-New attribute "backendtype" for syntax section which specifies
+YAZ Proxy may use USEMARCON to convert between various MARC
+formats. Use --with-usemarcon to specify Usemarcon location.
+See config-mafi2ma.xml for an example configuration.
+Requires USEMARCON 1.5, which can be fetched from:
+ http://www.bl.uk/services/bibliographic/usemarcon.html
+
+Added support for XInclude for configuration file(s) so that
+configuration can be partitioned in multiple files.
+
+Fixed bug #189: Bad authenticated session transfer.
+
+New config element "authentication" which specifies authentication
+(Open v2/v3 Z39.50) to be used for backend.
+
+New config attribute "backendcharset" for syntax element which specifies
+charset (encoding) for record that is returned by backend. If omitted
+the proxy assumes backend record encoding is MARC-8 (for backwards
+compatibility). 
+
+New config attribute "backendtype" for syntax element which specifies
 record syntax to be transmitted to backend. This allows proxy to
 offer a record syntax different from that offered by backend.
