-    <ul>
-    <li>Support viewing tables up to 2^31 (2 billion) rows in the table
-        viewer window.  The previous limit was 2^27 (134 million) rows.</li>
-    <li>Attempting to write FITS tables with &gt;999 columns now fails
-        with a more helpful error message.</li>
-    <li>Somewhat improved Unicode handling in VOTables.
-        If you load a VOTable with columns marked datatype="unicodeChar"
-        and save it again, the columns now remain unicodeChar
-        instead of getting squashed to type char.
-        Some lurking Unicode-related issues remain.</li>
-    <li>Change the default RegTAP registry endpoint to
-        <code>http://reg.g-vo.org/tap</code>,
-        which should have good reliability,
-        since it can point to different RegTAP services as required.</li>
-    <li>Fix regression bug (introduced at v4.2) which caused authentication
-        to fail when using the SQL Query load dialogue.</li>
-    <li>Fix time plot to work for ISO-8601 times.
-        This change also breaks use of ISO-8601 times in non-time plots,
-        but that didn't work particularly well before.
-        Please complain if this change of functionality causes a problem.</li>
-    <li>Add special variables <code>$ncol</code> and <code>$nrow</code> to
-        the expression language to refer to the column and row counts
-        in the underlying table.
-        The special variable <code>index</code> is also deprecated in favour
-        of <code>$index</code> or <code>$0</code>.</li>
-    <li>Add (experimental) read-only support for Gaia/DPAC 
-        <ref id="inGbin">GBIN format</ref>.</li>
-    <li>Add some more colour maps for aux/density shading.</li>
-    <li>Fix problem with activation action image viewer selection box.</li>
