Welcome to Keystone 0.70!

This release of Keystone probably represents the largest set 
of changes between releases.  There have been an enormous number
of enhancements, changes, and fixes that have been done since
0.60.05 was released in October of last year.

Here's a summary of the major changes.

--------------------------------------------------------
NEW STRUCTURE UPDATE MECHANISM - schecker.php3

This release has many many structure changes in it.  To
make this an easier process, we have developed 'schecker',
a program that will verify the table structures of your
installed system against a database at Stonekeep that has
the correct structures, and will tell you what needs to be
updated.

Unfortunately, schecker at the moment only works with 
MySQL.  A Postgres version will be forthcoming.

To run schecker, simply point your web browser at 
'schecker.php3' in your Keystone directory.

Note that schecker doesnt' actually -CHANGE- the structures
of your tables, it merely verifies them, and tells you what
needs to be updated.

--------------------------------------------------------
BETTER COLOR SYSTEM

THe first steps to being able to reconfigure colors in the
system is complete - adding new colors to the .conf file
and allowing you to customize how slips and rows and other
items are colored.

--------------------------------------------------------
NEW RESOURCES SYSTEM

The Resources system has been completely rewritten from
scratch.  The new system is quite useable, allowing 
tracking of inventory, systems and parts within a 
department.  Items have contact information associated with
them, as well as manufacturers other details.  Items can
be 'grouped' together so one item may have several accessories
associated with it (such as software or expansion parts)

--------------------------------------------------------
ENHANCED CONTACTS SYSTEM

The Contacts system has been enhanced with comments for
contacts, a column for determining whether the contact is
a manufacturer (someone who supplies Resources to you) or
a normal contact for tickets.

--------------------------------------------------------
MANY BUG FIXES

There has been an enormous effort by the Keystone userbase
in submitting bug reports and enhancements.  Almost all the
ones submitted via email are in this release, but there's
still a lot to do.  Thanks to everyone for their support.
