+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.
