-0.5  (IN PROGRESS)
+0.5  (IN PROGRESS, currently at RC2)
+       - Add an extra back-end method,
+               byte[] toType1BER(Properties config)
+         which generates an opaque BER-encoded PDU suitable for
+         forwarding to Z39.50 server as a pasrt of a searchRequest
+         APDU.  This was contributed by Ralph Levan <levan@oclc.org>
+       - Add srw.resultSet support to the toPFQ() method.
+       - Add new resultSetName() method to CQLNode and its
+         subclasses, returning the name of the referenced result-set
+         for a node that is just a result-set reference, and null for
+         anything else.
        - Change regression-test rules for Adam's compiler to use his
          new front-end cql2xcql instead of the old cqlparse3.
-       - Fix comment in etc/pqf.properties (claimed that the Type-1
-         "string" attribute was "phrase").  Just a documentation
-         error.
+       - Change the names of the anchoring properties in
+         etc/pqf.properties and the CQLTermNode code that examines
+         them, in accordance with Adam's PQF-renderer's behaviour.
+         This gives more flexibility in terms of generating
+         attributes for end-of-field anchoring.  Various other minor
+         tweaks to the pqf.properties file, mostly to the comments.
+       - Change the capitalisation of the project name from
+         "cql-java" to "CQL-Java".  That doesn't really make any
+         difference to anything: in particular, file-names such as
+         "cql-java.jar" remain the same.

        - Add support for the new "phonetic" relation modifier,

          followed by a TT_WORD.  The problem here is that I don't
          think it's actually possible to fix this without throwing
          out StreamTokenizer and rolling our own, which we absolutely
-         _don't_ want to do.
-       - Add srw.resultSet support to the toPFQ() method.
-       - Write some "glue" code to generate a BER-encoded Type-1
-         query packet using ZJKit's PQF-compiler and the facilities
-         for serialising the resulting Type-1 tree representation.
+       - Fix term-to-PQF translation to omit empty properties
+         (for the broken Korean server)
        - Write "package.html" file for the javadoc documentation.
        - Some niceties for the cql-decompiling back-end:
          * Don't emit redundant parentheses.
          * Don't put spaces around relations that don't need them.
-       - Consider the utility of yet another back-end that translates
-         a CQLNode tree into JZKit's representation of a Type-1 query
-         tree.  That would be nice so that CQL could become a JZKit
-         query-type; but you could achieve the same effect by
-         generating PQF, and running that through JZKit's existing
-         PQN-to-Type-1 compiler.
        - Many refinements to the random query generator:
          * Generate relation modifiers
          * Proximity support
