+USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN ACE-5.4 and ACE-5.4.1
+====================================================
+
+ACE
+---
+
+. Fixed "make install" support in ACE+autoconf configurations.
+
+. Fixed autoconf support on Solaris.
+
+. Corrected invalid `aux' directory (on MS Windows) found in ACE
+  distribution.
+
+. ACE/TAO build now without problems with MinGW and all ACE tests run
+  now without problems
+
+. Added some more support for the new CBuilderX Preview compiler, this
+  is not 100% ready yet because the compiler is still a preview and
+  has its own problems.
+
+. Added Visual SlickEdit 8.1 MPC template
+
+. Added workaround for compile problems in Borland Release builds
+
+. Cygwin 1.5.9 is now supported
+
+. Tests for IPV6 have been added
+
+. Implement lstat() so that it'll use stat() on platforms that don't
+  support lstat(). 
+
+. Problems related to ACE_Event_Handler usage in WFMO_Reactor was
+  fixed. 
+ 
+. A wrapper for rmdir () has been added. 
+
+. Threads spawned in thread-per-connection mode never inherited the
+  priority. This problem was fixed and this fix is consistent with the
+  C++ NPV* books. 
+
+. Fixed memory leaks with ACE_String_Base::resize ()
+
+. Enable the usage of native recursive mutexes for the implementation
+  of ACE recursive mutexes on Linux. 
+
+. The ACE Proactor framework can now be enabled for AIX 5.2. Since AIO 
+  functionality is not run-time enabled by default on AIX 5.2, the ACE
+  Proactor code is not built by default on AIX. To enable it, the
+  config.h file must contain #define ACE_HAS_AIO_CALLS before
+  including the config-aix-5.1.h file.
+
+. The ACE_POSIX_CB_Proactor implementation is now built on all
+  platforms except LynxOS. 
+

+USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN CIAO-0.4 and CIAO-0.4.1
+====================================================
+
+CIAO
+----
+
+. Added support for statically configuring an assembly. Please see
+  $CIAO_ROOT/docs/static_toc_ciao.html for details. 
+
+CIDL:
+-----
+. Fixed incorrect generation of ACE environment macros in servant glue
+  code operations. 
+
+. Fixed incorrect code generation in the body of a servant operation
+  that delegates to the executor class. 
+
+. Added support for attributes in facets and supported
+  interfaces.
+
+. Fixed bug in code servant glue code generation when there are
+  multiple nested modules in the IDL and/or CIDL files. 
+
+. Added missing code generation of enum type names.
+
+. Fixed a bug in the generation of the scoped name of a local variable
+  which is a _var of an executor interface for a facet. These types
+  are required by the CCM spec to be generated in the same scope as
+  the interface that underlies the facet.
+
+. Fixed a bug in the generation of *S.h file includes corresponding to
+  IDL files included in the CIDL file. 
+
+. Added ACE style Makefiles. 
+
+. Added support for bounded strings
+
+MPC
+===
+. Removed all of the project type specific and unnecessary keywords.
+
+. Changed the defaulting rules for idl files (generated source files
+  will be automatically added even if idl files are explicitly
+  listed). 
+
+. The makefiles generated by the gnuace type are now named GNUmakefile 
+  instead of Makefile.
+
+. The IDL_Files section is no longer a built-in MPC type.  It is a
+  custom build type defined in taoidldefaults.mpb.
+
+. Added support for Borland Makefiles that aren't tied to ACE_wrappers 
+  (the bmake project type).
+
+. Added wild-cards to the default.rel file.  Now, environment
+  variables that end in _ROOT are automatically considered as if they
+  were used with the -relative option.
+
+. Added an environment variable,
+  MPC_DEPENDENCY_COMBINED_STATIC_LIBRARY, to force MPC to put
+  inter-project dependencies in static vc6 and vc71 workspaces.
+
+. Added an html project type (originally by Justin Michel) to aid in
+  the debugging of mpc files.
