+            halloc 1.2.1
+
+    ===
+          
+    	Hierarchical memory allocation interface - an extension 
+    	to standard malloc/free interface that simplifies tasks 
+    	of memory disposal in cases when allocated structures 
+    	exhibit hierarchical properties.

+    	To build libhalloc.a with GNU tools run
+    		make

+    	To cleanup the build files 
+    		make clean

+    ===
+
+    	halloc-1.2.1
+
+    		* fixed a double-free bug in _set_allocator() as per
+    		  Matthew Gregan comments
+
+    		* switched to using NULL instead of 0 where applicable
+
+    	halloc-1.2.0
+
+    		* added missing <string.h> include to halloc.c
+    		
+    		* improved standard compliance thanks to the feedback
+    		  received from Stan Tobias. Two things were fixed -
+    		  
+    		- hblock_t structure no longer uses zero-sized 'data'
+    		  array, which happened to be common, but non-standard
+    		  extension; 
+    		  
+    		- secondly, added the code to test the behaviour of 
+    		  realloc(ptr, 0). Standard allows it NOT to act as
+    		  free(), in which case halloc will use its own version
+    		  of allocator calling free() when neccessary.
+
+    	halloc-1.1.0
+
+    		* initial public release (rewrite of hhmalloc library)
