+<li>Some documentation changes</li>

+<dt>1.0.4-1, 2013 March 8</dt>
+<dd>This is a bugfix release: it's a re-release of now-deprecated
+1.0.5 minus a breaking change.<ul>
+<li>Add <code>{table}</code> support, paralleling existing
+<code>{figure}</code> support (ie tables don't float, but captions
+work as expected).</li>
+<li>Blank lines after a <code>\begin{question}</code> no longer
+result in extra space.</li>
+<li>Adjust spacing and layout of front page (again); various other
+cosmetic changes.</li>
+<li>A document identifier appears at the bottom of each page,
+corroborating the exam the page is for (to avoid photocopier collation
+accidents), and giving a numeric identifier which increases with time
+(allowing you to identify which of two printouts is later).</li>
+</ul></dd>
+
+<dt>1.0.4, 2013 March 6</dt>

+option was present. Fixed, by special-casing, specifically disabling the
+<code>\includepdf</code> command in this case.</li>

+space, since <code>\partmarks</code> is now fully in the margin).</li>
+<li>Adjusting the front-page layout. Again.</li>
+</ul></dd>
+
+<dt>1.0.1, 2013 January 18</dt>
+<dd><ul>
+<li><code>{figure}</code> now works, because it's explicitly
+supported (<code>{figure}</code> inside solutions could cause problems
+before). The contents don't float.</li>
+<li>Layout adjustments.</li>
+<li>Graphics now appear in draft mode.</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+
+<dt>1.0, 2012 December 11</dt>
+<dd>This is the nominal version 1.0 release, and will be used for the
+2012-13 Honours Astronomy exams (it might get further tweaks along the
+way, but we believe this is a complete distribution set).<ul>
+<li>More adjustments to notes-for-authors, now showing example LaTeX results.</li>
+<li>Addition of template-question.tex</li>
+<li>Adjustments to base rubric.</li>
+</ul></dd>
+
+<dt>1.0b5, 2012 December 3</dt>
+<dd><ul>

+rationalisation of <code>\maketitle</code>.</li>

+<li>Add macro <code>\shout</code>, for highlighted `FIXME' comments.</li>
+<li>Add showmarktotals option.</li>
+<li>Permit <code>\partmarks</code> in solutions, without it adding to
+the marks added up for the question (at the same time, forbid having a
+solution within a solution).</li>
+<li>Various formatting adjustments.</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+
+<dt>1.0b3, 2012 November 8</dt>
+<dd><ul>
+<li>Add [A345] option.</li>

+<dt>1.0b2, 2012 November 6</dt>
+<dd>Mild formatting adjustments.</dd>
+
+<dt>1.0rc1, 2012 November 2</dt>
+<dd><ul>
+<li>Significant rewrite of formatting, producing a consensus
+AandA/PhysHons style, and renaming some confusingly named
+commands.</li>
+<li>Consequently, the AandA.clo and PhysHons.clo options have
+disappeared.</li>
+<li>The <code>\constantssheet</code> macro has appeared, and setting
+this is now the principal function of per-class <code>.clo</code>
+files.
+See the new <code>A1.clo</code> and modified <code>P2.clo</code> option files.</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+
+<dt>0.17.1, 2012 September 21</dt>
+<dd>Fix packaging infelicity</dd>
+
+<dt>0.17, 2012 September 21</dt>
+<dd><ul>
+<li>Rework <code>solutions</code> environment to make it a little more robust.</li>
+<li>Add <code>\MSc</code> degree shorthand.</li>
+<li>Bugfix: continuation headers now appear if a question starts on page 1.</li>
+<li>Bugfix: fix wrong syntax in draft+showsolutions mode -- now works again</li>
+</ul>
+</dd>
+
+<dt>0.16, 2012 July 26</dt>
+<dd><ul>
+<li>Renamed the [showmarks] option to more rational [perquestionmarks]
+(because the option doesn't control whether per-question marks are
+<em>displayed</em>, but whether they're tracked at all). Slightly
+improved the documentation of this at the same time.</li>
+<li>Added <code>\lambdabar</code> macro</li>
+<li>Fix long-standing problem with continuation lines -- these should now be robust.</li>
+</ul></dd>
+<dt>0.15, 2011 November 23</dt>
+<dd>Avoid conflict with <code>ifpdf</code> package.
+Now <em>depends</em> on <code>ifpdf</code>.</dd>
+<dt>0.14, 2010 August 6</dt>
+<dd><ul>
+<li>Fixed the problem where the question-continuation marks would be
+messed up by the presence of floats.</li>
+<li>Added P2.clo; adjust 'showing solutions' banner
+to avoid collision with other headers (thanks to Morag Casey for the .clo
+file and the report).</li>
+<li>Changed the name of the class to 'guexam', from potentially confusing 'exam'.
+Support guexam.config for forcing options (for example).</li>
+</ul></dd>
+
+<dt>0.13-1, 2008 November 21</dt>
+<dd>Make the gulogo style optional, so that question authors don't
+have to download and install that before they can draft a question.
+Also adjust the logo size.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.13, 2008 November 11</dt>
+<dd>Add university logo, and slightly rearrange the header.
+Add <code>{questiondata}</code> environment.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.12-2, 2008 April 14</dt>
+<dd>...keep on truckin'. Further changes to the
+<code>\partmarks*</code> spacing code, still largely unprincipled, but
+looking closer to what's required.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.12-1, 2008 April 3</dt>
+<dd>...and again. This time, I think I actually see what the problem
+was. Macro <code>\partmarks</code> now forces a new paragraph (it was
+documented to be usable at the end of a paragraph, so this is again
+forced, and the documentation made more explicit), this makes what I
+thought was the solution actually work. Which is nice. Redefined
+<code>enumerate</code> and <code>itemize</code> environments, to
+improve spacing somewhat.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.12, 2008 April 3</dt>
+<dd>Further adjustments to <code>\partmarks</code>: again, it should
+be more consistent without necessarily being more principled, alas.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.11, 2008 March 30</dt>
+<dd>Minor fixes: Adjust display of partmarks -- should now be more
+consistent; option [showsolutions] no longer defaults
+[{no,}pageperquestion]; add macro <code>\e</code> to format roman
+exponential.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.10, 2008 January 17</dt>
+<dd>Fix <code>\vec</code> when it appears in sub- or superscript
+position. Add <code>\paperident</code> command.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.9, 2007 December 10</dt>
+<dd>Various formatting changes. Added optional argument to
+<code>\includequestion</code> overriding question number.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.8, 2007 November 25</dt>
+<dd>You can now use <code>\usepackage</code> within
+<code>[compose]</code> mode.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.7, 2007 November 20</dt>
+<dd>Make changes to the display of the 'University of Glasgow' banner
+at the top: resolves some font problems. Other minor layout tweaks.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.6, 2007 November 18</dt>
+<dd>Fixed bold maths problems: <code>\vec</code> now works with greek
+letters, too. Support MTpro2 (mathtime maths fonts) with the new
+<code>[mtpro2]</code> class option. The <code>{solution}</code>
+environment can appear multiple times within a question. Question
+numbers now appear correctly in 'final' mode.</dd>
+
+<dt>0.5, 2007 October 30</dt>
+<dd>Fix collision with LaTeX internal: a <code>\comment</code> at the
+start of a <code>{question}</code> now works.</dd>