+
+. Added a new keyword, pure_libs, that is put into a project
+  unmodified (unlike the libs and lit_libs keywords). 
+
+. The behavior obtained through the use of the -hierarchy option is
+  now the default for all "make" based project types.  This includes
+  borland, bmake, gnuace, make and nmake.
+
+. Added support for referencing workspace files (.mwc) from within
+  other workspaces.
+
+. Added an option, -genins, that causes MPC to generate .ins files
+  that can be used with prj_install.pl.  This will help users install
+  portions of their projects into alternate directories.
+
+. Modified the gnuace workspace output to be based on directory
+  recursion instead of having inter-project dependencies built into
+  each workspace level GNUmakefile.
+
+. Added a new keyword, dependent, for use within a Define_Custom that 
+  causes MPC to add a dependency to generated files upon the custom
+  command. 
+
+. Assignments within a 'specific' section that are not recognized MPC 
+  keywords are assumed to be template value overrides (similar to
+  using the -value_template option).
+
+. Partial support for Visual SlickEdit has been added. 
+  
+. Various bug fixes and optimizations have been added as well.

+USER VISIBLE CHANGES BETWEEN TAO-1.4 and TAO-1.4.1
+==================================================
+
+ORB
+---
+.  Changed the name of a parameter to the TAO type code
+   internal method to avoid a name clash with STL.
+
+. Added the spec-required ostream insertion operator for
+  CORBA::Exception* to go with the existing ostream
+  insertion operator for CORBA::Exception&.
+
+. Moved the above ostream insertion operators into the
+  CORBA namespace, so they cannot be accidentally hidden by an
+  application. 
+
+. Moved the declaration of Any operators for some ORB
+  types so that the corresponding definitions may
+  remain unlinked if the Any operators are not used in
+  an application.
+
+. Fixed typo in type code factory code that is compiled
+  only when ACE_SWAP_ON_WRITE is defined.
+
+. Several fixes to MakeProjectCreator (MPC) files, which
+  generate GNU makefiles, Borland makefiles, and Microsoft
+  Visual Studio project files.
+
+. Fixed Any insertion and extraction operators for bounded
+  strings and wstrings to prevent an error if they are
+  inserted as bounded with bound 0 and extracted as
+  unbounded, or vice versa.
+
+. Deprecated the TAO-specific _type() method for exceptions.
+  which is no longer used anywhere in TAO, and is retained
+  solely for backward compatibility.
+
+. Fixed bug in TAO_SSLIOP pluggable protocol that prevented large
+  requests from being sent.  [Bug 1429]
+
+. Cleaned up interceptor memory leaks that occurred when
+  CORBA::ORB::destroy() was called.
+
+. Fixed problem where a ServerRequestInterceptor could be called after
+  the ORB was shutdown.  [Bug 1642]
+
+. Overhauled PICurrent support to fix several problems. [Bug 1215, 1738]
+
+. SSLIOP documentation is now available.
+
+. Fixed memory leaks in servers when the ORB is operating in a
+  thread-per-connection  mode. This problem showed up when clients
+  keep connecting and disconnecting from the servers. 
+
+. Fixed memory leaks in AMI clients that connect to a servers over
+  unreliable connections that keeps getting dropped. 
+
+. Fixed a race connection in Any_Impl implementation. 
+
+. Fixed a byte order problem with DSI gateways
+
+. Added support for OVATION to work with this BFO of TAO. 
+
+IDL COMPILER
+-------------
+
+. Changed the names of some local variables in generated
+  operation code, to reduce that chance of a name clash.
+
+. Fixed bug where a #pragam version directive is sometimes
+  not reflected in the generated repository id.
+
+. Disambiguated generated template instantiations for array
+  _var, _out and _forany classes, when two or more arrays
+  have the same element type and bound.
