+This is the NEWS file for pcl-cvs, an Emacs elisp front-end to CVS.
+
+User-visible changes in the un-official CVS release of pcl-cvs
+from the official 1.05 release to 1.05-CVS-$Name:  $:
+
+* Support for using ChangeLog files, including hooks to automatically
+  guess CVS log entries from ChangeLog contents.
+
+* Support for client/server CVS (versions 1.5 through 1.7 and newer).
+
+* New commands for tagging files and directory trees (still needs to
+  be made to run in the background).
+
+* Better support for recognizing and handling unknown directories.
+
+* An attempt at new ediff and emerge interfaces (still needs work!),
+  including attempts to make vendor-branch merging work.
+
+* In a possibly misguided attempt to make it easier to see the effects
+  of changes that affect several files, diff output is now stored in a
+  uniqe buffer for each file.
+
+* Some commands now have default flags (cvs-*-flags).
+
+* Proper quoting of command line arguments displayed in *cvs-tmp*.
+
+* More hacking with getting CVSROOT right, though probably all
+  pointless, since CVS should do the right thing all the time.
+
+* Elib is back, at least in the CVS distribution.
+
+* Lots of minor bug fixes, tweaks, cleanup, re-indentation, etc.
+
+* Some minor tweaks, fixes, re-indentation, etc., in the
+  documentation.
+
+
+User-visible changes in pcl-cvs from 1.04 to 1.05:
+
+* Elib is no longer distributed with pcl-cvs.  You must get Elib
+  separately, for instance from ftp.lysator.liu.se in pub/emacs.
+
+* The Lucid Emacs support works again.
+
+* A new function, cvs-change-cvsroot, can be used to interactively
+  switch between CVS repositories.
+
+* The mode line in the *cvs* buffer now indicates when a "cvs update"
+  is running.
+
+* The .cvsignore file is automatically sorted alphabetically (to
+  reduce the risk of conflicts when two people add different files
+  simultaneously). This behaviour can be turned off with
+  cvs-sort-ignore-file.
+
+* A trailing newline is always added in commit log messages.  This
+  behaviour can be turned off with
+  cvs-commit-buffer-require-final-newline.
+
+* This version of pcl-cvs should work together with RCVS.  I have not
+  tested this myself, though.
+
+* Plus some bug fixes.  (Note that the version of cookie.el that is
+  distributed with pcl-cvs 1.04 contains errors that affects pcl-cvs.
+  You should get Elib 0.07).
+
+
+User-visible changes in pcl-cvs from 1.03 to 1.04:
+
+* Support for Emerge.  Hitting "e" on a file that is Modified, Merged
+  or in Conflict will start Emerge, an interactive file merger written
+  in Emacs Lisp.  This requires Emerge version 4.  Emerge is not
+  included in this package.  If you can't find it anywhere else, you
+  can get in from ftp.lysator.liu.se in pub/emacs.  This package makes
+  it a lot easier to resolve conflicts.
+
+* Emacs will now automatically revert your buffers when the CVS
+  commands pcl-cvs issues causes the file to change.  This automatic
+  revert never occurs if the buffer contents did not agree with the
+  file prior to the command.
+
+* If you are running Lucid GNU Emacs, you will get some fonts and
+  mouse support.  This was contributed from people at Lucid.
+
+* The variable cvs-cvsroot can be used to select the location if the
+  repository.  You no longer need to exit Emacs, setenv CVSROOT, and
+  start a new Emacs if you work with multiple repositories.
+
+* The "q" key can be used to hide the *cvs* buffer.
+
+* The name of the commands in the *cvs* have changed. If it was called
+  cvs-foo, it will now be called cvs-mode-foo.  See the ChangeLog
+  entry from Tue Aug  4 03:02:25 1992 for a complete list of changes.
+
+* The variable cvs-cvs-diff-flags is no longer used.  Instead,
+  cvs-diff-flags is always used.
+
+* Plus a lot of bug fixes.
+
+
+User-visible changes in pcl-cvs from 1.02 to 1.03:
+
+* Output from CVS to stdout and stderr is separated and parsed
+  independently.  In that way pcl-cvs should work regardless of
+  whether stdout is buffered or line-buffered.  Pcl-cvs should now
+  work with CVS 1.3 without modifications on hosts such as
+  DECstations.
+
+* Pcl-cvs now fully supports RCS version 5.6 as well as 5.5.
+
+* New functions:
+
+    + cvs-undo-local-changes ("U") - Undo all your modifications
+				     to a file and get the newest
+				     version from the repository.
+    + cvs-update-other-window	   - Similar to cvs-update.
+    + cvs-byte-compile-files       - Byte compile the selected files.
+
+* cvs-update now displays the *cvs* buffer, which initially contains a
+  small message ("Running `cvs update' in /foo/bar/gazonk/...") until
+  the update is ready.  The *cvs* buffer no longer pops up when the
+  update is ready.  It often failed to pop up, due to race conditions
+  that are very hard to solve (and I doubt that they were at all
+  solvable).
+
+* cvs-unmark-all-files is moved from "U" to "ESC DEL" to be
+  "compatible" with dired.
+
+* cvs-diff ("d") and cvs-diff-backup ("b") can be configured to work
+  on only the file the cursor is positioned on, and ignore any marked
+  files.  A prefix argument toggles this.
+
+* Only one `cvs update' can be run at a time.  (It was previously
+  possible to start more than one simultaneously, but pcl-cvs could
+  not really handle more than one.)
+
+* Some rudimentary support for programs that CVS runs at update (due
+  to the -u switch in the modules file).
+
+* Pcl-cvs now automatically generates a bug report if it can't parse
+  the output from CVS.
+
+* The *cvs* buffer is read-only.
+
+* Pcl-cvs now creates temporary files in $TMPDIR if that environment
+  variable is set (otherwise it uses /tmp).
