 Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
 
---- 1.5 1999/12/8
+Front-end server automatically switches to original working directory
+when installed as an NT service. Previously -w had to be specified to
+make it work.
+
+Added extended attributes for retrieval module (data1), so that data1
+records carry d1_readXML/SGML attributes. d1_read also supports
+null-data rules ( <tag/>)
+
+On UNIX when POSIX threads are available, a separate library libyazthread
+is created. Programmers should link with that library and the yaz library
+when using threads. The reason for the split was that some applications
+on Linux, such as Apache, doesn't work well when using shared objects that
+relies on threads.
+
+Added SSL support for the COMSTACK. You start yaz-client and yaz-ztest
+(or any frontend server) in SSL mode by specifying ssl: followed by
+address. Only tested on UNIX.
+
+Added feature for CCL module. Virtual structure s=al or s=ol generates
+and-list and or-list respectively instead of phrase search.
+
+Added some OID's.
+
+* Added prefix "yaz_" for the functions log_init.., log_file..  and
+log_mask_str. This was done to avoid name conflicts with other libraries
+(such as other PHP extensions).
+
+Added raw OID member for preferred record syntax (request_format_raw)
+and returned record syntax (output_format_raw) for backend fetch method.
+
+Config file yaz-config now accepts options so that it returns specific
+compile settings, etc. Thanks to Morten Bøgeskov <morten@bogeskov.dk>
+
+Shared library support for UNIX using GNU libtool.
+
+* Modified backend interface. Request/Response struct's replaced by
+one read/write C struct. For example bend_fetchrequest and
+bend_fetchresult have been replaced by single bend_fetch_rr struct.
+Every handler - even search has to be registered in bend_init
+handler. This means that the YAZ library no longer refers to
+external functions and it makes it possible to make the whole
+thing a single DLL/SO.
+
+Added Segment handler for backend server.
+
+Added Zmbol/Zebra administrative functions to YAZ client.
+
+Threaded frontend server on UNIX (when POSIX Threads are available).
+Starting the server with option -T enables multi-threading.
+
+--- 1.6 2000/03/03
+
+Added configure option --enable-comp/disable-comp to control use
+of YAZ ASN.1 compiler. Use --disable-comp to use the old *coders
+located in sub directory asn.
+
+YAZ ASN.1 compiler renamed to yaz-comp in sub directory. It's installed
+in ${exec_prefix}/bin along with the other programs yaz-client and
+yaz-ztest.
+
+GNU automake used to maintain makefiles.
+
+Added several OID's.
+
+Changed retrieval module so that we can load records with no abstract
+syntax defined. Tagpaths in these records are fully composed of string
+tags.
+
+Implemented ISO ILL protocol. Refer to stuff in sub directory ill.
+
+--- 1.5 1999/12/10
 
 On UNIX, the generated makefile now supports a proper 'make install'.
 The prefix can be set via GNU configure to set the install location