+
+. Added check for a name clash between a valuetype member
+  and the first segment of a scoped name referenced in
+  the valuetype.
+
+. Fixed incorrect code generation for the CDR operator of a
+  struct/union/exception with an undefined forward declared
+  interface member.
+
+. Fixed incorrect code generation for operation arguments
+  that are typedefs of char, octet and boolean.
+
+. Fixed bug in handling complex recursive types.
+
+. Added -GId command line option to generate line and
+  file debug info in *I.* files, similar to what is
+  already generated in *C.* and *S.* files. This debug
+  info generation is now off by defaul in *I.* files.
+
+. Fixed the handling of included orb.idl file to generate
+  corresponding C++ includes for the files orb.idl
+  itself includes, which contain spec-required declarations
+  of sequences of basic CORBA types.
+
+. Fixed generation of ORB file includes triggered by the
+  presence of one or more abstract interfaces in an IDL file.
+
+. Added check to the generation of _setup_collocation()
+  method for abstract interfaces, to make it more robust.
+
+. Added a version of the realpath() system function that
+  can be used with LynxOS, which does not have a native
+  version.
+
+. Fixed code generation for bounded strings and wstrings
+  when they appear anonymously (without a typedef) as operation
+  parameters. 
+
+. Fixed code generation of flat names for AMI-related types.
+
+. Fixed errors in code generation of sequences of components
+  and eventtypes.
+
+. Fixed code generation of CDR operators for aggregate types
+  that contain one or more abstract interfaces.
+
+. Fixed bogus errors produced when there are repeated forward
+  declarations of an interface.
+
+. Fixed errors in some use cases of the propagation of a #pragma
+  prefix directive to nested scopes in generated repository ids.
+
+. Fixed errors in code generation for attributes in Asynchronous
+  Method Handler (AMH) classes.
+
+. Fixed a bug that caused the IDL compiler to crash when it sees
+  certain kinds of illegal IDL.
+
+. Fixed problems in the interaction of checks for local interface
+  and for null object reference when marshaling an interface
+  member of an aggregate type.
+
+. Fixed generation of operations inherited by a local interface
+  from a non-local one - these operations must be regenerated
+  as pure virtual.
+
+. Added a space between some generated template parameter
+  opening brackets and a leading double colon of a fully
+  scoped name, since some compilers would read "<:" as
+  the digraph character for ']'.
+
+. Fixed bug in code generation for an array of typedef of
+  string and wstring.
+
+. Fixed a bug in the generation of respository ids for
+  explicit, implicit and equivalent interfaces for component
+  homes.
+
+. Fixed bugs in the generation of marshaling and demarshaling
+  code for aggragate types with component or eventtype members.
+
+ORB SERVICES:
+-------------
+
+IFR:
+---
+
+. Fixed bug in creating entries for attributes, which in CORBA 3.x may
+  have separate get- and set- exceptions lists.
+
+. Added some method overrides to disambiguate multiple inheritance
+  problems some compilers would have in classes added to support CORBA
+  3.0 extensions. 
+
+. Fixed bugs in entering attributes of abstract and local interfaces,
+  and in querying for attributes of components. 
+
+. Added a "-m" option to IFR_Service to enable multicast discovery of
+  the service.
+
+LOAD BALANCING
+--------------
+
+. Added two new strategies, namely LoadAverage and LoadMinimum.
+
+NOTIFICATION SERVICE:
+---------------------
+. Corrected the implementation to add the caller's <subscribed_types>
+  to the Admin Object's types. This solves the problem that if a
+  proxy's connect_structured_push_consumer() is called *AFTER* the
+  proxy's subscription_change(), then the subscriptions do not work. 
+
+. Added the -NoUpdates option to the Notification svc.conf
+  options. If this option is specified, the
+  subscription_change/offer_change messages are NOT sent to proxy 
+  objects.  This option is useful to turn off entire updates for
+  applications that do not reply on subscription_change/offer_change
+  messages.
