+				Briefly explaining the most important changes in each release in relatively easy terms.
+				Very many changes are not mentioned here.

+				<A HREF="history.html">Development history</A> going back to the beginning of the project, November 22, 2008.
+				One-line entries for important commits, releases, merges, hackathons and talks.
+				Makes it easy to find out who did what, and when, and when it became available where.
+				However, this is still incomplete, mentioning only a small fraction of all commits,
+				and to keep the size down, the individual entries are extremely terse and technical.
+				Feel free to look up more details and longer explanations about individual entries
+				in the ChangeLog or in CVS.

+				<A HREF="ChangeLog">CVS ChangeLog</A> going back to the beginning of the project.
+				Very technical information of varying quality, strictly chronological.
+				All commits are mentioned, but some messages neglect to mention some changes.
+				Partly terse, partly detailed and verbose.  In any case, the ChangeLog is very long -
+				more than 25,000 lines, more than 700 kB.
