+	* Macros are defined via regular expressions instead of
+	  prefixes.  This nice idea has been suggested by Alejandro
+	  Forero Cuervo.
+
+	* Really no dupes are stored in the command history.
+
+	* The size and layout of the applet will be modified
+          automatically if the panel size is changed.
+
+	* Command completion is now provided by a new function by
+          Travis Hume.  Since his routine is not based on a bash
+          script (like my old function) it should be faster.
+
+	* Mini-Commander has no longer an internal version number.
+	  Instead the version number of MATE is used from now on.
+
+	* Halfline had the idea to implement an history base auto
+	  completion and wrote the inital code.  This feature is
+	  optional.
+
+
+Release 1.0.0:
+	
+	* This is v1.0.0 because all basic features have been
+	  implemented.
+
+	* Allow pasting into the input box with the middle mouse
+	  button (idea taken from the applet WebControl by Garrett
+	  Smith).
+
+	* Prefix matching has been improved.
+
+	* Three very useful macros from Chad Powell have been added.
+	  I had to increase the maximum allowed macro length just for
+	  his macros ;-). You need to remove ~/.mate/mini-commander
+	  to get this new default macro.  Here is Chad's own
+	  description:
+
+		The following macro for the Mini-Commander allows you
+		to enter av:searchstring and search on altavista.  It
+		automatically changes ", +, and spaces to the right
+		characters for the url.  I thought you might want to
+		add this to the default macros.  I got the idea from
+		the new web-search applet, thought that rather than
+		have a seperate applet, it would be pretty easy to
+		make Mini-Commander do it.
+
+	  He also wrote macros for yahoo and freshmeat which have been
+	  included as default macros.
+
+	* Signal handler installation routine has been rewritten.
+	  Hopefully this will fix the "zombie" problem which a few
+	  people (Charles Duffy and Brian J. Murrell) have reported.
+
+
+	* A patch from Nick Lamb has been added which makes the handle
+	  box optional.  He writes:
+
+		I saw in your TODO, that you wanted to make the
+		Handle-box widget optional, and since people not a
+		million miles from me in this lab kept moaning about
+		it, I had an itch to scratch :)
+
+
+
+Release 0.0.14:
+
+	* Mini-Commander can be detached from panel. This is useful
+          for people who use vertical panel.
+
+	* Up to 99 changeable macros are supported.
+
+	* File browser added.
+
+	* Clickable history list added. [suggested by Brian J. Murrell]
+
+	* Dupes are no longer stored in command history.
+
+	* History is stored when the program is terminated and
+	  restored when it is started later.
+
+	* Command completion has been enhanced.  Now it works even
+	  if a prefix is used.  Also it delivers the largest possible
+	  completion even if the given command is not unique.
+
+	* Preferences bug fixed.

+	  (for non-X programs).
