+* Fri Jan  7 2005 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.7-1
+- Improvements to regression-test machinery.  
+- Document the FAQ about comparing a tree to itself.
+
 * Mon Sep 20 2004 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> - 2.6-1
 - Ignore .svn files and and SVN subdirectories.  Typo fixes on manual page.

 * Mon Dec 29 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 2.3-1
 - Source RPMs no longer depend on myversion symbol.
+- New -N option style supports multiple normalizers.
+- Fix a bug that might have caused a SEGV on really large shreds.
 
 * Wed Dec 24 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 2.2-1
 - Better error reporting in comparator.py.
+- Fix a packaging error.
+
+* Tue Sep 19 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 2.1-1
+- Refactored code to make it possible to plug in new feature analyzers.
+- Logic for handling trailing blank lines in files works slightly better.
+
+* Mon Sep 18 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 2.0-1
+- Now uses custom 8-byte digest function suggested by Ron Rivest, the inventor
+  of MD5.  The new function is faster and about halves the size of SCF files.
+  This format change is not compatible with 1.x versions.
+- There is a new -m option to set the minimum span size to be output.
+  The filterator -s option has been changed to -m to match it.
+- filterator is now a wrapper around comparator.py, a loadable Python
+  module which can be used to write other report generators.
+- Significance filtering for C and shell is now done within comparator
+  itself, and is accordingly much faster.
+- FreeBSD port patches from Warren Toomey.
+
+* Fri Sep 15 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.6-1
+- Regression-test production now in place.
+- Second application of qsort trick, for significant speedups on
+  trees with many common matches.
+- New -v option to enable progress messages; they're off by default.
+
+* Fri Sep 12 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.5-1
+- Fix bug in -r option.
+- Capture trailing braces (as on C functions) in chunks even when they are
+  ignored for comparison purposes.
+- Range reports now include the line length of the file.
+- Documentation improvements.
+
+* Fri Sep 12 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.4-1
+- Fix brown-paper-bag bug in reduction logic, introduced when I optimized it.
+- SCF-B format now includes codebase size so we can compute percentages.
+- filterator now generates a trailer containing percentage overlaps.

+* Fri Sep 12 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.3-1
+- -C now implies -w.
+- A new -r option strips comments.
+- Code is cleaned up to pass gcc -Wall.
+- filterator can now perform significance checks on shreds from shellscripts.
+- There        is now a progress meter while making SCF files.
+- The logic for merging ranges has been seriously speed-tuned and is 
+  66% faster.  This code is O(n--2) on the number of common shreds and
+  is the bottleneck on large trees.
+
+* Wed Sep 10 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.2-1
+- Add -C option; -w wasn't good enough to make indent-style difference
+  invisible by itself.
+
+* Tue Sep 09 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.1-1
+- Fix silly division by zero error. Add COPYING file.
+- Add -s option to filterator and make it ignore form feeds in filtered mode.
+
+* Sun Sep  7 2003 Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> 1.0
 - Initial build.
