+13Oct02=======================================================================
+1. A large change has occurred. There is now some (optional) US state recog-
+nition. This is in its early stages but appears to work for me. You will need
+to download the database at http://www.dxcluster.org/download/usdbraw, save it
+in /spider/data and the run /spider/perl/create_usdb.pl. BE WARNED this will
+take several minutes. You can do this while the node is running. There is a 
+planned method of keeping the US DB up to date with smaller (ie < 5Mb) patch
+files once a week but you will have to wait a bit for the code to bed down 
+first. You can filter on routes, spots and announces using 'call_state' or
+'by_state' and a comma separated list of state codes. The HELP has been 
+updated (which may help...). 
+
+Once you have run the create_usdb.pl you will need to restart.
+
+If you don't need this, then don't run create_usdb.pl it will simply be
+a waste of time. The run-time version is 24Mb and has 840,000 odd entries
+in it. This does not replace or supplant sh/qrz (sorry Charlie [who put me
+up to this]). 
+
+2. There are a number of other niff-naff changes which I hope will improve
+rather than hinder your user experience (including check forward as well as
+back for those speedy clocked dupes mentioned below).  
+12Oct02=======================================================================
+1. attempt to improve the "check back for 5 minutes to see if this spot is 
+the same as a previous one but for the time spotted" dupe check.
+2. improve the sh/vhftable and sh/hftable commands to allow you to enquire
+by dxcc country (using the relevant prefixes or dxcc country numbers).
+[note to translators, I have changed the help text and Messages tags for
+stat*].
+07Oct02=======================================================================
+1. fix problem with (invalid) callsigns starting with '0' (zero) eg 0f6ira.
+03Oct02=======================================================================
+1. only sysop (priv=5+) can now send to distro SYSOP, ordinary users will have 
+their message routed to the $main::myalias callsign as a private message. 
+29Sep02=======================================================================
+1. Added LRU caching to DXUsers and Prefix.
+2. make Timer::handler only search its chain once a second seeing as that
+is the minimum granularity available.
+3. add some separation between cfg file making, data generation and mrtg 
+running. See /spider/cmd/mrtg.pl for some instructions...
+4. Added data in and out to the MRTG stats, you need to do an indexmaker
+to get them onto the index page, I have also added some colour to the
+legend to make what is being displayed a bit more obvious.
+
+See http://gb7djk.dxcluster.org/mrtg/stats.html for an example of the
+default screen.

 28Sep02=======================================================================
 1. Put some transparent caching into Prefix.pm to see if this has a 
 performance impact.
