Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
+Fixed bug in client.c which caused a crash when a scanResponse didn't
+contain positionOfTerm.
+
+* Fixed inconsistency in the ScanResponse/ListEntries protocol. This
+* will cause an error in a client if a non-YAZ target sends both a
+* list of Scan entries and non-surrogate diagnostics.
+
+Retrieval module enhancements. Tag sets may be typed in the reference
+to it. From the .abs-file the "tagset" directive takes a third optional
+integer type for the tag set referenced. From a .tag-file the "include"
+directive takes a third optional type as well. The old "type" directive
+in the tag set itself is still recognized but acts as the default type
+for the tag set.
+
+Backend interface change. Individual Scan terms returned from bend_scan
+may also be tagged as Surrogate Diagnostics. Refer to struct scan_entry
+in include/backend.h.
+
+Retrieval module enhancements. Multiple tag sets and attribute sets may
+be specified in abstract syntax specs. Revised the error/warning for
+logging messages reported by the retrieval module when reading the
+various spec files.
+
+Object Identifier system (oid_..) changed. The API is backwards
+compatible but the oid-routines now allocates new OID's when needed.
+Raw OID's may be specified in oid_getvalbyname.
+
+YAZ now uses GNU configure to generate Makefile(s).
+
+* Minor changes in some of the member names of DeleteResultSetRequest and
+DeleteResultSetResponse. See include/proto.h.
+
+* Changed some C definitions regarding EXPLAIN record syntax (prt-exp.h)
+and added member 'languages' in TargetInfo (which was missing).
+
+Changed the way attribute sets are handled in the retrieval
+module. These are now cached, just like the abstract syntaxes
+(schemas).
+
+Changed YAZ so that it links with compiled ASN.1.
+
+Added Explain-schema definitions and mapping routines. The following
+Explain categories have been implemented: AttributeDetails,
+AttributeSetInfo, DatabaseInfo, CategoryList and TargetInfo.
+
+Fixed minor bug in Windows version of Server Library.
