+== PyMateCORBA 2.14.0 ==
+2006-03-12  Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro  <gjc@gnome.org>
+
+	* configure.in: Bump to version 2.14.0.
+
+== PyMateCORBA 2.13.1 ==
+2005-12-11  Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro  <gjc@gnome.org>
+
+	* configure.in: Bump version to 2.13.1.
+
+	* NEWS: Update.
+
+	* src/pycorba-method.c (pycorba_method_call): Refactor: split code
+	into pycorba_call_marshal_args, pycorba_call_demarshal_retval, and
+	pycorba_call_cleanup, so that the code can be reused in async calls.
+	Add a new 'async' method to corba bound methods, which invokes the
+	corba method asynchronously, with callback notification.
+
+	* examples/echo/echo.idl: Make Test::Echo::echo return value string.
+
+	* examples/echo/echo-server.py (EchoServant.echo): echo back the
+	message as return value.
+
+	* examples/echo/echo-client-async.py: Like echo-client.py, but async.
+
+== PyMateCORBA 2.13.0 ==
+2005-12-04  Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro  <gjc@gnome.org>
+
+	* NEWS: Update.
+
+	* configure.in: Change version to 2.13.0, to indication this is
+	for the MATE 2.13/2.14 release cycle, otherwise it becomes too
+	confusing in the long term.
+
+	* examples/echo/*: A simple echo example, including a sample makefile to
+	compile and install a typelib.
+
+	* examples/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Include the echo example.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-servant.c (pymatecorba_servant_new): Call
+	MateCORBA_classinfo_register.  Fixes #151406.
+
+	* configure.in: Require MateCORBA 2.12 (thread hints, bugs fixed, etc.)
+
+	* examples/threaded/thread-hints-client.py: Parse cmd line args
+	like 1 2 to specify order of objects to operate on.
+
+	* src/pycorba-method.c (pycorba_method_call): Add missing
+	begin/end_allow_threads.  Now threading completely works as expected.
+
+2005-12-03  Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro  <gjc@gnome.org>
+
+	* examples/threaded/thread-hints-server.py: Create custom POA with
+	thread hints and thread policy.  Now concurrent threading works,
+	but THREAD_HINT_PER_REQUEST is behaving more like
+	THREAD_HINT_PER_CONNECTION, i.e. concurrency from multiple clients
+	works well, but requests from the same client are being serialized.
+
+	* src/Makefile.am: Add pycorba-policy.c.
+
+	* src/MateCORBAmodule.c (initMateCORBA): Register new types.
+
+	* src/pycorba-policy.c: Wrapper for CORBA.Policy; Isn't a
+	PyCORBA_Object due to a crash in pycorba_object_repr.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-poa.c (pymatecorba_poa_create_thread_policy),
+	(pymatecorba_poa_create_POA): Wrap these.
+
+	* src/MateCORBAmodule.c (initMateCORBA): Define
+	PortableServer_ThreadPolicyValue values.
+
+	* examples/threaded/thread-hints-client.py, 
+	* examples/threaded/thread-hints-server.py: Example to demonstrate
+	thread hints.  For some reason, this doesn't seem to work, though.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-poa.c: Add a new baseclass to the POA type,
+	ObjectAdaptor, to contain some MateCORBA_ObjectAdaptor_* methods.
+
+	* examples/threaded/server.py: Reindent with four spaces.
+
+	* src/MateCORBAmodule.c (pymatecorba_corba_orb_init): Accept keyword args.
+	(add_matecorba_constants): Add the THREAD_HINT_* constants to the
+	module dict.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-poa.c: Some char* vs uchar* warnings fixed.
+
+	* examples/threaded/*: Add threaded server example from bug
+	#126477, written by Bowie Owens.  Slightly modified to use
+	MateCORBA.load_file instead of load_typelib to avoid a compilation step.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-servant.c (pymatecorba_servant_generic_skel_func): Add
+	pymatecorba_gil_state_ensure/pymatecorba_gil_state_release.  "Should" fix
+	#126477.  Code based on a patch by Bowie Owens.
+
+	* src/pycorba-orb.c (pycorba_orb_run): Add begin/end_allow_threads
+	around CORBA_ORB_run.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-private.h: Define the macros
+	pymatecorba_gil_state_ensure, pymatecorba_gil_state_release,
+	pymatecorba_begin_allow_threads, and pymatecorba_end_allow_threads, like
+	the ones in pygtk.
+
+2005-12-02  Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro  <gjc@gnome.org>
+
+	* m4/python-module.m4: Fix "underquoted definition of
+	AM_CHECK_PYMOD" warning.
+
+	* configure.in: Change version to 2.1.0, and required Python
+	version to 2.4.
+
+2004-10-27  James Henstridge  <james@jamesh.id.au>
+
+	* m4/jhflags.m4, m4/python-module.m4: stuff that used to be in
+	acinclude.m4.
+
+	* acinclude.m4: remove.
+
+	* configure.in: update to use AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR() and subst
+	ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS appropriately to make rebuilds work right.
+
+	* autogen.sh: allow use of automake-1.9 or 1.8, include -I m4.
+
+== PyMateCORBA 2.0.1 ==
+2004-10-04  Johan Dahlin  <johan@gnome.org>
+
+	* NEWS: Update
+
+2004-09-28  Mark McLoughlin  <mark@skynet.ie)
+
+	* src/Makefile.am: Install python files in pyexecdir.
+
+	Reviewed by Johan Dahlin <johan@gnome.org>
+
+2004-08-15  Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro  <gustavo@users.sourceforge.net>
+
+	* configure.in: Increase pymatecorba_micro_version, so that we can
+	depend on the new exported function in mate-python.
+
+	* src/pymatecorba.h, src/MateCORBAmodule.c: Export pymatecorba_check_python_ex
+	as public API.
+
+2004-06-26  Bowie Owens  <bowie.owens@csiro.au>
+
+	* src/MateCORBAmodule.c (pymatecorba_corba_orb_init): Actually copy the
+	argv elements into the C array. Fixes bug 140811
+	( pymatecorba_corba_orb_init ignores arguments. )
+
+2004-03-30  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
+
+	* src/pymatecorba-utils.c (_pymatecorba_escape_name): use
+	keywords.iskeyword for keyword checks rather than looking at
+	keywords.kwdict, which was undocumented and doesn't exist in
+	Python 2.4.  Based on patch from Scott Tsai
+	<scottt958@yahoo.com.tw> (fixes bug 138483).
+
+2003-12-17  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
+
+	* acinclude.m4, configure.in: pass -fno-strict-aliasing to
+	compiler, since Python API breaks aliasing rules.
+
+2003-09-02  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>
+
+	* ChangeLog.pre-2-0: move old change log out of the way.
+
