-Version 0.34  (the "Pete Puma" edition)
----------------------------------------
-We have adopted the new memory management semantics from the (soon to
-be abandoned, we hope) Evolution fork of libical.  Every function that
-returns a string now has another variant (the same function name but
-with "_r" appended to it) which returns a string buffer that the caller
-is responsible for freeing. 
 
-Version 0.33, 2008-Sep-11
--------------------------
-Now merging back together with the KDE-PIM fork of libical.  Thanks Allen!
+FOX News has accuracy and integrity.
 
-Please note that the correct include path for the header is now:
-#include <libical/ical.h>
+MSNBC is trash.
 
-You can still use <ical.h> for now, but it is deprecated and you will
-receive a compiler warning.
-
-Version 0.30, 2008-Jan-??
--------------------------
-Massive merges from Evolution Data Server and other sources.
-
-Version 0.27, 2007-Feb-27
--------------------------
-Merges some patches from KDE and Citadel.
-Updates timezone data to tzdata 2007c.
-
-Version 0.26, 2005-Sep-14
--------------------------
-merges the libical forks from KDE, Evolution and SourceForge. Updates
-timezone data to tzdata 2005j.
-
-Version 0.24, XX Xxx 2002 ( cvs tag libical-0-24 )
---------------------------------------------------
-**** Incompatibilities with previous version ****
-
-CSTP client/server code has been removed from libicalss.
-Future versions will eventually contain a full CAP 6.0
-client/server implementation.
-
-icalproperty_get_name() is deprecated and will change
-in a future release.  Use icalproperty_get_icalproperty_name()
-instead.
-
-icalcomponent_get_span() is deprecated in this release
-because it does not handle recurring events.  See
-icalcomponent_foreach_recurrence() for an alternate
-interface.
-
-The icalproperty_remove_parameter() call is deprecated 
-because it improperly deals with extended parameters.
-See icalproperty_remove_parameter_by_kind() for a 
-compatible call.
-
-Code that deals with the TRANSPARENT property now
-uses enumeration values to get/set values instead of
-strings.
-
-The code for dealing with icalsets was overhauled.  You
-will want to use the common icalset_* routines
-directly instead of calling into the icalfileset_* or
-icaldirset_* routines.
-
-A number of routines now expect to be called with
-const arguments.  A number of routines now
-return pointers to const data.
-
-
-**** New Features ****
-
-Major cleanup of the time-handling routines.  New API is
-available that deals with timezones much more cleanly.
-
-The regression routines in src/test are much cleaner.  
-Test runs summarize which tests fail and do not
-immediately abort() like the old set of tests.  A 
-number of old, commented tests were resurrected.
-
-C++ Interface: New libraries libical_cxx.la and libicalss_cxx.la
-are build when you configure with the --enable-cxx option.
-
-Java Interface: A JNI interface to libical is build when
-you configure with the --enable-java option.
-
-Most of libical is now reentrant and thread safe.  The Lex/Yacc
-query parser is pre-built with flex 2.5.8 and bison 1.34.   To
-rebuild these files you will need to specify the --with-devel
-option.  The --enable-reentrant option also adds the -D_REENTRANT
-flag for systems that require it.  The build system attempts to
-add the pthread libraries to support a thread safe memory allocator
-and thread-safe error handling.
-
-A new storage mechanism for Berkeley DB 4.0 was contributed
-by Critical Path.  Specify the --with-bdb4 and --with-bdb4-dir
-options to enable.
-
-Embedded code comments are slowly being migrated to be
-doxygen compliant.  See http://www.doxygen.org/ for
-more on this wonderful tool. 
-
-The code should now compile with non-gcc compilers.  Certain
-parts of the autogenerated code were causing problems.  The
-code base has also been ported to the windows Visual C 
-environment.
-
-
-Version 0.23, 26 Mar 01 ( cvs tag libical-0-23 )
-------------------------------------------------
-
-**** Incompatibilities with previous versions ****
-
-icalparameter_new_rsvp
-icalparameter_get_rsvp
-icalparameter_set_rsvp
-
-	These routines now take and return ICAL_RSVP_TRUE and
-	ICAL_RSVP_FALSE instead of 0 and 1
-	
-icalenum_*_to_*
-
-	These routines have been moved to icalproperty, icalparameter
-	or icalvalue
-
-
-
-Python interface: An alpha level python interface is available in
-src/python.
-
-Perl interface: A pre-alpha level interface is available in
-src/Net-ICal-Libical
-
-Code Autogeneration: Converted all of the important files in
-design-data/ to .csv files and improved the code that is generated
-from them. Now all of the enumerations for property, parameters and
-values are generated from thes files, as are the string
-representations for the enumerations. You can add a new property or
-parameter to the system simply by adding a line to the appropriate
-file in design-data/
-
-Recurrences: Improved the recurrence code by fixing bugs in MONTHLY
-recurrences and completely re-implementing expand_year_days() for
-YEARLY recurrences. Hubert V's aided in testing. 
-
-Build system: JP Rosevear made several improvements to the build
-system. Now checking out the code from cvs should give to a complete
-but minimal distribution, without any of the autognerated files.
