+* Version 3.5.1
+
+    o Fixed autoconf/automake:
+
+      * Should always work if maya/rman are disabled (the default)
+
+      * Removed checking for specific versions of maya & compiler
+        combinations--there's too many to check them all.
+
+      * Tries to use the 'buildconfig' file included in the Maya distro when
+        building maya plugins.  This should make supporting different
+        versions and platforms a lot easier.
+
+      * Rman is not tested recently, but is much simpler than maya, so it
+        should work
+
+    o Added gtoDB python module, as a faster replacement for gtoContainer.py
+
+      * gtoDB is written in swig.  The cpp file is in the dist, so swig itself
+        is only needed if the .i files are changed.
+
+    o gtoIO and GtoDeformer build, but GtoCacheEmitter, GtoParticleDisplay, and
+      GtoParticleExport are missing dependencies from the Tweak source tree.
+      I'm leaving them in the distro in case someone wants to use them as a
+      starting point.  Maybe someday they'll get fixed.
+
+
 * Version 3.5
 
     o Added houndini geo converter and four new maya plugins: GtoDeformer,
