62 ====================================
67 - Added the class definition for a filesystem parameter.
68 - New issue type: 'property out of range'.

79 hostname returned by gethostname().
81 - Handling of parameters is greatly improved.

85 The class is also used as a template when a new property is added
86 to an existing parameter.
88 - DYNAMIC properties are now handled properly. Instead of making a
89 'changed property' notification, the value is checked against the
90 defined range for the property. An 'out of range' notification
91 is created when this condition is detected.

94 of the UNIX df command. A brief description is added in
