+0.4.0 (to be announced) "simultaneous independence"
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
+improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
+has been moved to a library, libosl. To use the new version, you have
+to generate new RSA keys, see INSTALL for details. A shell script is
+provided for conversion of the 0.3 database to the new 0.4 format.
+
