+New IN VERSION 0.0.8alpha2:
+   - License changed from LGPL to the so-called "MIT" license. This has
+     been planned for ages; see
+       http://archives.seul.org/mixminion/dev/May-2004/msg00000.html
+   - Numerous bugfixes:
+     - Implement DESTDIR correctly.
+     - Do not crash when run with python 2.4
+     - Bump preferred openssl version to 0.9.8a
+     - Work when umask setting is bizarre (0077, 0000, etc.)
+     - Make -P and mbox work correctly together.
+     - Catch over-long paths.
+     - Tolerate missing /dev/null
+     - Solve crash on mixminion clean-queue
+     - Do not exit on a spurious protocol string from another MMTP host.
+     - Do not use stdio to read /dev/urandom: This wastes entropy.
+     - Don't freak out when 
+   - Security improvements
+     - Regenerate SSL certificates more frequently.
+     - Servers schedule and retry delivery on a per-address basis, not a
+       per-message basis.
+   - Drop support for pre-0.0.6 servers: Servers are now located by
+     hostname.
+   - Add a "count-packets" command to tell how many packets will be needed
+     to send a message.  Some integrators need this.
+   - Add a "SendmailCommand" option for invoking an external program to send
+     email rather than simply connecting to an SMTP server.
+   - Write much of ClientAPI, so Mixminion is easier to embed -- having this
+     in a real release should make the Nymbaron team happy.
+   - Experimental pinger code, using pysqlite as a data store and
+     implementing the "Echolot" remailer reliability algorithm.
+     More work is needed.
+   - Partially implemented code for distributed coordinated voting directory
+     servers.  Client side and data formats are done; glue remains.
+     - Recommended versions are no longer hard-coded.
+     - Refactor how we learn about servers and generate paths.
+   - Split out option-parsing logic to make option lists more consistent.
+   - Suppress prompt when reading messages from non-TTY fds.
+   - Implement --status-fd option to dump info to would-be integrators.
+   - Better errors on expired certs
+
 NEW IN VERSION 0.0.7.1:
    - Install man pages in PREFIX/share/man, not PREFIX/man.
    - If the server crashed while changing a packet's metadata, it would often
