+Changes since GOOPS 1.0:
+
+* Changes to the distribution
+
+** Updated the NEWS file with some lacking history
+
+** Important bugfix to the configure script
+
+** Updated documentation to reflect new method syntax
+
+* Changes to functions and syntax
+
+** define-method: New syntax mandatory.
+
+The new method syntax described below under "Changes since GOOPS
+0.1.6" is now mandatory.
+
+If you have old code using the old syntax, import
+(oop goops old-define-method) before (oop goops):
+
+  (use-modules (oop goops old-define-method) (oop goops))
+
+
+Changes since GOOPS 0.9.0:
+
+* Changes to the distribution
+
+** Adaptations to changes in Guile
+
+** Bumped libgoopscore version number to 5.
+
+** Added a guile-oops manpage
+
+* Changes to the object system
+
+** Bugfix: Made method memoization thread safe
+
+** Bugfix: Make sure body expansion works OK for methods.
+
+** Hopefully last fix to method dispatch.
+
+* Changes to functions and syntax
+
+** New module: (oop goops internal)
+
+Exports internal bindings.  Good to have when implementing new modules
+making use of GOOPS guts.
+
+* Changes to the scm_interface
+
+** Avoid using C++ reserved words in goops.h
+
+
+Changes since GOOPS 0.1.8:
+
+* Changes to the distribution

+Changes since GOOPS 0.1.6:
+
+* Changes to the distribution
+
+** Miscellaneous changes to documentation files
+
+** Adaptations to new error message templates (~S, ~A)

+** Adaptations to reorganization of types in Guile
+
+** General adaptations to Guile-1.4
+
+* Changes to the object system
+
+** Fixed dispatch on generic functions with rest arguments
+
+* Changes to functions and syntax
+
+** define-method:
+
+Methods definitions now have a new syntax:
+
+(define-method (NAME ARG-SPEC ...) BODY ...)
+(define-method (NAME ARG-SPEC ... . REST-ARG) BODY ...)
+
+  ARG-SPEC ::= ARG-NAME | (ARG-NAME TYPE)
+  REST-ARG ::= ARG-NAME
+
+The old syntax (define-method NAME (ARG-SPEC ...) BODY ...)
+will be around for a while.
+
+** New module: (oop goops save)
+
+Contains functions for saving objects to and loading object from
+files.  (Please refer to comments at the top of the module.)
+
+** Bugfixes to getters
+
+** Bugfix: shallow-clone, deep-clone
+
+** compute-std-cpl
+

+(Thanks to Michael Livshin.)
+
+* Changes to the scm_ interface
+
+** Made C variables for system classes global
