2.0.15 19-Feb-2009
	- added sbtool, a multi purpose program to do administrative tasks
	  with the sandbox. Supported operations: port list, replication tree,

	- fixed minor bug in make_multiple_sandbox and make_replication_sandbox
	  when passing additional parameters. No space were added at the end.
	  Further parameters were glued together, resulting in a startup error.

	  to both MASTER_OPTIONS and SLAVE_OPTIONS)
2.0.9 22-Aug-2008
	- fixed bug#260265 "installation fails with log-error option and version < 5"

	- fixed bug#258523 Mysql Sandbox looks for tar.gz in wrong location
	  in make_replication_sandbox, make_sandbox, make_multiple_sandbox,
	  make_multiple_custom_sandbox, and in the test suite
	- fixed minor problem in MyScripts.pm. log-slow-queries was misspelled,
	  although commented.

	- added shortcut option "--circular=N" to make_replication_sandbox
	  corresponding to "--topology=circular --how_many_nodes=N"
	- added Falcon creation to smoke test (if version >= 6)

	- added named error log to configuration file
	- add removal of *.err-old files in "clear" script
	- Fixed bug in circular replication. Unnecessary initialization
	  after stop_all. Added the same check used in standard replication
	- fixed bug in circular replication. start_all and
	  set_circular_replication.sh were not stopping and starting the
	  slaves in the righ order.
	- improved 'stop' script. If the server is a slave, calls "stop slave"
	  before closing down.
2.0.4 12-Jul-2008
	- fixed bug in test suite. Parameter passing to check routine 
      was often failing on negative tests. Added subroutine prototype
	  to fix the problem.
2.0.3 12-Jul-2008
	- Fixed smoke test bugs in test suite.
	  - fixed race condition while checking the pid file

	  - added stricter check for InnoDB tables
	- added some replication tests to test suite
2.0.2 6-Jul-2008
	- Fixed minor bugs in low_level_make_sandbox. 
	  - When started with --force and --load grants, it said that it 
	    failed to comply. In fact, the grants were already loaded.
	  - when started with --force, it invokes $sandbox_dir/start
	    without checking if such script exists
2.0.1 5-Jul-2008
	- fixed minor bug on test suite. It fails on Solaris with "ps -ea". Changed
	  to "ps -ef"

	- added $SANDBOX_BINARY environment variable, to replace default
 	  $HOME/opt/mysql
	- fixed error message of make_sandbox when invoked without options
	- added a check in make_sandbox to make sure that we are using GNU tar.
1.99.9 30-Jun-2008
	- Fixed bug #244236 (low_level_make_sandbox accepts unnecessary arguments)
	- Fixed bug in low_level_make_sandbox. sandbox_home was not checked
	  for correctness. It is a simple name, and it should not accept 
	  full paths.
	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
	  home_directory was not supposed to be home. Its name is misleading, and
	  thus it was changed to upper_directory.
	- Fixed typos in README
	- Initial fix for bug #239630 (possible failure on non-GNU tar)
	- fixed script names in "sandbox" script
    - (Thanks to John Embretsen for most of the reports on today's changes)
1.99.8 29-Jun-2008
	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
	  $HOME/sandboxes is now the default SANDBOX_HOME, which users
	  however can override.

	  make_sandbox is invoked without the proper syntax.

	- added a ./docs directory with the README.pod source for README

	  tarballs instead of the default directories ([$HOME]/opt/mysql)
1.99.6 28-Jun-2008
	- enhanced the "clear" script. Now it removes all databases form the
	  data directory, first trying via SQL, then using the OS.
	- added tests to the test suite to check on this feature
1.99.5 27-Jun-2008
	- INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE
	  make_sandbox renamed low_level_make_sandbox
	  easy_sandbox renamed make_sandbox

	- added test for circular replication
	- improved testing for number of processes in the test suite
	- added circular replication features to make_multiple_sandbox 
	  with options --master_master and --circular (this should not be
	  used directly)

	  This feature uses make_multiple_sandbox internally. 
	- circular replication uses a separate directory name and port
	- fixed bug in make_multiple_sandbox. It did not use the $SANDBOX_HOME
	  directory.
1.99.4 21-Jun-2008
	- added more extensive test suite in Perl 
	- fixed bug in make_multiple_custom_sandbox (install directory was not set
	  when calling easy_sandbox)

	  all Perl script names were changed to make them more intuitive
		install.pl -> make_sandbox
		express_install.pl -> easy_sandbox
		set_replication.pl -> make_replication_sandbox
		set_many -> make_multiple_sandbox
		set_custom_many.pl -> make_multiple_custom_sandbox
	- created a './sandbox' script that lists all applications and eventually
	  executes the one that is passed as argument
	- mapped "stop" script to faster and safer "kill" script
	- replaced "sleep 3" with a loop + timeout in shell scripts
	- removed "sleep" commands from Perl scripts
	- fixed bug in get_help() : parse_options were not passed to the $msb object

	  was only looking under "./support-files" while recent packaging use
	  "./share/mysql"
    - fixed Bug#240121, with a collision between my_file and replication.
	- added the execution of a "./clear" command when "--force" was used
	  to avoid overwriting a running server.
	- cleaned up current_changes to contain only not empty options
	- created a basic test suite (not in distribution yet, only in RCS)
1.21 09-Jun-2008
	- added SANDBOX_HOME environmental variable to override $HOME
	- default sandbox home is now $HOME/sandboxes (if exists) or else
	  it is $HOME, as before
	- added scripts to start/stop/clear/use all sandboxes at once (if
	  $SANDBOX_HOME != $HOME)

1.14 24-Oct-2007
	- added a set_many.pl command to create several servers
	  not in replication
	- fixed bug in replication ports assignment. Two replication
	  systems using adjacent versions (e.g. 5.1.22 and 5.1.23) would
	  have clashing port numbers.

1.13 23-Oct-2007
	- (INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE) removed '.sh' suffix from all scripts

	  to send a query to each node.
	- added a 'my' script to call mysql* tools

    - new Tutorial available at http://datacharmer.org/#tutorials
    - bugs fixed:
        -- clear.sh was using $HOME directory instead of _HOME_DIR_
        -- install_version calculated by express_install.pl could be lower
