control-spec: upcase arguments in status events; note unimplemented events individually r11825@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-03 17:41:43 -0500 Implement EXTERNAL IP server status event. r11826@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-03 17:47:10 -0500 Implement BAD_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR server status event. r11827@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-03 18:01:56 -0500 Implement SOCKS_UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL and DANGEROUS_SOCKS client events. r11828@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-03 18:23:22 -0500 Implement BUG controller events. Also, flush ERR-level status events just like ERR-level log messages. r11829@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-03 23:37:27 -0500 Yet more status events: CLOCK_SKEW, GOOD/ACCEPTED_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR, {CHECKING_}REACHABILITY_{SUCCEEDED|FAILED} r11833@Kushana: nickm | 2007-01-05 16:56:37 -0500 Note some unimplementedness in control-spec.txt svn:r9279
