+This file records noteworthy changes.  This file is public domain.
+
+3.0 (20 September 2005)
+* Eplain now hosted at Sarovar: http://sarovar.org/projects/eplain/
+* Support for hyperlinks!
+* Support for (a few) LaTeX packages, notably graphicx and color.
+* Incorporated ifpdf.sty into eplain.tex [2005-08-15].
+* Many improvements of double-column macros by Stepan Kasal.
+* ConTeXt compatibility; do not wipe out toc file unnecessarily to
+  allow multiple contents. [2005-08-12].
+* Avoid pagebreak at the xref \write before a list item. [2004-07-26]
+* When under \indexproofing, allow hyphenation of indexed words and
+  avoid shift of page body. [2004-08-31]
+* New documentation for the hyperlinks and the LaTeX package support,
+  many improvements of the old docs.
+
+2.8 (2 September 2000)
+* Added a section on user-defined environments to progdef.texi and
+  fixed a few typos in documentation. Suggested by Paul Abrahams 
+  [25 April 1999] 
+* Added a fix to a buggy double-column macro that Adam Lewenberg
+  introduced when attempting to fix the balancing macros. 
+  [9 April 2000]
+
+2.7 (14 January 1998)
+* Added the control sequence \gutterbox as a hook to add arbitrary
+  vertical material between columns in multi-column mode. [5 December 1997] 
+* Removed spurious space in \verbatim macro. [26 March 1997]
+* Added some code to the multiple columns section so that when
+  switching from multi- to single-columns lines are not lost. 
+  [22 September 1996].
+* Changed \smash to \smash@@ in arrow.tex to allow arrow.tex to work with
+  amstex. [2 March 1996].
+* Changed all dimension values in margin setting macros to 'true'; redefined
+  \magnification so that this works.
+
+2.6 (2 May 1994)
+* Indexing support (in conjunction with MakeIndex).
+* Generalization of .toc files for lists of figures/tables, etc.
+* \commdiag and other arrow macros work again.
+* \eqalignno right-justifies the first column in \leftdisplays, as in
+  non-leftdisplays.
+
+2.5 (31 March 1994)
+* Do not ignore first \ref command.
+* Make \verbatim (and the || feature) work again (thanks to Dorai Sitaram).
+
+2.4 (16 March 1994)
+* \catcode of @ properly restored (reported by adam@symcom.math.uiuc.edu).
+* `| ' in \verbatim argument documented (also reported by adam).
+* | not hardwired as the \verbatim escape character (thanks to
+  dorai@cs.rice.edu).
+* Defining \noarrow before eplain.tex is read omits arrow macros
+  (suggested by Rex Shudde <0024P@NAVPGS.BITNET> and
+  murray@macadam.mpce.mq.edu.au.)
+* Double column macros revamped (thanks to guichard@fermat.whitman.edu) so
+  \singlecolumn can be invoked on the same page as \doublecolumns.
+  3- and 4-column typesetting also supported.
+  Column ejects also supported (sort of).
+* \parskip set to zero before each footnote (but not for the footnote text).
+* \ref and \cite conflicts with amstex described in manual.
+
+2.3 (1 March 1993)
+
+* New macros for arbitrary cross-references.
+* \iterate is redefined to allow \else in loops.
+* texnames.sty uses \spacefactor1000 instead of an empty hbox to handle
+  \TeX at the end of a sentence.
+* New macros for hooks and properties.
+* \centereddisplays and \leftdisplays can be repeated, and called in any
+  order.
+* New macros \csn and \ece to do common expansion things.
+
+2.2 (11 November 1992)
+* New \toks register \everylist, expanded at the start of every list.
+* \footnoterulewidth defined as 2in, not 2true in, thus allowing the use
+  of \mag after reading eplain.tex.  The `2true in' was Knuth's, but I
+  don't know why he did it.
+* \obeywhitespace works inside a \vbox.
+* \boxit is \long, and uses \ehrule and \evrule.
+* \writenumberedtocentry expands the chapter number, so `\the
+  <register>' can be used.
+* \verbatim doesn't begin and end with \par, so it can be used in the
+  middle of a paragraph.
+* \pathafterhook added to \path in path.sty, so macros can execute
+  cleanup actions.
+* The \path command and friends are documented in the manual.
