0.042
 - New option --comment which allows users to leave comments on each state.
 - Autocomment on states being recorded before restoring a state.
 - Autocomment on states being recorded in postsync hook.
 - Option --wipe can now also be used to just delete a single state.

0.041
 - Tell user what we are doing when analyzing the current state
 - Do not call GetTerminalSize() if TERM is not set in environment (e.g. when demerge is called by cron; reported by pille <pille@struction.de>)

0.040
 - Speedups/Caching (in memory)
 - New storage format (uses less disk space; melts down ~13MB to 60kb per state)
 - Converter which converts old states (version >=0.027) to the new format
 - Overall performance: up to 5 times faster than 0.035
 - Do not call GetTerminalSize() from Term::ReadKey when --postsync is called.
  (Problems occured while testing on ppc/efika. Reported by Wernfried Haas <amne@gentoo.org>)
 - Moved configfile to /etc/demerge.conf (converter takes care about moving your configfile to the new location)

 - Use getEbuildName() and formatUseflags() from PortageXS-0.02.05 (see PortageXS changelog for further information)
 - Made NOCOLOR work with PortageXS-0.02.05

0.032
 - Fixed typo in help.
 - Work around for portage bug that made useflags appear multiple times in USE/IUSE.
 - Prettified output. Hope you all like it.
 - Added new option: -C, --nocolor: Turn off colors

 - Handle user termination correctly when executing external programs.
 - Added a note about binpkgs and useflags.

0.031
 - Fixed error that some packages weren't emerged in a demerge --restore process (broken in 0.030).
 - New option --dir which can be used to change the datadir demerge uses. Furthermore this can also be
  done using the new .demergerc. See `man demerge` for further information.
 - -k, --usepkg now creates binpkgs of the packages before unmerging them.
 - Fixed changelog.
