 %changelog 
 
+* Wed Nov 27 2002 Lenz Grimmer <lenz@mysql.com>
+
+- moved init script from /etc/rc.d/init.d to /etc/init.d (the majority of 
+  Linux distributions now support this scheme as proposed by the LSB either
+  directly or via a compatibility symlink)
+- Use new "restart" init script action instead of starting and stopping
+  separately
+- Be more flexible in activating the automatic bootup - use insserv (on
+  older SuSE versions) or chkconfig (Red Hat, newer SuSE versions and
+  others) to create the respective symlinks
+
 * Wed Sep 25 2002 Lenz Grimmer <lenz@mysql.com>
 
 - MySQL-Max now requires MySQL >= 4.0 to avoid version mismatches
