####################
Changes in 2.1.0
- Remove warning about empty email setting value from legacy coco
- Add git sha and build date to version information
- Clean up log prints
* Changed some info prints to debug ones, in order to reduce log prints in daemon's default operating mode
- Minor documentation updates
- Add support for setting the logging level from env variable
- Do not strip '@' from incoming messages
- [QLS-543] Add support for overriding single user settings from environment variables
####################
Changes in 2.1.0-rc1
- [QLS-422] Daemon now fetches info for all the available license numbers and their types by sending ping message to the server.
* Note: Server 2.2 or above required to reply a ping with license info.
* Daemon now relies entirely on server to get info about licenses and their models.
* As a backup, daemon stores the newest fetched license info in the file. If no server connection, and no info from the cached license info file, daemon fails to start.
- [QLS-440] Additional class created to handle the leftover reservations
* Each time floating license is reserved, daemon stores the reservation ID in the file. When client disconnects, the reservation ID is removed.
* If something bad happens e.g. daemon crashes, being not able to release the reservations from server, current reservations still stay in the file. Upon daemon restart, the cache file is being read, making it possible to release all those "ghosted" reservations from the server. With empty cache, daemon then starts listening for client apps.
- [QLS-360] [QLS-366] Refactored the client classes to reflect license models rather than client app name
* Better maintainability and scalability
- [QLS-385] Add integration point library for client tools
* Migrate qtlicensetool and mocwrapper to use the client library
- Remove deprecated support for server address override in the user configuration file
- Fix a bug when client dies before server response
* Release the reservation normally from the server
- [QLS-472] Recover from temporary server outage
* Release all clients that disconnected during a server outage, once the server is up again
- [QLS-538] Create a waiting queue for floating clients
* If the license seats are all used in the server, the floating clients are put in a queue to wait some seats to be freed
- Retry failed license release requests when server is busy
* In case the server returns with a message indicating busy status, attempt the request again after a small delay
- Email not needed with Coco drop-in usage
- Update and restructure documentation
####################
Changes in 2.1.0-beta3:
- Add a feature to release all pending (leftover) floating reservations upon daemon restart
- Add process_id field to the server requests, to separate identical requests from each other
* Fixes an issue with new server versions which require the process_id
####################
Changes in 2.1.0-beta2:
- Fix daemon work directory for Windows
- Fix unnecessary server requests for clients without valid reservation
- Windows: fix allowing binding listening socket to used address
- Add new logging functionality
* More detailed output and support logging into file
- Remove UUID part from the user_id value in license requests (legacy coco)
####################
Changes in 2.1.0-beta1:
- Prepare for floating license support
- Daemon name 'licd' changed to 'qtlicd'
- Daemon architecture changed towards more modular approach
- Fixed a bug with SSL support
- Added HW ID calculation if empty (hw_id now empty by default in qtlicd.ini)

'-L' switch of qtlicensetool changed to '-p' to reflect the change

####################
Changes in 2.0.3:
- Mocwrapper made even less verbose
####################
Changes in 2.0.2:
- Added this changelog
- Implemented support for additional leeway time in case there's no server connection
####################
Changes in 2.0.1:
- Added a new feature to the qtlicensetool: Get current reservation status
- Mocwrapper is now less verbose
####################
Changes from 0.xxx to 2.0.0
- 'qtlongterm' CLI tool replaced with a new, more generic 'qtlicensetool'
- Long-term functionality added in the qtlicensetool through -L (or --longterm) switch
- The qtlicensetool always uses [default] section in the user settings file to get its settings from
* Swithces used in qtlongterm command are now mostly optional, to be able to override the [default] ones
* See 'qtlicensetool --help' or README.md
