vlock 2.2
Vlock's architecture was again changed from using multiple executables to a
single one with plugin support. The main helpers "vlock-all", "vlock-new"
and "vlock-nosysrq" were all converted to plugins to keep filesystem based
permission checking. Plugins may be scripts or shared objects and add
functions like muting the sound, pausing music or movie playback and even
eye candy screen savers.

vlock 2.1
FreeBSD and Debian/kFreeBSD are now supported platforms. Timeout support
was added to the password prompt. "vlock --new" now works even if stdin is
not a terminal, e.g. from an X run command dialog.

vlock 2.0
A major rewrite was undertaken, though the user interface is nearly the
same. A new "-n,--new" command line switch was added. This makes vlock
switch to a new virtual console before locking and thus makes it possible to
use vlock from an X session.

vlock 1.4
vlock 1.4 now supports optionally disabling the SysRQ keys while the entire
console display is locked. All other changes are merely cosmetical,
cleaning up license statements, includes, and makefile rules.
