 NOTE: NO BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY IS GUARANTEED FOR 0.x RELEASES !!
 
-release 0.17 (??):
+release 0.17 (12 September 2002):
+
+ - New features (see documentation):
+     - new function gedcom_get_by_xref
+     - age values are parsed
+     - gedcom object model in C
 
  - INTERFACE CHANGE: the callback functions now take an extra argument: the
    record/element identifier (that is also used as first argument in the
    *_subscribe_* functions).  The extra argument is the first argument.
 
+ - INTERFACE CHANGE: Age values are now parsed: an extra type is added to
+   the types possible in a Gedcom_val: an age_value (see documentation for
+   details).  So, instead of GEDCOM_STRING, you now need to use GEDCOM_AGE
+   for age values.
+   As a quick change, you can use the raw_value instead of the parsed_value
+   until you make the real change of using the struct age_value.
+
+ - INTERFACE CHANGE: The type of an xref_value can also be XREF_ANY, if
+   the actual type is not known yet.  This is e.g. used in the case of an
+   association (ASSO): the cross-reference can be any object type, the
+   actual type is given by the TYPE subtag.

 release 0.16 (16 August 2002):
 
  - Another bugfixing release.
