2 -----------------------
3 This is a list of the most important changes in 2.x versions. It is by
4 no means complete, listing only user-visible changes which are interesting.
5 The ultimate way to know what has changed is to run diff, or even neater,
6 ask CVS about it:
7
8   * Checkout the archive (see doc/cvs for how you can do this)
9   * Determine which tags are valid, by running this command from the
10     project root directory:
11       cvs status -v -l Makefile
12     Valid tags are usually like form V2-1-0 for version 2.1.0
13   * Ask cvs for the difference between two versions:
14       cvs diff -r TAG1 -r TAG2 DIFF-OPTIONS
15     for example:
16       cvs diff -r V2-0-0 -r V2-0-1 -u
