+- New Harbour Project homepage, thanks for Vailton Renato.
+  http://www.harbour-project.org/
+- GNU Make system now supports parallel builds.
+  (needs GNU Make newer than 3.79.1)
+- GNU Make system allows to install in Harbour source tree on all platforms.
+- GNU Make system for bcc and msvc options synced with non-GNU build methods.
+- GNU Make system no longer needs -r parameter.
+- GNU Make system will now generate hbfm and hbfmmt lib for all compilers.
+  Added few more similar unification cleanups.
+- Implemented .dll generation for msvc, msvc64, bcc and owatcom when using
+  GNU Make system.
+- Added support for Open Watcom 1.8 (it's recommended over 1.7).
+- Added support for import lib generation when using GNU Make with msvc and vcc.
+  Enable it with 'set HB_DIR_IMPLIB=yes' plus set HB_DIR_* envvars.
+- -mtune=pentiumpro optimization is now default for mingw/cygwin.
+- Cleaned new mingw 4.3.3 warnings.
+- Certain features will require Windows NT or upper when building
+  Harbour on Windows, so this is now a requirement for a proper build.
+- hb-mkslib.sh renamed to hb-mkdyn.sh. Old name stil works, but it's
+  now deprecated.
+- x64 msvc compiler got a distinct HB_COMPILER value: msvc64.
+- msvcce compiler made compatible with older MSVC/WinCE versions.
+- Added support for Intel(R) C++ compiler on Linux and Windows.
+- Added new INSTALL document giving a quick describing of the build
+  process on all supported platforms and compilers.
+- Several steps to make the build process simpler and requiring the
+  less amount of preparation.
+- Fixed missing owatcom support for HB_USER_LDFLAGS.
+- Added support for MSVC IA64 mode. (untested)
+- Added support for HB_CONTRIBLIBS=no to disable building of all contribs.
+- Added ability to generate Windows installer and .zip distribution file.
+- Fully transitioned to GNU Make system for all compilers.
+  Now msvc, msvcce and bcc builds need GNU Make, see INSTALL for more
+  information. "non-GNU" make systems got deleted from the source tree.
+- Cygwin renamed from gcc to cygwin. (NOTE: Cygwin doesn't work since
+  some versions, and support may be removed in the future.)
+- Fixed #pragma -k? options to be case-insensitive.
+- Explicitly bind system libraries with harbour shared library.
+  RPM/DEB packages should automatically detect these dependencies.
+- Warning cleanup (minors) for Intel compiler.
+- Pelles C workarounds for compiler bugs.
+- Added support for extended definition files in Harbour compiler
+  switches: -u+<file>
+- Fixed memory leak when repeated -u[<file>] options are used.

+- Replaced old hbmk.bat, hbmk bash script and Harbour Make tool with
+  portable make tool written in Harbour: hbmk. This tool can create
+  a Harbour executable on any platforms using minimal effort. It autodetects
+  OS and compiler environment. Support script and parameter files,
+  can act as a linker, C compiler, Harbour compiler, static and dynamic
+  library creator, resource compiler (on Windows). Core features are
+  completed on all major platforms. Some non-mainstream features and
+  platforms may be completed later. All existing features of hbmk
+  bash script (for gcc) and of hbmk.bat are supported in this new tool,
+  and much more. Replaced Win/DOS specific .bat files with portable
+  .hbp and .hbm files.
+- Added all missing non-multibyte codepages.
+- LISTBOX() doesn't modify _SET_EXACT settings anymore in :Find*() methods.
+- HVM pcode evaluation speed improvement.
+- Fixed _SET_EXACT handling in core.
+- hb_gtInfo( HB_GTI_PALLETE ) now uses zero based color indexes in

+  compatibility.
+- Fixed very old bug showing wrong default status for -n option on
+  Harbour help screen.
+- Added support for reading FoxPro .mem files - Clipper compatibility.
+- Fixed very old bug which disabled writing to .mem files strings
+  longer then 32Kb.
+- hbrun now accepts .dbf file as paramater, which it will open after startup.
+- hbrun now accepts -v option which makes it display its own version after
+  startup.
+- Borland C++ compiler is now called 'bcc' instead of 'bcc32'. Please update
+  your system.
+- Removed almost all DOS/WIN specific build/make batch files.
+- Fixed __M[V]CLEAR()/ __M[V]RESTORE() to be exactly Clipper compatible
+  and do not release PUBLIC GetList value.
+- bcc compiler in GNU Make now supports older Windows NT with limited
+  command line length.
+- Removed support for following compilers:
+  dos/bcc16, dos/rsx32, win/dmc, win/rsxnt, os2/icc, win/icc (IBM).
+- Fixed static variables indexes in the generated PCODE when static
+  variables are declared inside extended codeblocks - in some cases
+  wrong PCODE was generated.
+- Fixed initialization PCODE for thread static variables declared
+  inside extended codeblocks.
+- Fixed modulename generated for debugger to always contain function name
+  part for extended codeblock declared as file wide static variables.
+  In such case "(_INITSTATICS)" is used as function name.
+  Without it debugger does not register entering such codeblocks and
+  GPFs.
+- Added support for automatic adding 1-st function with the same name
+  as compiled .prg file if some code statements are used before 1-st
+  function/procedure declared explicitly in .prg file. Such mode can
+  be enabled by -n2 new harbour compiler switch. This switch is used
+  by default by new hbmk tool.
+- speedtst updated to work with CA-Cl*pper.
+- Added protection against pushing new private variable on HVM stack
+  if such private variable is already created by the same function.
+  Clipper also has such protection.
+- Respect HB_START_PROCEDURE in all builds if such public
+  function/procedure exists.
+- Disabled HB_MSC_STARTUP in C++ MSVC builds.
+- Forbid some usage of __clsModMsg() and unblock some others
+  It should make some xHarbour users using OVERRIDE METHOD happy
+  but please remember it's still undocumented and unsupported
+  functionality - use for your own risk.
+- Fixed typo in HB_INETDATAREADY() - the second parameter (timeout)
+  was ignored.
+- Changed the NOT operator precedence - it should be bigger then
+  logical .and./.or. operators in #if expressions.
+- Fixed HB_REGEXMATCH(). Now the HAS/LIKE mode can be controlled
+  by 5th logical parameter (was 3rd), so 3rd parameter is solely
+  controlling case-sensitivity as indicated in the documentation.
+  Users are recommended to use HB_REGEXHAS() and HB_REGEXLIKE()
+  functions as unambiguous alternatives, which work equally
+  well on all Harbour versions. HB_REGEXMATCH() is now deprecated,
+  but kept for compatibility.
+- ACHOICE() fixed to redisplay itself when exiting with <Esc> or
+  equivalent.