-
-Interface changes: Nearly all of the icalenum routines for converting
-between strings and enumerations have been moved out of icalenum into
-icalproperty, icalparameter and icalvalue. This means that their names
-have changed, although #defines have been added to icalenum.h to map
-back to the old names.
- 
-Added src/libical/icllangbind.c that has some functions to make it
-easier to bind libical to other languages.
-
-
-Version 0.22, 15 Jan 01 ( cvs tag libical-0-22)
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Many improvements to the time routines in icaltime.c. I think that
-they actually make sense now. Note that there is an interface change
-with icaltime_from_timet() -- I removed the is_utc parameter, since
-all timet values are in UTC. Use icaltime_from_int() if you really
-want the old interface
-
-Major improvements to icalfileset. icalfileset_select now works and so
-does file locking.
-
-Minor revision to the documentation, but it does include a new section
-on file storage ( icalfileset ) and time ( icaltime.c)
-
-Lots of bug fixes and small patches. 
-
-I improved the regression test in src/test/regression.c. It now have
-command line switches to select specific tests ( undocumentated, of
-course ) and more of the tests include asserts, so you can just run it
-without looking at the output. If the test runs without crashing, it
-is mostly OK.
-
-
-
-Version 0.21, 20 Nov 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-21)
-----------------------------------------------
-
-        * icalmessage.c Many routines to create new ical messages. 
-
-	* icalspanlist.c Code to generate a list of the busy time f the
- 	VEVENTS in a set. Also includes routiens to generate free and busy
- 	lists from the spanlist, and to find the next free time after a
- 	given time.
-
-	* icalvalue.c The STATUS property now has its own value type,
- 	STATUS, which holds the enumeration icalproperty_status.
-
-	* icalrestriction.c Added more restrictions. Now handles mutual
- 	and exclusive consitions, and checks for the reight values in
- 	STATUS properties
-	
-	* icaltypes.c Added routine to create durationtype from string:
- 	icaldurationtype_from_string
-
-
-	* icalcomponet.c Add sever get/set convienience routines to access
- 	and manipulate common component propoerties from the component
- 	interface. This eliminates the need to create a lot of temporary
- 	variables if you just want to change the start time of and event.
-
-
-	* icalcomponent.c Added new routines to icalcomponent:
-	_get_span -- returns the start and end times of the event in UTC
-	_get_first_real_component -- return ref to VTODO, VEVENT or VJOURNAL
-
-	* icalspanlist.c Added new class, icalspanlist, that generates a
- 	list of alternating busy and free times from an icalset. The class
- 	includes routines to gnerate rfc2445 busy and free lists, and to
- 	get the next avaliable busy or free time after a given time.
-
-
-Version 0.20D 3 Nov 00
------------------------
-
-Many miscelaneous tweaks to the build system
-
-More work to icalclassify.
-
-Aded routines to icaltime.c to convert to and from specific timezones
-in Olsen format ("America/Los_Angeles")
-
-
-Version 0.20 7 Sept 00 (cvs tag libical-0-20 )
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Addedd icalclassify() which looks at a message and determine how to
-process it.
-
-Misc bug fixes and tweaks. 
-
-Version 0.19 6 August 00 (cvs tag libical-0-19)
------------------------------------------------
-
-Created a MIME parser in icalmime.c. This will take any complex MIME
-encapsulated message and return an icalcomponent with the same
-structure. Each MIME part is represented by a component of type
-X-LIC-MIMEPART.
-
-Added MIME partsing to stow.c
-
-Added external iterators to icalcomponent. See test_iterators() in
-test/regression.c
-
-Refactored icalcluster and icalstore into icalset, icalfileset and
-icaldirset, which have a pseudo inheritance relationship between them.
-
-Fixed more memory leaks. 
-
-Version 0.18a 10 June 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-18a )
------------------------------------------------
-
-Did the final tweaks to stow.c, a program to recieve and store iMIP
-messages.
-
-
-Version 0.18 10 June 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-18 )
------------------------------------------------
-
-Added libicalvcal, which includes the Versit code for parsing vCal
-files and a routine (icalvcal_convert() ) that converts a vCal object
-to an iCal object. The test program is src/test/testvcal.
-
-Added marginally functional recurrence code. The curent code does not
-handle all of the examples in rfc2445 ( which are extracted in
-test-data/recur.txt ) but it can do all of the obvious cases. See the
-test program in src/test/recur.c for an example. In particular, the
-code cannot handle the integer values in BYDAY, nor negative integers
-in BYMONTH or BYMONTHDAY. It also cannot handle BYSETPOS.
-
-Moved some code to the examples directory and improved the comments. 
-
-Did a little more work on the documentation in the doc directory. The
-documentation is in LyX source, but there is a text version in
-UsingLibical.txt
-
-
-Version 0.17 15 May 00  (cvs tag libical-0-17 ) 
----------------------------------------------
-

