+
+       * The makefile system has been reworked. All configuration settings
+       are now passed to the configure script in environment variables,
+       allowing for easy tweaking in the top-level Makefile. All control
+       knobs are now described in the README.
+
+       * The libpci can be built as a shared library with properly restricted
+       symbol exports. Use `make SHARED=yes' to enable that or `make SHARED=local'
+       for a local testing build (with hardwired paths to the library, so that
+       it does not need installation).
+
+       * The example program has been moved from lib/example.c to the top-level
+       directory, because it should be built exactly as the other utilities
+       are. It has been also improved slightly to educate better.
+
+       * The i386-ports method is enabled on Linux/x86_64 as well.
+
+2008-02-13  Martin Mares <mj@ucw.cz>
+
+       * Released as 2.2.10-net2.
+
+       * Support for resolving of PCI ID's using DNS together with a local
+       cache of resolved entries has been added. See the `-q' and `-Q' options
+       of lspci.
+
+       * The library now has a generic system of settable parameters, which
+       also include settings of the DNS resolver and cache. An `-O' option
+       has been added to lspci and setpci to allow setting of these options.
+
+       * Configuration of the access methods are now specified by the new
+       parameter system, replacing the pci_access->method_params array.
+
+       * Access methods now also have sensible names and help texts and it
+       is possible to look up method ID by a name.
+
+       * An `-A' switch has been added to both lspci and setpci, allowing to
+       select an arbitrary access method. The `-P' switch (configure proc
+       backend) has been removed as it is no longer needed and I do not know
+       any its user.
+
+       * Several source files have been split for better maintainability
+       (most notably the resolving of ID's).
+
+       * Man pages and help texts have been updated. A new man page `pcilib(7)'
+       has been added and description of library options has been moved there.
+
+       * When an unknown device ID is encountered, we print `Device <id>'
+       instead of `Unknown device <id>'. It uses less space and it also
+       should reduce the number of inexperienced users complaining that
+       the device is not supported by the OS. To lookup up OS drivers,
+       use the `-k' option.
+
+       * PCI_LIB_VERSION has been bumped to 0x020299.
+
+       * Makefile: stripping of the binaries during installation can be
+       overridden by the STRIP variable.
+       
+       * lib/types.h: We use the integer types from <stdint.h> if the
+       compiler claims C99 support.
