Changes between 0.1.8 and 0.1.8.1
-----------------------------------

  * a number of (minor) bug fix
  * splashy_config -i option support archives like .tar.gz, .tar.bz or .tar
    and it checks the archive
  * /sbin/splashy can be used as /sbin/splashy_chvt: avoiding a dependancy 
    on chvt from console-tools
  * Directfb 0.9.24 supported, removing our custom directfb-config script

Changes between 0.1.7 and 0.1.8
-------------------------------

  * Support for theme schemas
  * Implements all usplash commands on the named pipe/fifo
  * Splashy now runs from initramfs (experimental)
  * Improved verbose mode, pressing F2 shows verbose as well as autoverbose
    mode after detecting errors on the console (/dev/vcs* buffers). Text
    now shows on a nice, overlay textbox.
  * splashy-init replaces all initrc scripts. Allows to quickly update the
    progressbar, detects when X11 is to be launched by gdm/kdm/xdm, among
    many features
  * Fully Linux Standard Base (LSB) compliance
  * Text messages can be printed to the screen (for system messages) (Thanks
    to Pat from Xandros.com for the patch)
  * Multi-threaded, creating a very smooth progressbar and text reading from
    the system consoles.

  * Verbose mode when F2 is pressed
  * splashy_config which allows Splashy to be configured easily from the command 
    line (a GUI will follow shortly).

-------------------------------

  * Splashy project re-written in C