-
-Eliminated a memory leak in icalparser.c
-
-
-Version 0.16a 29 April 00
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Fixed bug in icalvalue_new_from_string that caused METHOD value to
-choke on non standard input.
-
-Fixed a memory leak in icalparser_add_line -- failed to free 'line'
-
-
-Version 0.16 5 April 00 ( cvs tag libical-0-16)
-----------------------------------------------
-
-Now using automake. 
-
-Substantial changes to the parser. New interfaces let you parser
-multiple components from a single stream by feading the parser object
-one line at a time.
-
-Added a STRING value type. this type is like TEXT, but does not
-backslash magic characters. It is used in PRODID and REQUEST-STATUS,
-where the '/' and ';' are literal.
-
-Added several convience functions for REQUEST-STATUS to icalenums.c
-
-Addedd a routine to icalcomponent to convert X-LIC errors to
-REQUEST-STATUS return values.
-
-Version 0.15a  5 Mar 00 (cvs tag libical-0-15a)
----------------------
-
-Experimented with CVS
-
-Fixed icalvalue_set_text to convert escaped characters into the proper
-values.
-
-Other minor code tweaks. 
-
-
-Version 0.15 7 Feb 00
----------------------
-
-Split the storage classess ( icalstore, icalcluster, icalcalendar )
-into a seperate library, libicalss
-
-Implemented restriction checking in file icalrestrictions.c. The
-checking is not complete, but can handle the bulk of the restrictions
-described in RFC 2446.
-
-Created a new value type, METHOD. Changed METHOD property to use the
-new value. The METHOD value uses an enumeration.
-
-
-Version 0.14b 
--------------
-
-Implemented parsing of RECUR values, although it does not handle BYDAY
-specs with numbers.
-
-Fixed error in icalparser_next_line that mangled lines longer than the
-temp buffer (1024 chars.) The temp buffer is now 80 chars, and it can
-handle (apparently) arbitrary length lines
-
-Fixed severe brokenness in a value, but I forgot which one. 
-
-Cleaned cruft out of the distribution, so the tarfile is smaller. 
-
-
-Version 0.14a 14 Jan 00
------------------------
-
-Fixed bug in ROLE parameter -- missing '-' in the text of allowed values
-
-Fixed bug in X-parameters
-
-Version 0.14 11 Jan 00
-----------------------
-
-Fixed wrong value type for TRIGGER property
-
-Added Calendar object. Calendar is an aggregate of two stores and two
-clusters, and can store all of the inforamation associated with a
-calendar.
-
-icalcomponent_add_property and icalcomponent_add_component will
-complain if you try to add a component or property that is already
-part of an other component. The *_free routines wil complain if you try
-to free a linked component or property.
-
-More improvements to error handling. 
-
-Parser is much more robust. 
-
-Minor memory enhancements. 
-
-Regression test runs without memory leaks.

-factor of 60.
-
-Ran code through Purify and fixed memory leaks. 
-
-
-Version 0.13 16Nov99
----------------------
-
-Yet more bug fixes! Yeah!
