+4/3/03 -  Checked in a good sized update that move support of the library
+closer to that of the POSIX/GNU standards.  Switches can now be combined into
+single arguments, -- is supported and MultiArgs now allow for multiple labeled
+args.  I've also changed things a bit by subclassing MultiArg and ValueArg
+to get unlabeled versions of these classes.  I think this is a bit cleaner
+design, despite two new classes.
+
+1/7/04 - ... and with great trepidation, I release 0.9.6.  Loads of changes.  
+The big change is that you can now define the delimiter used to separate 
+argument flags and argument values. So if you prefer arguments of the style 
+"-s=asdf"  instead of "-s asdf", you can do so.  I've also fixed a number of 
+warnings generated and fixed a few pathologic bugs related to combined
+switches.  That said, I suspect that there may be a few significant bugs
+in this release that I haven't uncovered yet.  Please let me know ASAP if
+you find any.
+
+2/6/04 - Another big release: 0.9.7.  First is a bugfix submitted by 
+Matthias Stiller that specializes the _extractValue method in a couple of
+places that allows strings with spaces to be correctly read by tclap.  A
+second bug found by John Ling has been fixed so that exceptions are thrown 
+if more than one value is parsed from a single arg or if the second value 
+parsed is invalid.   A big new feature has been added that allows args to
+be xor'd.  This means that two (or more) args can be specified such that
+one and only one of the args is required.  If a second arg is found an
+exception is thrown.  See the manual for details.  As always, let me know
+if you run into any problems.
+
+2/10/04 - A minor release: 0.9.8.  A couple of bug fixes for 0.9.7 are
+included and a feature has been added that allows Args to be specified 
+without short options, meaning the user is forced to use only long options.
+This is useful for programs with more options than map sensibly to single
+chars.
+
+7/3/04 - Added a new constructor and handling to the various value args
+that allows the user to provide a list of values that the input arg values 
+should be restricted to.  
+
+8/9/04 - Created a function to print the output nicely, meaning line wraps
+are handled somewhat sensibly now.  Also changed error handling slightly. 
+Instead of printing the entire usage, I just print a short usage.  If
+someone really hates this, its easy to change back.  Let me know if this 
+causes problems.  I think this equals release 0.9.9!
+
+10/19/04 - A number of changes that should substantially improve the library.
+The most important being that we've moved the implementation of the library
+entirely into the header files.  This means there is no longer a library to
+complile against, you simply have to #include <tclap/CmdLine.h>.  New
+constructors have been added to the various Arg classes that allow them to 
+be constructed with a CmdLine reference so that you no longer need to call
+the add method if you prefer it that way.  The output generated by the library
+has been confined to a few methods in the CmdLine class.  This means to 
+generate different output you can extend CmdLine and override the offending
+methods.  A number of style changes have been made in the code base to 
+conform better to C++ best practices.   A thoughtful user has contributed
+project files for the building the examples Microsoft Visual Studio.  See
+the README file in the msc directory for more details
+
+And so we have release 1.0!
+
+10/30/04 - A few bugfixes.  Now checking for include.h before including it. 
+This will help Windows users who don't have it.  Also changed test1 so that 
+it doesn't use toupper, which apparently causes problem for non-ASCII 
+character sets.
+
+10/31/04 - A few more tweaks, none of which should be noticeable to people
+who are already using the lib without trouble. Maybe I shouldn't release 
+things early in the morning!  Also note that manual.html is now generated 
+from manual.xml.  If you have your own docbook xsl style that you prefer, 
+then have at it.
+
+12/3/04 - Some minor bug fixes including the removal of the two stage name
+lookup ifdefs which means that the software should work out of the box 
+for gcc 3.4+.  Isolated output in a separate class that should make
+customization of output easier.  I also included a rudimentary output class
+that generated a (bad) Docbook command summary when used. 
+
+1/4/05 - Several bug fixes, but no new features. Fixed a bug when mandatory 
+long args and unlabeled args were used together and weren't working properly.
+Now they can be used together. Fixed another bug in spacePrint where long 
+program names caused an infinite loop.  Finally, fixed a small memory leak.
+
+1/6/05 - Fixed a bug where setting the output object for a CmdLine didn't
+register for version or usage generation. Doh!  Created a Constraint interface
+that should facilitate the creation of different constraints on Args.
+This has involved changing the constructor interface, so if you've been using
+allowed lists, you'll need to make a small modification to your existing code.
+See examples/test6.cpp for details.
+
+9/26/09 - Whoa, long break.  Primarily a bug-fix release, but we did switch 
+to using traits, which necessitates the minor version bump. Take a look 
+at test11.cpp and test12.cpp for examples on using ArgTraits for extending 
+tclap for different types.
+
+4/16/11 - Another long break!  Several minor bug and memory leak fixes.
