+Bug #600: SRU GET, POST support for yaz-client. Introduced
+command 'sru' which selects method SOAP/GET/POST.
+
+Allow missingValueAction to be specified for the sortspec string - 
+function yaz_sort_spec. By default, the missing value action is null.
+Use ! to specify "abort". Use = followed by stringvalue to specify default
+value.
+
+Ensured that Present-handler (if defined) is called in GFS before any call to
+fetch-hhndler.  This now includes piggy-backed presents as well as SRW/U
+searchRetrieve requests.
+
+Documentation for YAZ is now based on the Docbook XML/XSLT using
+xsltproc + N Walsh's stylesheets. It means that the CVS version of YAZ
+is no longer depending on jade/openjade or docbook-to-man scripts.
+PDF is no longer part of the distribution - but can optionally be
+made using DSSSL/jadetex or FOP.
+
+Added retrieval handling support in Generic Frontend Server to support
+conversion between MARC/XML as well as XSLTtransforms. See
+etc/yazgfs.xml for an example.
+
+Added Authentication support to Generic Frontend Server in SRU
+mode. Authentication using HTTP Basic is supported, as is the use
+of 'x-username' and 'x-password' parameters in the request itself.
+
+Added support for a new character set MARC8s identical to MARC8 except
+that it converts combined characters to single Unicode characters in the
+Latin-1 range (when possible).
