1.3.12
        - added tool 'otfinfo' which can be used to get basic information of
          a trace
        - removed python bindings
          (a working version of the OTF python bindings are available in the
          latest stand-alone release; see http://www.tu-dresden.de/zih/otf/)

1.3.11
        - build/install tool 'otfdump' by default
        - install documentation
        - bugfix: removed included system headers inside 'extern "C" {}'
        - bugfix: added configure check for functions 'fseeko()' and 'ftello()'
          (these functions are not available on NEC SX platforms)

1.3.10
        - added configure option '--[enable|disable]-binaries' to control
          building of binaries (useful for multi-lib installations)

1.3.9
        - fixed a portability bug: use own implementation of function
          'strdup()'
        - install a symbolic link 'otfdecompress' which is a synonym for
          'otfcompress -d'

1.3.8
        - generate OTF_inttypes.h during configuring which provides
          the integer types like int64_t, int8_t,...
        - shared OTF library will be linked with zlib, thus additionally
          linking with zlib is not necessary
        - bugfix in otf2vtf: correctly handle function leave records with id 0

1.3.7
        - added example for using OTF_MasterControl to the doxygen documentation
        - general improvement of the documentation
        - improved autoconf's m4 scripts for cross buildings

1.3.6
        - OTF_{Keywords.h,Parse.h,Platform.h} will no longer be installed
        - added a compile time assert making sure the correct sizes of the
          integer types ([u]int*_T)
        - OTF is now Windows Visual Studio compatible

1.3.5
        - added doxygen html documentation (docu/doxygen/html/index.html)
        - fixed issue, where newlines were forbidden in def, stats and snaps
        - added missing const to OTF_WStream_writeDefProcessGroup()

1.3.4
        - bug fix in otfmerge: missing handling of DefCollectiveOperation
        - bugfix in the documentation: overview.eps was broken

1.3.3
        - fixed configure bug when searching for zlib on mac
        - fixed bug in otfmerge, where the parameter "-n 0" caused an error
        - added macros for specifing the data type of the counter
          (OTF_COUNTER_VARTYPE_*)
        - fixed otfconfig help text
        - fixed bugs when using make dist
        - python bindings disabled by default
        - fixed configure bug, when using python bindings
        - updated python bindings to support user defined counters

1.3.2
        - added small functions to convert various variable types to common 
          counter type uint64_t. By this means, other types can be transported 
          as uint64_t and re-casted during reading.
          This requires type information as additional counter property flags!

1.3.1
        - if an fopen() call fails an error is now printed out every time
        - OTF_READ_ERROR was introduced as an error return value for all
          OTF_Reader_readXXX and OTF_RStream_readXXX functions. So (uint64_t)-1 is
          now a reserved value, thus cannot be used as record limit.
          The record limit always has to be smaller than or equal to
          OTF_READ_MAXRECORDS.
        - fixed issue in otfmerge, when using many streams

1.3
        - integrated libtool for shared and static linkage to otf
        - removed the possibility to include zlib symbols into otf
        - fixed warning which appeared when not using zlib
        - added python bindings to the otf library

1.2.24
        - minor change in otf[de|un]compress
        - strictly avoid writing of unsorted time stamps. Now, there will be an
          error message and the corresponding buffer/stream will be disabled for
          further writing. The write routines provide an invlaid return code but
          currently there is no way to "repair" the buffer/stream after an unsorted
          time stamp has been issued.

1.2.23
        - removed libtool from autoconf to make configure much faster, 
          libtool was not used by automake anyhow
        - removed some autoconf-generated files from CVS, 
          you might need to re-run 'sh bootstrap' yourself

1.2.22
        - fixed inttypes/stdint bug

1.2.21
        - fixed "--with-zlib-symbols"-bug

1.2.20
        - added own inttypes definitions in case there is no on the platform 
          (necessary on NEC SX6)

1.2.19
        - finished otfdump
        - removed debug output in OTF_Reader.c
        - re-introduced DefVersion record as read only

1.2.18
        - added fwrite check for writting less bytes than expected
        - re-write of otfdump. Now, it uses OTF read lib instead of plain scanf. 
          It produces nicer output and numbers records in read order.

1.2.17
        - bugfixed parser (wrong treatment of unknown records)
        - added FileGroupOperationSummary record
        - changed FileOperation-, OpenFileSnapshot- and FileOperationSummary- record
          NOTE: these records are still experimental
        - included file operation records into all tools
          NOTE: some parameters were added/changed
        - the byte-parameter in the FileOperation record does now contain the
          new position in the file file after the seek operation
        - bugfixed otfmerge

1.2.16
        - fixed a problem with comments in otfmerge
        - 2 new records introduced (NOTE: these are experimental):
          - OpenFileSnapshot
          - FileOperationSummary

1.2.15
        - 3 new records introduced (NOTE: these are experimental):
        - DefFile
          - DefFileGroup
          - FileOperation

1.2.14
        - do not linke with '-lz' if '--with-zlibsymbols' was specified
        - added zlib include line to otflib/Makefile.am

1.2.13
        - removed intel compiler warnings
        - changed OTF_FILETYPE_*-macros
        - fixed issues with OTF_getFilename()

1.2.12
        - removed intel compiler warnings in otfmerge
        - removed debug output
        - fixed 64bit issue

1.2.11
        - changed OTF_RETURN*( 0=success, !0 = error )
        - added these macros to all internal functions and tools for better
          consistency
        - fixed various memoryleaks in otf and otfmerge
        - added otfconfig to tools. otfconfig shows installationparameters
          important for developers
        - updated documentation

1.2.10
        - bugfix: otfmerge does no longer accept traces with local streams

1.2.9
        - changeable zlevel
        - changeable zbuffersize

1.2.8
        - allow suffix '.dylib' for zlib library file (from Mac OS X)
        - removed configure warning

1.2.7
        - added progress functions to OTF_RStream
        - added a progress counter to otfmerge

1.2.6
        - support shared libraries

1.2.5
        - bugfix: correctly handle process groups with more than 1000 entries

1.2.4
        - bugfix: zlib compression bug, wrong sanity check fixed

1.2.3
        - bugfix: provided copy handlers returned wrong value

1.2.2
        - important bugfix: definitionstream 0 was ignored since version 1.2

1.2.1
        - added progress functions using read bytes instead of timestamps

1.2
        - introduce transparent zlib compression

1.1.5
        - have UnknownRecord report handle incomplete records or additional bytes at 
          the end of a file.

1.1.4
        - fixed a bug in OTF_Reader which might have caused the very first 
          time stamp of a trace to be not properly sorted
        - introduced '--snapshots' and '--statistics' switches to do only 
          snapshots or statistics. for statistics a selective mode is allowed
          which regards only some streams. By this means statistics can be created
          in parallel by calling otfaux multiple times.

1.1.3
        - fixed a minor bug in otfaux

1.1.2
        - inverted return value of call-back handlers: 
          '0' is non-error, '!= 0' is regarded as an error, now!
          (this makes OTF conform with the VTF3 scheme.)

1.1.1
        - OTF_Reader now considers the return values of the handlers
        - added OTF_VERBOSE, OTF_DEBUG macro for error treatment
        - introduced 'UnknownRecord' handler which allows to catch
          unknown record types

1.0
        - initial version
