+
+version 0.4.0 (20-November-2008):
+	* Bumped up the required minimum version of GTK+ to 2.10.0.
+	* Bump the notification spec version we're compliant with to 1.0.
+	* Send the reason code along with the NotificationClosed signal in order
+	  to indicate why the notification was closed. (Bug #137)
+	* Send an error if the user attempts to close an already closed
+	  notification.
+	* Text is now escaped in the summary in the Standard theme so that
+	  ampersands and other special characters show up instead of disappearing.
+	  (Bug #132)
+	* Set the type hint for notifications to TYPE_NOTIFICATION. (Bug #146)
+	* Added support for playing sounds when the "sound-file" hint is set or
+	  when the default_sound MateConf key is set, as well as support for the
+	  "suppress-sound" hint. Patch by Jim Ramsay. (Ticket #111)
+	* Added a control panel applet for controlling such things as the
+	  notification theme and popup positions. Patch by John Wendell.
+	  (Ticket #126)
+	* Added better support for attaching context notifications to an icon on
+	  the system tray, even when it moves. Patch by Colin Walters.
+	* Added an Arabic translation. Patch by Djihed Afifi. (Ticket #131)
+	* Added an Italian translation. Patch by Luca Ferretti.
+	* Fixed a bug where text would sometimes get truncated. (Ticket #162)
+	* Fixed a bug where notifications weren't displayed if a fullscreen
+	  window was minimized. (Bug #142)
+	* Fixed a bug where we were quitting on theme engine failure, instead of
+	  falling back to the default theme engine. Patch by
+	  driehuis-at-playbeing.org. (Ticket #128)
+	* Fixed a bug where notifications with arrows were crossing the monitor
+	  on multihead setups instead of staying on their head. Patch by M.S.
+	  (Bug #5)
+	* Fixed the close button size on the notifications so that they don't
+	  stretch. Patch by Luca Cavelli. (Bug #127)
+	* Fixed a crash when an unsupported value type was passed in for the
+	  urgency when using the standard theme. (Bug #135)
+
+version 0.3.7 (27-February-2007):
+	* Fixed a compatibility issue with dbus-glib 0.72. Patch by Pawel Worach.
+	  (Bug #95)
+	* The background of the window in the standard theme is now just slightly
+	  transparent when compiled against GTK+ 2.10 and when using a composite
+	  manager. Patch by Matt Walton. (Ticket #110)
+	* Fix several rendering glitches with the borders in the standard theme.
+	* Fix a memory leak when removing a notification. Patch by Sven Wegener.
+	  (Bug #105).
+	* Added initial accessibility support with the standard theme engine.
+	* Clicking anywhere in a notification should now close the notification.
+	  This was happening only on the body text sometimes.
+
+version 0.3.6 (8-October-2006):
+	* Added a MateConf key to allow users to specify which corner of the screen
+	  notifications should appear in. Patch by M.S. (Ticket #57)
+	* Added a Dutch translation from Wouter Bolsterlee. (Bug #55)
+	* Fixed compatibility problems with D-BUS v0.61. (Bugs #67, #75)
+	* A notification's timeout will now pause while the mouse is hovering over
+	  the notification. This allows users to respond to notifications without
+	  it suddenly disappearing before the user clicks. (Ticket #73)
+	* Fixed a crash under some icon themes where the base size of an icon
+	  was being returned as 0. (Bug #61)
+	* Fixed an assertion failure under newer versions of GTK+ during a
+	  notification's destruction. Patch by Ed Catmur. (Bug #77)
+	* Fixed type validation for raw icon data. Patch by Ed Catmur.
+	  (Bugs #75, #67)
+	* Fixed a problem where a replaces_id that points to a non-existant
+	  notification would cause a broken notification where timeouts and
+	  action invoking fails. In this case, a new ID is generated. Patch by
+	  Ed Catmur. (Bug #76)
+	* Fixed a memory leak that occurred every time a notification went away.
+	  Patch by Nick Schermer.
+
+version 0.3.5 (26-April-2006):
+	* Add three new required theme functions:
+	  - theme_check_init - determines if the theme is compatible with the
+	    running version of notification-daemon.
+	  - get_theme_info - returns info on the theme.
+	  - clear_notification_actions - Clears the notification action buttons
+	    on the window.
+	* Disabled the Bubble theme for this release. It's the source of too
+	  many bugs.
