+Version 0.84 (TeX Live 2012)
+============================
+
+Fix -f output when TEXMFHOME contains a list of paths. Bug sort-of reported
+by Matthew Leingang, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42920/
+
+Version 0.83
+------------
+
+Minor adjustments in the scoring system.
+
+Version 0.82
+------------
+
+Fixes to the default viewer/destkop environment detection:
+- try gvfs-open with Gnome
+- always try xdg-open first (usually more up-to-date)
+Thanks to Axel E. Retif for informing me that newer versions of Ubuntu don't
+ship gnome-open by default any more.
+
+Version 0.81 (TeX Live 2011)
+============================
+
+Allow configuration files to be found in all TEXMF trees.
+The default one should now be installed in TEXMFDIST (in upstream TeX Live) or
+in a tree search after TEXMFLOCAL (in downstream distros).
+
+Delay default viewer detection, see:
+http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2011-May/029150.html
+
+Drop long-deprecated things:
+- --search (-> --showall), --verbosity-level and old syntax of -v
+- alias_switch, -a, -A, --alias, --noalias
+- 'regex' mode,
+
+Various internal cleanups and rearrangements.
+
+Version 0.80
+============
+
+New 'lang' configuration option (defaults on system locale): now <name>-de.pdf
+wins over <name>.pdf if German is preferred. Patch kindly provided by Philipp
+Stephani. Also works with aliases (eg koma-de = scrguide wins over koma =
+scrguien).
+
+Document the previously undocumented options from 0.72-tl2010.
+
+Accept htm as a valid extension, synonym for html. Emit less warnings about
+viewers.
+
+Version 0.72 as in TeX Live 2010
+--------------------------------
+
+New (undocumented) settings (bad)basenme_list, parallel to (bad)ext_list.
+
+New (undocumented) setting item suffix_list for known documentation suffixes,
+previously hardcoded.
+
+New (undocumented) option --just-view for use by front-end programs.
+
+Version 0.72
+------------
+
+Fix stupid bug introduced in 0.70: texdoc would crash if called without
+arguments. (Reported by Maxime Chupin.)
+
+Version 0.71
+------------
+
+Fix bug introduced in 0.70: some results were duplicated on windows. (Reported
+by Uwe Siart.)
+
+Version 0.70
+============
+
+Use information from the TeX Live package database (some of it coming from the
+CTAN catalogue) to improve search results. Display some of this information.
+
+Show the current settings in --help message.
+
+Misc. internal changes & fixes.
+
+Deprecate -a, --alias, -A, --noalias and alias_switch.
+
+Version 0.66
+------------
+
+Turn the -v=N, --verbosity=N command-line option into a pair of related options
+-v, --verbose and -q, --quiet (more standard, Karl's suggestion). Also remove
+uselessly verbose debug items so --debug is usable again.
+
+Rework help text (Karl's suggestion).
+
+Issue a warning about DISPLAY not being set on generic Unix before trying to
+start a viewer.
+
+Small internal clean-ups.
+
+Version 0.65
+------------
+
+Make it easier to change the list of configuration files used (eg for
+downstream distributions).

+------------
+
+Detect desktop environments (KDE4, KDE, GNOME, XFCE) for viewer selection.
+
+Version 0.60
+============
+
+Changed the search/alias/score logic. See section 2 of the manual for details,
+but here is a primer:
+- alias now /adds/ patterns to be search, it is no more a substitution
+- new scoring system, partially configurable, with improved heuristics
+
+The beginning of the manual has been completely rewritten.
+
+Bugs have been fixed as usual, and probably some others introduced...
+
+Version 0.50
+============
+
+- New option for machine-readable output.
+- Bugfixes (esp. for zipped file support (Unix only)).

+debugging levels.
+
+Version 0.47 (TeX Live 2009)
+----------------------------

+Adapt for man pages named *.man1.pdf instead of *.pdf.
+(Temporary hack, done better since version 0.60.)
