SIDInfo - PSID/RSID information displayer
=========================================
List of user-visible changes in SIDInfo. (Please read the
ChangeLog for more complete list of changes.)

Version 0.9.0
===========
* Lots of cleanups and some refactoring. Various bugfixes, as usual-

* STIL database support added.

* HVSC location can be specified via "HVSC_BASE" environment variable.

* Fallback character converter now supports CP850 and CP437 output in
  addition to UTF-8. You need to set "LANG" environment variable
  accordingly.

* Improvements to the sidlib.[ch] API.


Versions 0.7.0 to 0.8.0
=======================
* Build system improvements, bugfixes.

* Support for the newer ".md5" version of the Songlengths database format.
  Autodetect the HVSC Songlengths database version based on file extension.

* Verbosity level option -v added.

* The outputted strings can have escaped character sequences, set
  via option "-e <chars>", for example: -e '"|'

* Support for specifying directories instead of just individual SID files.

* Added -R option to recursively traverse directory trees.

* Updated documentation and help.

* Support for iconv (Unix only) to convert the ISO-8859-1 character
  set used in PSID files to host encoding (UTF-8 for example).

* Simple fallback converter that is used if iconv is not available,
  e.g. for Windows builds. Can only convert to UTF-8.
