+version 0.3.0 - released 2005-10-25
+
+        * added patch by Ralf Fischer <me@makii.de> to enable the user
+          to specify the geometry on the command line (width of the machine
+          list, width of the summary area, width of the terminal area).
+
+        * updated omnitty man page to reflect aforementioned changes
+
+version 0.2.9 - released 2005-07-10
+
+        * added support (via ncurses' define_key()) for alternate escape
+          sequences for function keys. Should improve compatibility
+          with several X terminal emulators.
+
+        * added support for machine renaming (patch contributed by
+          Richard Palmer <richard.palmer@gmail.com>)
+
+version 0.2.8 - released 2004-10-15
+
+        * added -W option to allow user to specify list window width.
+        * added copyright notices to files
+        * 'make install' now honors the DESTDIR environment variable if set,
+          so as to make it easier to install the program on a 'fake root'.
+          Mainly for building distro packages, but has other uses.

+[[ AUTHOR AND PROJECT HOMEPAGE ]]
+This program was written by Bruno Takahashi C. de Oliveira, a
+Computer Science student at Universidade de S�o Paulo, Brazil.
+The project home page is:

+
+[[ WHAT IS IT? ]]
+
+Omnitty is a curses-based program that allows one to log into several
+machines simultaneously and interact with them, selectively directing
+input to individual machines or groups of selected machines. You can run both
+line-oriented and screen oriented in the target machines, because Omnitty
+has built-in terminal emulation capability. When the terminal is large
+enough, Omnitty also displays a "summary area" for each machine,
+in which it shows what the latest output from the machine was.
+
+[[ REQUIREMENTS ]]
+
+To compile omnitty, you need libROTE (http://rote.sourceforge.net),
+ncurses and of course libc.
+
+[[ CONTRIBUTIONS ]]
+
+Thanks to the following people for their contributions to the project
+in the form of patches, suggestions, testing or otherwise:
+
+* Richard Palmer <richard.palmer@gmail.com> - for the patch that allows
+  the user to rename machines
+
+[[ MORE DETAILS ]]
+
+Multiple-host network administration usually involves running the same
+set of commands on several different machines. An administrator might
+ssh into each of the machines in his network individually to perform
+the required tasks, but the process soon becomes repetitive and
+prone to errors. Scripts might help in the case of noninteractive
+programs and when the administrator knows exactly what commands are
+to be given. Error handling in these scripts is also difficult to
+code, and the process becomes especially tedious if these tasks
+have to be done regularly.
+
+Omnitty tries to present a different approach to manipulating several
+machines remotely. It simultaneously logs you into all the machines you
+specify and then presents a screen in which you navigate through
+the list of machines. When you select a machine, its "terminal" is shown
+onscreen and they keypresses you type are sent to that machine while
+it is selected. The user may freely navigate the list, interacting
+with the machines in any order.
+
+Another feature is that you can 'tag' machines on the list and enter
+a mode where the input you provide is directed to ALL the machines
+you tagged, simultaneously. Thus you might tag all the machines in
+which you need to run a particular command and then type the command
+once to have all machines execute it.
+
+Omnitty not only works with regular commands, but also with visual
+programs. For example, you might run 'vi' remotely on several machines
+simultaneously, and every keystroke you supply will be reproduced
+in every machine you tagged. Thus you might interactively edit
+files in several machines at once.
