-* Changes
-** Changes for 0.9.0
-*** New features
-**** =yas-key-syntaxes= is much more powerful and accepts functions
-     Enables use cases when discovering keys based on buffer syntax is
-     not good enough. See issue #497.
-**** Documentation rewritten in org-mode and updated
-     A tremendous effort by Noam Postavsky. Hopefully easier to
-     maintain and navigate. Available at
-     http://capitaomorte.github.io/yasnippet/.
-**** Snippets are now maintained in their own repo
-     Snippets live in Andrea Crotti's
-     =https://github.com/andreacrotti/yasnippet-snippets=. See
-     README.md for more details.
-**** Textmate snippet imported moved to separate =yasmate= repo
-     URL is =https://github.com/capitaomorte/yasmate=. See README.md
-     for more details.
-**** =yas-snippet-dirs= now allows symbols as aliases to directories
-     The added level of indirection should allow more esoteric
-     configurations. See Github #495.
-**** =yas-reload-all= can now jit-load when called interactively
-**** Tests run automatically in the Travis CI system
-**** New =yas-after-reload-hook= run after =yas-reload-all=
-     See https://github.com/pezra/rspec-mode/pull/75 for the
-     discussion leading up to this change.
-**** New functions =yas-activate-extra-mode= and =yas-deactivate-extra-mode=
-     These are preferable to setting =yas-extra-modes= directly in the
-     mode hook. See issue #420 for more information.
-**** New variable =yas-new-snippet-default=
-     The default snippet suggested on =yas-new-snippet= can now be
-     customized.
-
-*** Fixed bugs
-
-    TODO: harvest most "Fix XXX" references from the comments and add
-    each as a single heading. A googlecode tracker bug should be "Fix
-    Googlecode 123" whereas a github tracker bug should be "Fix Github
-    #123". If a summarized description can be done in a few words, add
-    it, otherwise don't care.
-
-**** Github #527, #525 and #526: Attempt to prevent "fallback loops"
-     When interactiing with other extensions that use similar fallback
-     mechanisms.
-
-** Changes for 0.8.0
-*** New features
-**** All YASnippet symbols being with =yas-=. Keep old =yas/= versions as aliases
-**** Yasnippet is now Free Software Foundation's copyright
-**** =yas-dont-activate= can be a list of functions
-**** Snippets are loaded just-in-time 
-     Thanks to Matthew Fidler for a lot of input with the implementation.
-**** =yasnippet-bundle.el= is no longer available
-     Use =yas-compile-directory= instead if you need the speed advantage.
-**** New functions =yas-compile-directory= and  =yas-recompile-all=
-     This feature is still undocumented.  Generate a
-     =.yas-compiled-snippets.el= file in the directory passed where
-     snippets are compiled into emacs-lisp code.
-**** New =yas-verbosity= variable
-**** Interactively calling =yas-exit-snippet= exist most recently inserted snippet
-**** Using filenames as snippet triggers is deprecated
-**** Default value of =yas-show-menu-p= is =abbreviate=
-**** =yas-visit-snippet= ignores =yas-prompt-functions=
-**** =yas-buffer-local-condition=  restricted to trigger-key expansions by default
-**** =yas-load-snippet-buffer= (=C-c C-c=) in =snippet-mode= has been much improved
-**** New variable =yas-expand-only-for-last-commands=, thanks Erik Postma
-**** New variable =yas-extra-modes= aliases old =yas/mode-symbol=
-**** New =yas-describe-tables= command
-**** New =yas-define-condition-cache= macro
-     This defines an optimised function for placing in a =#
-     condition:= directive that will run at most once per
-     snippet-expansion attempt.
-**** Mirrors can occur inside fields
-**** New =# type: command= directive
-     This feature is still undocumented
-**** A hidden =.yas-setup.el= is loaded if found in a snippet directory
-**** =yas/wrap-around-region= can now also be =cua= (undocumented feature)
-**** Make menu groups automatically using new  =.yas-make-groups= file
-**** Per-snippet keybindings using =# keybinding:= directive
-**** More friendly =yas/expand-snippet= calling convention
-     This breaks backward compatibility.
-**** The =# env:= directive is now =# expand-env:=
-**** Setup multiple parent modes using new =.yas-parents= file
-*** Fixed bugs
-    TODO: harvest most "Fix XXX" references from the comments and add
-    each as a single heading. A googlecode tracker bug should be "Fix
-    Googlecode 123" whereas a github tracker bug should be "Fix Github
