+       * refactored explicit "and others" in bibtex data sources
+       * Fixed issue with sorting=none and \nocite{*}

+       * Added support for "SORTSHORTHAND" field
+       * New "map" option to allow user field/entry type mapping (aliasing) in
+         addition to .dcf settings
+       * Made the relevant places depend on max/min{alpha,bib}names instead of
+         just max/minnames
+       * Bug fixes to bblsafechars
+       * Implemented user-customisable labelalpha (not yet in biblatex)
+       * Implemented per-name hashes
+0.9.3  05-06-2011
+       * New mininit and minfull uniquename options
+       * New minyear uniquelist option
+       * Major revamp of uniqueness code
+       * Moved to new external process calling module because IPC::Run
+         doesn't work on Windows in packed binaries (kpsewhich was
+         returning nothing).
+0.9.2  09-05-2011
+       * Some internal changes for perl 5.14
+       * Bug fixes for uniquelist processing
+0.9.1  29-04-2011
+       * Made temp files all use a global temp dir.
+       * Moved temp .utf8 conversions to temp dir so biber works using
+         .bib files which are in non-writable locations.
+       * Added back an info log message about finding data sources (Lyx compat)
+0.9    29-03-2011
+       * No longer auto-escapes any TeX markup in bibtex data sources. This
+         is fraught with danger and is a mess. Best not to do it at all.
+       * Supports biblatex \bibnamedelimi macro
+       * Implementation of uniquename and uniquelist options for biblatex 1.4+
+0.8.4  19-03-2011
+       * Bug fixes (wrong escaping of "[", "_" and "]" in .bbl)
+0.8.3  14-03-2011
+       * Biber now in TexLive
+       * Added several new binary builds
+       * All name part and element formatting is now abstracted into macros
+         so that it can be controlled via biblatex.
+       * Much more documentation on binary builds for packagers
+       * Bug fixes
+0.8.2  14-02-2011
+       * Bug fixes
+0.8.1  12-02-2011
+       * Small bug with default bibtex month macro support
+       * Made remote file support a little more robust (URI return codes)
+0.8    11-02-2011
+       * Forces biblatex format for month field
+       * Added support for remote data sources
+       * Added experimental support for RIS data sources
+       * Took out -a and -d flags. These are no longer very useful as the increasingly
+         sophisticated biblatex options cannot be set on the command line
+         anyway and so these flags are less and less relevant
+       * New inheritance model in sync with biblatex defaults
+       * Bug fixes
+0.7.4  05-02-2011
+       * Fix for mincrossrefs leaking across sections (biblatex SF bug #3173032)
+0.7.3  03-02-2011
+       * Performance tuning for sorting
+       * Text::BibTeX 0.51 for increased macro stack space
+       * Support for old BibTeX month macros by default
+       * Re-write of datasource processing to allow for modular plugins
+       * Generalised nosort option.
+       * Merged LaTeX::Decode into Biber::LaTeX::Recode and added encoding
+         to deal with inputenc's limitations for PDFLaTeX users
+       * new options for forcing/tuning UTF-8 -> LaTeX macro conversion
+       * Bug fixes
+0.7.2  08-01-2011
+       * Improved latexmk compatibility more
+0.7.1  07-01-2011
+       * Improved latexmk compatibility
+       * Added "x-ascii" encoding alias for "ascii" to deal with inputenx ascii.
+       * Bug fixes
+0.7    05-01-2011
+       * Completely re-written sorting routine using Schwartzian transform
+         for real multi-field support and per-field sorting settings.
