2006-12-10: 0.8.1

The most important change is the migration to cmake (although it is NOT mandatory, autoconf is still supported). Some bugs were fixed to avoid problems with data connection on timeout, or when a file is overwritten by a smaller one. Added support for BNC (using IDNT), and events WIPE and PREWIPE.

2006-09-23: 0.8.0

New events have been added (WIPE, PREMKDIR), and the scripts are now able to deny a transfer. Users and groups management has been rewritten and enhanced. SQL backends support auto-reconnection if interrupted. Many bugs were fixed, particularly for MLSD and SITE vars commands. Documentation has been removed from package, and is now located on the wiki.
