+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
+
+* Add support for parsing xml from an in memory buffer, not just a file.
+* Don't reduce visibility for a "clear" cloud layer.
+* Add support for audio orientation (direction and cone) for internal
+  view and tower view.
+* Add support for drawing from display lists rather than in immediate mode.
+  This provides a big performance improvement on many systems.
+
+
+New in 0.3.6
+* July 29, 2004
+
+* Better MinGW support
+* A bit better handling of OpenAL under Cygwin
+* Switched audio system from plib's "sl/sm" to OpenAL.
+* Add support for scaling an object based on distance.  The scaling
+  factor is determined by a lookup table based on distance.
+* Add a "flash" animation type.
+* Fix cloud positioning/animation bugs.
+* Fix an off-by-one error in props_io.cxx
+* Clip audio gain (volume) to 1.0
+
+
+New in 0.3.5
+* March 26, 2004
+
+* Added Andy's nasal interpreter for small built in scripting tasks.
+  Nasal integrates nicely with FlightGear's property system.
+* Added new (much simpler) metar parsing code (removed older more
+  complex code.)
+* Support VASI/PAPI lights correctly.
+* Fixes to cloud animation.
+* Updates to sky dome coloring as well as sun/moon coloring.
+* Vary environment lighting with visibility (subtlely.)
+* Support control of alpha test in model animation.
+* Complete rewrite of the event manager.
+* Updates to low level socket code to make it more flexible.
+* Win32 serial port communication fixes.
+* sg_geodesy rewritten to be more accurate and robust and symmetric.
+
+
+New in 0.3.4
+* October 22, 2003
+
+* Removed Metakit, FlightGear no longer uses it.
+* Removed all glut dependencies from SimGear.
+* Moved FGEventMgr and FGSubsystemMgr over to SimGear.
+* Some more incremental work on 3D clouds.
+* Added some "fastmath" functions.
+* Some lighting tweaks and fixes (especially for taxiways.)
+* Added support for "blend" and "scale" and "texture" animations.
+* Added support for animating rotations around an arbitrary axis (so the
+  aircraft designer isn't forced to figure out animations as a combination
+  of rotations around X, Y, and X axes.
+* Updates to sky dome modeling and make cloud layers follow the curve
+  of the earth (sort of.)
+* Updates to sky dome, cloud, and sunrise/sunset color and lighting
+  effects to make them more realistic and lifelike.
+* Better support for detecting and using OpenGL extensions at run time.
+* Add support for win32-pthreads in MSVC.NET
+* Various MSVC fixes.
+* Various Solaris fixes.
+* Various cygwin/mingwin fixes.
+* Various Mac OS X fixes.
+* Various Irix fixes.
