+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.
