        * Changed Changelog syntax
        * Applied patches submitted by Torsten:
        abuse_msg.diff: ddclient still reports the email to contact dyndns.org
        but they prefer a web form today (IIRC). This patch adjusts the abuse
        warning printed by ddclient.
        cachedir.diff: Original ddclient stores a cache file in /etc which
        would belong in /var/cache in my opinion and according to the FHS.
        help_nonroot.diff: Allow calling the help function as non-root.
        update-new-config.patch: Force update if config has changed
        smc-barricade-7401bra.patch: Support for SMC Barricade 7401BRA FW
        firewall
        cisco_fw.diff: Use configured hostname for firewall access
        with -use=cisco (closes: #345712). Thanks to Per Carlson for the
        patch!  See http://bugs.debian.org/345712.
        maxinterval.diff: Increase max interval for updates.
        See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=129370
        http://www.dyndns.com/support/services/dyndns/faq.html#q15

  This can be used to prevent dyndns.org from deleting a host that has not 
  required an update for a long period of time.

- optionally (-refresh), reissue all host updates.

  This can be used together with cron to periodically update DynDNS. 
  See sample-etc-cron.d-ddclient for details.

- optionally (-retry) save failed updates for future processing.

  This feature can be used to reissue updates that may have failed due to
  network connectivity problems or a DynDNS server outage