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.9  (dev beta)
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.8  (dev beta)
+       * Generalised sorting behaviour in several respects
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.7  (dev beta)
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.6  (dev beta)
+       * More generalised sorting options
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.5  (dev beta)
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.4  (dev beta)
+       * Bug fixes
+0.6.3  (dev beta)
+       * Outputs labelname name list to the .bbl
+       * Support for dynamic sets and simpler static set interface
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.6.2  (dev beta)
+       * Internal cleanup of structure code
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.6.1  (dev beta)
+       * More comprehensive structural checks on allowed entrytypes/fields
+         and field combinations/formats
+       * Added option validate_structure to turn on structural checks
+       * Renamed option validate -> validate_control
+       * Renamed option output-directory -> output_directory
+       * Added labelname and labelyear as possible sort specifications
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.6    20-11-2010
+       * First non-beta release
+       * More abstracted and extensible crossref inheritance model
+       * U::C dependency to 0.67
+       * sortcase and sortupper options now take same argument forms as in biblatex
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.5.7  09-10-2010
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.5.6  04-10-2010
+       * Latex character macro decoding is now better defined in the whole
+         (re)encoding workflow.
+       * "inputenc" option is now "bblencoding"
+       * "locale" option is now "sortlocale"
+       * New option "sortupper"
+       * Unicode::Collate sorting is now default as version 0.61 of this
+         has XS module and CLDR tailoring.
+       * Added binary dist build scripts
+       * Removed bundled Module::Build as there are some conflicts with
+         later versions. This is less of a problem anyway because the
+         binary build makes it less necessary to make builds easy on perl<5.10
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.5.5   29-08-2010
+       * Biber::BibTeX moved to Biber::Input::BibTeX. If upgrading, please remove
+         your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX.pm, just to be tidy
+       * New aliases for EPRINT classes and types implemented (see BibLaTeX docs).
+       * Biber now resolves XREFs as well as CROSSREFs so one less LaTeX pass is needed
+       * Allows UTF-8 citekeys. Requires Text::BibTeX >= 0.46 and a fully UTF-8
+         aware TeX macro package (e.g. XeTeX or LuaLaTeX). Normal LaTeX with \inputenc
+         will not work because the UTF-8 it uses is incomplete, macro based and not native.
+       * RecDescent parser is no longer supported or included. If upgrading, please remove
+         your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX directory, just to be tidy
+       * Now requires LaTeX::Decode >= 0.03
+       * Stricter version dependency for Text::BibTeX. Older than 0.42 is
+         rather useless for complex names.
+       * Re-factored and enhanced auto-re-encoding of .bib/.bbl. With biblatex
+         0.9c, Biber handles all reencoding.
+       * Misc bug fixes
+0.5.4   04-08-2010
+       * Case-sensitive sorting option
+       * Multi-section support. Only one biber pass needed to process all
+         bib sections using extended biblatex 0.9b .bbl format.
+       * .aux file is no longer used by biber - all information is passed
+         in .bcf file.
+       * Misc bug fixes
+       * LaTeX::Decode is now a separate CPAN module and is no longer included
+0.5.3  19-03-2010
+       * Changed semantics of --outfile and --output-directory. --outfile
+         is now relative to --output-directory. If --outfile is absolute, it
+         is stripped to the filename and the path discarded. Absolute .aux
+         paths are stripped to filename for appending to --output-directory.
+       * Updated PRD to use new encoding option names. Now works with -e.
+       * sortlos was not settable to use bib sort order
+       * With Text::BibTeX >= 0.42, will do all name/initials generation with btparse
+         library.
+       * Abstracted BBL output into Biber::Output class for better re-use and potential
+         for output formats other than .bbl.
+       * Synced uniquename .bcf values with change in biblatex 0.9a
+0.5.2   04-03-2010
+       * Locale fixes
+       * Uniquename fixed to match BibLaTeX option values
+       * Improved error message for malformed names
+       * Fixed config file problems under windows and also added option to ignore config file
+       * Bug with conflicting case between citations and bib entries
+       * Moved pure perl parsename to PRD.pm
+       * Re-write of name parsing to use Text::BibTeX::Name by default
+       * Fields which can be null are explicitly flagged
+       * Add THANKS file
+       * Die early when biber is called without argument
+       * Fixed Mac config path error
+       * .bib parse continues after certain errors
+       * regularised collate options processing
+       * field nameaddon was missing from Biber::Constants
+       * Improved warning message for missing backend=biber
+       * SF bug 2952347 fix (empty date range end)
+       * uniquename counter was being provided incorrectly
+0.5.1   15.02.2010
+        * Remove support for legacy control files (\jobname-blx.bib):
+          Biber now only reads .bcf files written by biblatex with the 
+          option "backend=biber".
