Version 0.01
------------

* initial release

------------
Version 0.02
------------

* decreased the complex test file, which speeds up the complex test
  and decreases the size of the distribution file

* decreased the number of threads in the threads test

* added copyright notice to the README file

* minor corrections/cleanups

------------
Version 0.03
------------

* fixed default sizes for floats and double in object constructor

* fixed some 64-bit architecture issues

* fixed bug in bison parser

* fixed problems with some tests

* added support for dec_osf platform

------------
Version 0.04
------------

* support for 64-bit data types on all platforms

* additional data types

  o long long

  o long double

* new methods

  o clean -- cleaning an object

  o clone -- cloning an object

  o depencencies -- retrieve an object's dependencies

  o sourcify -- emit an object's parsed data as C source

* changed method behaviour

  o configure

    - The 'HashSize' option has been removed. I didn't like
      it anyway, and since the hash tables are now growing
      automatically, it's completely useless.

  o def

    - Instead of undef, 0 and 1, the def method will now return
      undef, '' (the empty string) or the kind of the type you
      passed as an argument, e.g. 'typedef' or 'union'.

* added method behaviour

  o configure

    - Calls to configure (and other configuration methods) can
      be chained together when they're 'set' method calls.

  o parse, parse_file

    - All method calls that have no return value will return a
      reference to their object, so method chaining is possible.

  o pack, unpack, sizeof, offsetof, member

    - These methods now can all operate on compound members, i.e.
      you could say $obj->sizeof( 'type.foo.x' ).

  o member

    - The member method now can optionally return the type of the
      requested member.

* new Convert::Binary::C::Cached module

  o cached Convert::Binary::C objects

  o identical interface

  o can speed up parsing by up to 10 - 20 times

* increased speed for packing and unpacking arrays

* increased portability

* added new and improved existing tests

* some bug fixes and a lot of code cleanups

* upgraded to bison 1.75

------------
Version 0.05
------------

* fixed a bug that suppressed the error message
  when the cache file could not be created, and
  added a test for it

------------
Version 0.06
------------

* removed options 'HasVOID' and 'HasC99Keywords'

* added 'DisabledKeywords' option, which replaces both 'HasVOID' and
  'HasC99Keywords', and allows to disable a lot of other keywords, too:

    HasVOID => 0         -->  DisabledKeywords => ['void']
    HasC99Keywords => 0  -->  DisabledKeywords => [qw(inline restrict)]

* updated parser to ignore type definitions within code blocks

* fixed an access violation when cleaning up the preprocessor

* removed warning when using sourcify method

* added some more tests

* added examples directory and some example scripts

* added more examples to documentation

* documentation fixes/updates
