* Fixed error message 'basename: missing operand'
+ Added mechanism to prevent TS3UpdateScript updates to version '' (unknown)

Version 3.10.4

! Do NOT remove those numbers from the config-files, because ServerQuerys can not be poked!
* Set example text for update_text.txt and auto_update_text.txt
* Fixed non-working pokes

Version 3.10.1

* Set absolute path for TEMP_* files of the script
! That should help against non-working client pokes (parameter --inform-online-clients)

Version 3.9.3

* Fixed issue with detecting installed release and binary, cause of not installed 'telnet' package
* Renamed sentence 'Latest version is already installed. Nothing to do!' to 'Latest release is already installed. Nothing to do!'
! If the installed release is not known, the script will expect it as older version yet

Version 3.8.9

+ Added changelog to output of script update
* Renamed all 'LATEST_VERSION' variables to 'LATEST_STABLE_RELEASE'
* Adjusted detection of latest stable release
! Renamed file 'configs/latestStableVersion.txt' to 'configs/latestStableRelease.txt' (the script will rename this file automatic)
* Renamed all 'INSTALLED_VERSION' variables to 'INSTALLED_RELEASE'
+ Added parameter '--beta-release' to be able to update your TeamSpeak server to the latest beta release
+ Added detection for latest beta release

+ Added "Build" string to summary output
+ Added support for ignoring all clients of given servergroup ids for parameter '--inform-online-clients' (enter sgid in configs/ignore_servergroups.txt)
! You have to create this file, if it does not exists
+ Added support for new dbPlugin 'MariaDB'
! Since TeamSpeak server version 3.0.11 (Build 1408694433) was the MySQL database replaced by the fork MariaDB (read CHANGELOG of TeamSpeak server version 3.0.11 and newer)
! If the script is updating from version 3.0.10.3 (Build 1388593719) to 3.0.11 or newer, it also will update your MySQL database to MariaDB
+ If MySQL/MariaDB database is used, the script will also detect the database username, password and database (used for updates and database fixes)
! Add your IP address, which is used for connecting as ServerQuery to query_ip_whitelist.txt or the script is may not able to detect your installed version, because it is banned by the server
! Do not check to often the same instance or you will get banned by the instance!

* Changed && to ||, to accept 'y' and 'yes' as answer for the script update
+ Added facebook fanpage to header of script
* Temp-file 'auto_update_text.txt' was created in root directory of TS3UpdateScript, but not deleted
* Fixed non-working script update
* Set raw-GitHub link for better searching for the latest script version
* Outsourced TS3UpdateScript update mechnism to own script: .updateScript.sh
! ATTENTION: Do *NOT* execute the script manually - it's your own risk! Use instead ./TS3UpdateScript.sh --update-script

Version 3.5.1

! No code was changed! Be sure, that you've installed the package 'ca-certificates' for fetching the latest script version - for further details execute 'apt-cache show ca-certificates'

Version 3.5

+ Added '7. Debugging' part to 'INSTALL_USAGE_GUIDE.txt'
+ Added parameter '--latest-version' - if you are a hoster and want to test the latest version first, you are now able to say the script, that you specify the latest version (just write the version string in a file and tell the script, that you want to us it. Example: ./TS3UpdateScript.sh --check --delete-old-logs --inform-online-clients --latest-version /home/demoLab/latestStableVersion.txt)
* Adjusted Backup/Rollback feature - you could now run more than one TS3UpdateScript.sh process at the same time, because the backups are saved under '/tmp/ts3server_backup/root/of/installed/ts_server/'
+ Added parameter '--keep-backups' - if you don't want that the script deletes the backup of your server, you are now able to say this the script

! Set more emails like following: [email protected],[email protected],[email protected]
* Changed script selfcheck: At first check, if the script is running as root and then check the parameters

* Adjusted checks for given parameters (you are now able to set the parameters in an order like you want)
! You need to replace the '=' with a 'space' in parameters, which are using it. For example: Instead "./TS3UpdateScript.sh --autoupdate=no" use "./TS3UpdateScript.sh --autoupdate no"
! You can use each parameter in each order ;)
- Removed not needed code, cause of adjusted parameter checks
* Adjusted output of "help" page: './TS3UpdateScript.sh --help' or './TS3UpdateScript.sh -h'
+ Added E-Mail function: Cronjob will send you an E-Mail with the output of the script
! To use the E-Mail function, you have to provide your E-Mail address in following file: administrator_eMail.txt

* Moved code for searching the latest TeamSpeak 3 server version a bit higher, that it can be used for some other code
+ Added support for update texts: You are now able to use the variable $VERSION to display the latest TeamSpeak 3 server version
! An example for the update text is shown in the default text file and in the INSTALL_USAGE_GUIDE.txt
* Adjusted each output text: You will now see, what the script is doing and the script will write on the right side of your screen the status "OK", "FAILED", "ERROR" or "INFO"
- Removed duplicate code
- Removed unused code, which was commented
* Moved "Searching for directories" higher, to use the information for installing cronjob(s)
+ Added Multi-Instance support for cronjob
* Update to new TS3UpdateScript will just update your CHANGELOG.txt, INSTALL_USAGE_GUIDE.txt and TS3UpdateScript.sh
+ Added support for different serveradmin passwords
! The script will copy the 'password-file' file from the current directory to each TeamSpeak 3 server root directory and will use that file instead of the file from the same directory, where the TS3UpdateScript is located
! You need to run the script once, that the 'password-file' file is copied to each directory: ./TS3UpdateScript.sh --check

+ Added text-files for update messages (auto_update_text.txt and update_text.txt)
! If you want your own information text for online clients, you have to edit these two files
! You need the package/software 'sed', if you want to inform your online clients
* '--inform-online-clients' will now poke each client and not send a global message, because the most users don't read server messages, but pokes for sure
* '--autoupdate=yes' will save all parameters now

* Fixed issue with package/software check for RedHat/CentOS distributations

* ts3server_startscript.sh: COMMANDLINE_PARAMETERS '${2}' will be replaced with 'ts3server.ini', if the ts3server.ini file exists or the MySQL database is used
+ Added option '--path' to set a static TeamSpeak 3 server path
+ Added TS3UpdateScript update function
! You will need a further software package therefore: unzip
* Adjusted software package checks
+ Added feature to set your own poke message sender name: displayed_user_name.txt

* Changed sequence of starting TS3 and TSDNS server (1. TSDNS Server, 2. TS3 Server)
* Changed code of starting TSDNS server, because it searched the config file 'tsdns_settings.ini' in the powered working directory

! Script supports just Debian and RedHat/CentOS systems
