+
+======== Requirements
+
+  GTK+-1.2.0: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
+  Imlib 1.9: ftp://ftp.labs.redhat.com/pub/imlib
+
+======== Notes and changes for this release
+
+  Changes:
+    > Now use autoconf/make, resulting in a configure script.
+    > Now supports i18n, added translations: de ja pt_BR ru
+    > Remove 'save settings on exit', they are now always saved.
+    > Copy/move dialogs now include drop down history.
+    - Icons now update when size is configured.
+    - When dragging files, and the action was a move, refresh the filelist.
+    * Icons sizes are now properly remembered when the config dialog is opened
+      then closed without re-selecting the size.
+
+  Notes:
+   known bug: When starting up with tools floating, then unfloat the tools and
+              attempt to do drag and drop, BOOM! endless loop of errors on
+              GTK+-1.2.3 (hint: could use a little help figuring this out)
+
+======== Installation
+
+  Compilation: ./configure ; make
+  General install: make install
+  GNOME install: make gnome-install is deprecated!, configure finds gnome for
+                 you now. 
+  Removal: make uninstall
