===============
This file contains information on changes introduced in various versions of
JUMP. The file was introduced in JUMP V4.0.
JUMP V5.0 (19-Feb-2005)
---------
- Port to Itanium
- Add /UPDATE_UAF to allow updating of Last Interactive Login time and
Login Failure count
- Add NOTIFY=EXIT_ON_MAIL_ERROR qualifier to force JUMP to exit if MAIL
notification fails with any non-success condition value
- When in Secure Mode and notifying by mail, check JUMP_NOTIFY_MAILLIST
contents (including mail list files) to prevent use of insecure
logical names as mail addresses
- Fix session log file closure timing
- Changes to BUILD_JUMP.COM:
- Fix macro compile under Alpha V7.3-2
- Display the version of JUMP at build time
- Fix parameter parsing
- Various HELP file updates and corrections
JUMP V4.2 (14-Aug-2002)
---------
- Remove restriction on EXACT JUMPing with, or in, subprocesses
- Handle ambiguous and unconventional use of usernames, UIC identifiers
and Rights identifiers
- Update the Access List file comments on usernames and identifiers
- Even if JUMP_SELF is TRUE, allow the Access List file to prevent it
for nominated users

on JUMP_SELF
- Update INSTALL.TXT troubleshooting information
JUMP V4.1 (07-May-2002)
---------
- Implement 'C' option and JUMP_CHAIN logical name. These allow the
prevention of chaining (i.e., JUMPing from a process which is
itself a JUMP pseudo-terminal)
- Ensure JUMP pseudo-terminals always have a process name
- Allow explicit specification of SECURITY as an Operator Class in
the logical name JUMP_OPER_CLASSES
- Allow use of the escape character in an EXACT JUMP when notifying
after the jump

- Correct a mistake in an example AUTHORIZE command in INSTALL.TXT
- Changed Compaq to HP :-)
JUMP V4.0 (25-Sep-2001)
---------
- Require OpenVMS versions which support Pseudo-terminals,
LIB$TABLE_PARSE and Callable Mail
- Remove procedure declarations now in Pascal Environment files
- Support Persona Security Block (PSB) and
SYSGEN parameter ARB_CONTROL in OpenVMS Alpha V7.2+
- Implement Message (.MSG) file
- Force Audit Trail file to be pre-existing
- Add extra kevlar
- Add extra security auditing
- Re-integrate most architecture-specific code into the main program
and radically simplify code in external modules
- Create OpenVMS Itanium placeholder :-)
- Add ESCAPE_CHARACTER qualifier
- Add VERSION qualifier
- Make JUMP_MATCH_BOTH functionality mandatory - this logical name is
now obsolete
- Allow user mode JUMP_USER_DIR logical name definitions
- Add JUMP_OPER_CLASSES logical name
- General pest control and code simplifications
- Modifications to BUILD_JUMP.COM
