     the current view

   Bugs fixed:

     in a crash if the time column had an undef value in it, which is 
     the case when a thread is in the 'Connect' state
   * updated innotop.spec file to reflect current version

2009-02-23: version 1.7.0

     localhost using mysql_read_default_group=client
   * embedded maatkit's DSNParser.pm and added support for --user,
     --password, --host, --port
