3.1.0:
  * Added client/daemon hook script code. Two new options
    for the pxeconfig.conf file
   - daemon_script_hook
   - client_script_hook

    We use these scripts to open (client_script_hook) and close
    (daemon_script_hook) ports on the firewall. So not everybody can do
    an rsync or use a bittorrent client to get useful info.

    Authors: Bas van der Vlies and Walter de Jong (SARA)

    by configuration file option.

    python path.

   Author: Bas van der Vlies

 - In analogue with systemimager we have a -H,--host-range <number>-<number>
   option. It must be used in combinatiion with -b,--basebane, eg:
     pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 1-2 -filename default.memtestZ

   will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts
      - gb-r1n1
      - gb-r1n2

  If leading zeros are used, then host names will be padded with zeros.
     pxeconfig --basename gb-r1n --host-range 01-02 -filename default.memtestZ

  will produce links to file default.memtest for these hosts

       - gb-r1n1
       - gb-r1n2
       - gb-r2n1
       - gb-r2n2

  If leading zeros are used, then rack and/or node names will be padded with
  zeros, eg:
     pxeconfig --basename gb- --rack r01-r02 --node n01-n02 -f default.memtest

     will produce links to file defaul.memtest for these hosts:
       - gb-r01n01
       - gb-r01n02
       - gb-r02n01

 The PXE-menu tools are used to control the booting of networked computers
 directly from the computer's console at the BIOS level before any operating
 system has been loaded.  This is extremely useful for diagnostic purposes,
 or for selecting an operating system installation method, of an individual
 computer.  For further information please read the files README-pxemenu and
 INSTALL-pxemenu.
