List of changes since 1.20 :
============================

  - Support Contracts are now available from :

      http://www.librelogiciel.com/techsupport/

  - Third party administration tools like phpPykotaAdmin appeared and
    begin to be useable.

  - Simplified installation script. Independant script to check for
    dependencies.

  - Integrated pre/post banners (CUPS only).
    Banners can be either static files, executables, or pipes. PyKota
    includes a default tool to generate customizable banners on the
    fly with accounting information. Banners can be accounted for or
    not, depending on a runtime configuration directive which can be
    set on a per printer basis if needed.

  - The data dumper is now also available as a CGI script, and
    can dump the job history into CUPS' page_log format (even when
    using LPRng instead of CUPS). This allows real time integration
    of other tools like phpPrintAnalyzer and the like.

  - The output of the data dumper is now independant of the database
    backend being used. This allows third party tools like phpPykotaAdmin
    to integrate it easily.

  - Each user can now have an overcharging (or underchaging) factor,
    used when computing the cost of a print job.

  - Duplicate jobs can be denied automatically on a per printer basis.

  - Added an email gateway to allow end users to query their
    quota information by mail.

  - The location of the configuration files is now configurable.

  - Improved security and documentation.

  - Automated disconnect/reconnect in case of LDAP timeouts.

  - Added TLS support for LDAP.

  - Several new configuration directives added, see the sample configuration
    file for details.

  - Improved --prototype command line option to edpykota : it can now
    use most user/group attributes as the prototype for new users/groups.

  - Improved the internal Page Description Languages parsers.

  - Turkish and Traditional Chinese translations were added.

  - Many bug fixes and improvements.
