+--- 1.3.0 2002/MM/DD
+
+Zebra license changed to GNU GPL.
+
+XPATH-like queries used when RPN string attributes are used, eg.
+   @attr 1=/portal/title sometitle
+   @attr 1=/portal/title[@xml:lang=da] danishtitle
+   @attr 1=/portal/title/@xml:lang da
+   @attr 1=//title sometitle
+
+Zebra uses UTF-8 internally:
+1) New setting "encoding" for zebra.cfg that specifies encoding for
+OCTET terms in queries and record encoding for most transfer syntaxes
+(except those that use International Strings, such as GRS-1).
+2) The encoding of International strings is UTF-8 by default. It
+may be changed by character set negotiation. If character set
+negotiation is in effect and if records are selected for conversion
+these'll be converted to the selected character set - thus overriding
+the encoding setting in zebra.cfg.
+
+3) New directive "encoding" in .abs-files. This specifies the
+external for files indexed by zebra. However, if records themselves
+have an XML header that specifies and encoding that'll be used
+instead.
+
+XML filter (-t grs.xml).
+
+Multiple registers. New setting in resource 'root' that holds base
+directory for register(s). A group a databases may be put in separate
+register in directory root/reg by using db name 'reg/db1' ... 'reg/dbN'.
+
+--- 1.1.1 2002/03/21
+
+Fixes for Digital Unix
+
+Implemented hits per term using USR:SearchResult-1.
+

+
+--- 1.1.stable 2002/02/20
+
+Rank weight can be controlled with attribute type 9. Default
+value is 34. Recommended values between 1-36.
+
+--- 1.1 2001/10/25
+
+Updated for YAZ version 1.8.
+
+Added support for termsets - a result set of terms matching
+a given query. For @attr 8=<set> creates termset named <set>.
+
+Added support for raw retrieval. Element Set Name R forces the
+text filter which returns the record in its original form.
+
+Added numerical sort - triggered by structure=numeric (4=109).
+
+Remote record import using Z39.50 Extended Services and Segments.
+
+Fixed bug where updating a database with user-defined attributes
+could corrupt the register (bad storeKeys).
+
+Multi-threaded version.
+
+Fixed bug regarding proximity.
+
+Documentation updates.

+Fixed bug in record retrieval module that occured on 64-bit OSF 
+architectures.