+        * Improved handling of "uniquename" and "namehash".
+        * Don't apply latexescape in bbl output, as it breaks math formatting.
+
+0.5     13.02.2010
+        * Supports all changes introduced by biblatex 0.9
+        * Moved all parts relating to the experimental BibLaTeXML format to the
+          "biblatexml" branch on the git repo
+        * Communication between biblatex and Biber can be done through a
+          XML-based config file (extension .bcf): this is enabled with the
+          experimental biblatex option "backend=biber"
+        * Biber can now be customized with a configuration file
+        * Considerable refactoring and cleanup of the code
+        * Further enhancements to the test suite
+        * Improved logging mechanism
+        * More robust parsing of personal names
+        * Ignore certain prefixes and diacritics in sort strings, for
+          instance ʿAlī is sorted under A, and al-Hasan under H. This can
+          be customized in the configuration file (biber.conf).
+        * New command-line option --output-directory (like TeX)
+        * Many, many bugfixes :)
+        (See the output of "git log" for all details...)
+
+0.4.3   23.07.2009
+        * With biblatex option "backend=biber" and biber option --v2
+          the new experimental control file \jobname.bcf is used,
+          which brings in many new features, such as per-entrytype
+          settings.
+        * More sophisticated/customizable sorting mechanism
+        * More extensive test suite
+        * Improved BibLaTeXML schema
+        * improved handling of BibLaTeXML (enable nested children,
+          formatting elements, nosort elements)
+        * Do not apply latexescape() by default on xml strings
+        * Skip title handling in BibLaTeXML when not existing
+        * Ignore maxline, add option wraplines
+        * Built-in sort is now default (option --fastsort)
+        * Sorting with Unicode::Collate is possible with option --collate
+        * Make tests succeed w/o Parse::RD and Regexp::Common
+        * Don't output date and urldate in the bbl
+        * Add missing fields "date" "urldate" "organization" "annotator"
+          "foreword" and "eventtitle"
+        * Use Data::Dump instead of Data::Dumper for debugging
+        * Fields "library" and "remarks" are now skipped
+        * Bugfix for aliases (e.g. address, school)
+        * Bugfix: process urldate to get urlyear,urlmonth,urlday
+        * Remove illegal value shorttranslator from labelname option
+        * Changed biberdebug option to debug
+        * Changed option inputencoding to bibencoding
+
+0.4.2   25.04.2009
+        * New option --inputencoding to handle 8-bit encoded bib files
+        * $BIBINPUT environment is now searched
+        * Improved parsing of personal names
+        * @comments are now silently ignored
+        * Fixed handling of @preamble; multiple preambles are allowed
+        * Warnings and errors behave more like BibTeX
+        * Alias fields are automatically converted (e.g. address -> location)
+        * Take care of "phdthesis" and "mathesis" types
+        * Cite keys of bib files are now case-insensitive
+        * Default Unicode collation now uses the table "latinkeys.txt"
+          (this is much faster than "allkeys.txt" which contains rules for
+          all Unicode glyphs)
+        * Unicode::Collate parameters can be passed as a command-line option
+        * Faster sorting (with option -f) is also possible for specific
+          locales given with option --locale (this is OS-dependent however)
+        * PRD grammar is now precompiled
+        * bbl output is now wrapped acc to maxline option
+        * Empty fields are no longer printed in the bbl
+        * Sorting is much improved.
+        * Use sortstring separators 0 1 2 like biblatex.bst
+        * Handle truncation of name lists acc to minnames/maxnames
+        * bib2biblatexml has been improved
+        * Windows version of Text::BibTeX provided as ppm.
+        * Many more bugfixes!
