+New in 0.3.8
+* January 18, 2005
+
+* Configure script does a sanity check for the existance of openal.
+* Better pthreads detection for FreeBSD.
+* Abstract out the location of gl.h, glu.h, and glut.h so we can more
+  easily support MacOS which puts these in an oddball location.
+* Added two new debug output types for instrumentation and systems.
+* Add a name parameter to the waypoint class for supporting a route
+  manager in the flightgear gps module.
+* Make display list usage optional.
+* Event manager: specifying a zero delay will force event execution in
+  the next frame rather than entering an infinite loop.
+* gcc-4.0 fix.
+* Fixes to property tree loading and saving.
+* Make volume inaudible at startup.
+* Solaris fixes.
+* For low density cloud coverages, blend the layer to nothing as we pass
+  through instead of fully engulfing the aircraft in the cloud.
+* Add several new capabilities to the texture management code for building
+  normal maps and doing some simple on-the-fly effects on textures.
+* Better error message for sound problems.
+* Add support for binding a thread to a specific CPU.

+New in 0.3.7
+* October 12, 2004

+* Don't reduce visibility for a "clear" cloud layer.
+* Add support for audio orientation (direction and cone) for internal
+  view and tower view.

+
+* Better MinGW support