+	* Fix the scaling of different icon sizes. Now small icons display as
+	  small, and larger icons are scaled down to 48x48.
+	* Fixed a problem where icons were being clipped in notifications.
+	  Patch by M.S. (Bug #21)
+	* Fixed incorrect usage of GtkIconTheme. (Bug #38)
+	* Fixed notifications with a timeout of 2147484ms or longer expiring
+	  in less than a second. (Bug #22)
+	* Fixed a bug where a notification would duplicate its actions when
+	  updated. (Bug #30)
+	* The Standard theme's countdown timer is now rendered using Cairo when
+	  compiled against Gtk 2.8.0 or higher. This improves the timer by making
+	  it antialiased.
+	* Renamed notification-daemon.service to
+	  org.freedesktop.Notifications.service.
+
+version 0.3.4 (4-February-2006):
+	* Added a Close button to notifications. This closed ticket #8. Thanks
+	  to Michael Vogt for the basis of this patch.
+	* Fixed a few bugs (including crashes) involving the freeing of
+	  memory when notifications and theme enginers are destroyed.
+	* Fixed the theme engines to be installed as unversioned libraries.
+	  Thanks to Rodney Dawes for this patch.
+	* Fixed a bug where the notification window was not realized, causing
+	  a crash. This fixes bug #10.
+	* Fixed a crash in the Bubble theme when clicking an action.
+	* Fixed action ordering in the Bubble theme.
+	* Made the destroy_notification, show_notification, hide_notification,
+	  and set_notification_hints theme engine functions optional.
+	* Added set_notification_timeout and notification_tick theme engine
+	  functions.
+	* Made several improvements to the Standard theme:
+	  - The left-hand color stripe has been made smaller and now reflects
+	    the urgency level set.
+	  - Added a pie-based countdown timer for notifications containing
+	    actions. This allows the user to see how long they have to react to
+	    a notification.
+	  - Converted the action links into buttons. These are now left-aligned
+	    and make a reasonable attempt to find an appropriate stock icon.
+	  - Allow the notification to be very short when no icons, body text or
+	    actions are specified.
+
+version 0.3.3 (25-January-2006):
+	* Install and check for engines in
+	  $(libdir)/notification-daemon-1.0/engines, as opposed to
+	  $(libdir)/notification-daemon/engines.
+	* Notifications no longer appear over full screen windows or
+	  screensavers.
+	* When using icontheme icons, the icon with a size closest to 48x48
+	  is used. If the icon is smaller than 48x48, the icon is left unscaled,
+	  but if it's larger, it's scaled down.
+
+version 0.3.2 (23-January-2006):
+	* Renamed the program back to notification-daemon.
+	* Reverted the default look back to the notification-daemon 0.2.x look,
+	  but with improvements, such as flexible arrow positioning and cleaner
+	  action separators.
+	* Updated to match the notification spec correctly.
+	* Added the beginnings of theme support. The look from
+	  notification-daemon v0.3.1 can be set in a MateConf key, though it is
+	  not yet fully functional.
+	* Added back action support.
+	* Added back support for D-BUS 0.36 and higher.
+	* Added back the GetCapabilities and GetServerInformation calls.
+	* Added back suppor for markup and hyperlinks in the new theme.
+	* Fix several cases of C99 usage, and other compiler problems.
+	* Fixed a bug where the desktop work area (the area excluding panels)
+	  wasn't being taken into consideration when positioning notifications.
+	* Fixed several crash bugs.
+
+version 0.3.1:
+	* First release of the notify daemon which supports the new 0.3.x protocol
+	* Users of the older notification-daemon must make sure they uninstall it
+	  as it will try to catch messages ment for the notify-daemon
+
+version 0.2.4 (6-November-2005):
+	* Support clicking on hyperlinks.
+
+version 0.2.3 (6-November-2005):
+	* Depends on libsexy for the URL label.
+
+version 0.2.2 (10-August-2005):
+	* Fixed several run-time issues on PPC and AMD64 (Martin Pitt)
+	* Notifications that are created at the same time will disappear at
+	  the same time.
+	* Notifications that don't expire until the user clicks on them will
+	  no longer block notifications that do expire.
+
+version 0.2.1 (28-July-2005):
+	* Fixed hint support for D-BUS 0.3x.
+	* Fixed a compile issue with GCC 4.0.
+
+version 0.2.0 (28-July-2005):
+	* Initial public release.
