+=========================================
+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

+
+
+Versions 0.7.0 to 0.8.0
+=======================

+
+* 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.
