[nas] NAS 1.5 (release) is now available.

[Jon Trulson]

	Well, I haven't heard of any problems so far with the 1.4.2d
development release, so here goes: version 1.5.

	As usual, it can be found at http://radscan.com/nas.html .

	Here is the change history between 1.4.2 and 1.5:

Version 1.5 12/26/2001

	## 12/1/2001

	- Corrected manpage html generation issue with the nasd.conf
	  manpage via patch from Erik Inge Bolso


	## 1.4.2d  11/25/2001

	- implemented locking in libaudio via Xthread mutexes.  

	  This is kind of a big change, but the result should be a
	  threadsafe libaudio.  I used Xthreads, because then
	  theoretically I shouldn't have to care about the system's
	  actual thread implementation. Right?? I've tested so far on
	  Linux (uses pthread_*) and Unixware 2.03 (uses thr_*).  So
	  far so good.

	- bumped up the libaudio rev to 2.2

	## 1.4.2c  11/4/2001

	- turned off streams support on SVR4 systems for libaudio.
	  UNIX and TCPCONN work just fine.  The nasd server hasn't
	  used streams support since the 1.3 timeframe anyway.  This
	  will work around local connection issues on UnixWare and
	  probably Intel Solaris as well.  

	- added patches from Steve McIntyre to work around an XFree86
	  issue, and prevent the HPUX server from being built on HPPA
	  systems running Linux.

	- add change to AuServerName() in libaudio to default to
	  'tcp/localhost:8000' if neither AUDIOSERVER or DISPLAY are
	  set as per a suggestion by Erik Inge Bolso.

	## 1.4.2b  10/6/2001

	- Added patches from Peter Berg Larsen to the Sun server that
	  adds support for $AUDIODEV on Sun Ray platforms.

	- Added patches from Peter Berg Larsen that corrects some
	  issues dealing with dead clients, and improper server resets
	  when persistent flows are still active.  Also, some
	  uninitialized variables are now properly initialized.

	## 1.4.2a  4/21/2001

	- patch from Steve McIntyre to resolve man page issues, and
	  add a libm dependancy to libaudio for linux platforms.

	- patches from Philippe Jouguet

		new options in nasd.conf for the voxware server:
		- add 'mixer' device option to secify the mixer.
		- add 'forcerate' option to force the sample rate
		  to the current rate at all times
		- add 'autoOpen' option to specify whether the audio
		  devices are opened at init time.
		- add 'readwrite' option to specify whether devices
		  are opened read/write (default) or
		  readonly/writeonly for the input and output devices,
		  respectivly.


	- added patch from Nick Ing-Simmons to pass the correct port
	  offset when starting nasd within libaudio (if START_SERVER
	  is defined at build time).

	- always output verbose/debugging info to stderr if debugging
          is enabled (even if you normally use syslog).  stderr is not
          closed when debugging is turned on.
