <= 2 and
+	  #LUN <= 7.
+	- Set busy_itl in LCB to 1 if the LCB is allocated and a 
+	  SCSI command is active. This is a simplification.
+	- In sym_hcb_free(), donnot scan the free_ccbq if no CCBs 
+	  has been allocated. This fixes a panic if attach failed.
+	- Add DT/ST (double/simple transition) in the transfer 
+	  negotiation announce.
+	- Forces the max number of tasks per LUN to at least 64.
+	- Use pci_set_dma_mask() for linux-2.4.3 and above.
+	- A couple of comments fixes.
+
+Wed May 22:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.10-20010509
+	- Mask GPCNTL against 0x1c (was 0xfc) for the reading of the NVRAM.
+	  This ensure LEDC bit will not be set on 896 and later chips.
+	  Fix sent by Chip Salzenberg <chip@perlsupport.com>.
+	- Define the number of PQS BUSes supported.
+	  Fix sent by Stig Telfer <stig@api-networks.com>
+	- Miscellaneous common code rearrangements due to NetBSD accel 
+	  ioctl support, without impact on Linux (hopefully).
+
+Mon July 2 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.11-20010702
+	- Add Tekram 390 U2B/U2W SCSI LED handling.
+	  Submitted by Chip Salzenberg <chip@valinux.com>
+	- Add call to scsi_set_pci_device() for kernels >= 2.4.4.
+	- Check pci dma mapping failures and complete the IO with some 
+	  error when such mapping fails.
+	- Fill in instance->max_cmd_len for kernels > 2.4.0.
+	- A couple of tiny fixes ...
+
+Sun Sep 9 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.12-20010909
+	- Change my email address.
+	- Add infrastructure for the forthcoming 64 bit DMA adressing support.
+	  (Based on PCI 64 bit patch from David S. Miller)
+	- Donnot use anymore vm_offset_t type.
+
+Sat Sep 15 20:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.13-20010916
+	- Add support for 64 bit DMA addressing using segment registers.
+	  16 registers for up to 4 GB x 16 -> 64 GB.
+
+Sat Sep 22 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.14-20010922
+	- Complete rewrite of the eh handling. The driver is now using a 
+	  semaphore in order to behave synchronously as required by the eh 
+	  threads. A timer is also used to prevent from waiting indefinitely.
+
+Sun Sep 30 17:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.15-20010930
+	- Include <linux/module.h> unconditionnaly as expected by latest
+	  kernels.
+	- Use del_timer_sync() for recent kernels to kill the driver timer 
+	  on module release.
+
+Sun Oct 28 15:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.16-20011028
+	- Slightly simplify driver configuration.
+	- Prepare a new patch against linux-2.4.13.
