+. Added 'q' as usable specifier for ACE_Log_Msg to print out int64 bit number.
 
 . Added better support for Intel C++ compilers.
 
 . Improved HPUX support.
 
-. Improved support for cross compilation in general.

-. Defined a new protocol, HTBP (Hypertext Tunneling, Bidirectional
+. Added a new directory ("ACE_wrappers/protocols/ace") for new protocols

+  MSVC++ 6.  We plan to deprecate MSVC++ 6 support sometime after the

 . A number of Windows CE problems have been fixed.
 
 . ACE's loading of DLLs (for example, as a result of loading synamic
   services) has been changed to use the native OS's facilities for
   locating the DLL instead of searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or its
-  equivalent) then loading the DLL using a full pathname. This

 . A number of errors in the APG example programs have been corrected.
 
-. Autoconfigure using all MPC-generated files.
-  Gave up on autogenerating automake files using MPC. The automake
-  language is richer than that of MPC, so not everything we need can be
-  done without large extensions to MPC. So we generated the files using

-  support should now work on most platforms, though some glitches still
-  exist that should be addressed before ACE 5.5.
