+Bug fixes: #638, #647, #657, #669.
 
-New record filter (record type) alvis which uses XSLT to drive both
-indexing as well as retrieval. 
+Implement skip of 0 hit counts in scan. Useful for scan operations
+limited by a result set.
 
-isamb is now the default ISAM system. In Zebra 1.3, the default ISAM was
-isamc. The type used can still be configured with the 'isam' setting
-in zebra.cfg.
+Honor position attribute, i.e. allow first-in-field search. To
+enable this, "firstinfield 1" must be given for an index in
+default.idx. Enabled in tab/default.idx for w. At this stage
+first-in field is supported for phrase/and-list/or-list searches
 
-Index structure is now 64-bit based. No more 2GB limits.
+Common stream reader interface for record filters (struct ZebraRecStream).
+
+Debian package fix: packages idzebra-2.0 + libidzebra-2.0-modules did
+not depend properly on sub packages.

 Zebra uses string attributes for indexing internally. Using set+numeric

 Zebra record filters (record type handlers) may be built as loadable
 modules (.so's) on Unix. In particular the Zebra 2.0 Debian package uses
 separate packages for each of them. This also means that zebra programs
 such as zebraidx is no longer depending on Tcl/other..
 
-Documentation updates, especially on queries, SRU, XSLT support.
+Documentation updates, especially on query structure and syntax, SRU,
