 NOTE: NO BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY IS GUARANTEED FOR 0.x RELEASES !!
 
+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.
+
+ - Some compatibility with Lifelines 3.0.2 is added (not necessarily complete).
+
+release 0.15 (27 March 2002):
+
+ - Again mainly a bugfixing release
+
+ - Compatibility with ftree is added, all GEDCOM files written by ftree
+   should load fine now.
+
+ - Note for developers: you now have to call the function gedcom_init()
+   as soon as possible in your program (before any character set handling
+   is done, see documentation for details).  If the function has not been
+   called, gedcom_parse_file() will return an error.
+
+release 0.14 (20 January 2002):
+
+ - This is mainly a bugfixing release, no extra features have been added.
+
+ - Some example code is available on how to convert from UTF-8 to the locale
+   system, and how to check the library version via configure.in (see the
+   documentation for details).
+
 release 0.13 (5 January 2002):
 
  - Cross-references are now parsed and checked.  For this, an extra type is
