+Changes from 0.7.3 to 0.7.7:
+
+ * The "pspp" program has a new option --batch (or -b) that selects
+ "batch" syntax mode. In previous versions of PSPP this syntax mode
+ was the default. Now a new "auto" syntax mode is the default. In
+ "auto" mode, PSPP interprets most syntax files correctly regardless
+ of their intended syntax mode.
+
+ See the "Syntax Variants" section in the PSPP manual for more
+ information.
+
+ * The "pspp" program has a new option --syntax-encoding that
+ specifies the encoding for syntax files listed on the command line,
+ as well as the default encoding for syntax files included with
+ INCLUDE or INSERT. The default is to accept the system locale
+ encoding, UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32, automatically detecting which
+ one the system file uses.
+
+ See the documentation for the INSERT command in the PSPP manual for
+ more information.
+
+ * The INCLUDE and INSERT commands now support the ENCODING subcommand
+ to specify the encoding for the included syntax file.
+
+ * Strings may now include arbitrary Unicode code points specified in
+ hexadecimal, using the syntax U'hhhh'. For example, Unicode code
+ point U+1D11E, the musical G clef character, may be expressed as
+ U'1D11E'.
+
+ See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+
+ * In previous versions of PSPP, in a string expressed in hexadecimal
+ with X'hh' syntax, the hexadecimal digits expressed bytes in the
+ locale encoding. In this version of PSPP, X'hh' syntax always
+ expresses bytes in UTF-8 encoding.
+
+ See the "Tokens" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+
+ * The DO REPEAT command has been reimplemented. The most prominent
+ change is that when a DO REPEAT block contains an INCLUDE or INSERT
+ command, substitutions are not applied to the included file.
+
+ See the "DO REPEAT" section in the PSPP manual for more information.
+
+ * NPAR TESTS now supports the /KRUSKAL-WALLIS and /RUNS subcommands.
+
+ * AUTORECODE now supports the /GROUP subcommand.
+
+ * The MRSETS command is now implemented.
+
+ * SAVE TRANSLATE is now implemented, with initial support for saving
+ data in comma-separated value and tab-delimited formats.
+
+ * The PRESERVE and RESTORE commands are now implemented.
+
+ * The HOST command has been updated to use more modern syntax.
+
+ * The SET and SHOW commands no longer support the ENDCMD, NULLINE,
+ PROMPT, CPROMPT, and DPROMPT subcommands. The defaults are now the
+ only supported values.
+
+Changes from 0.7.2 to 0.7.3:
+
+ * Charts are now produced with Cairo and Pango, instead of libplot.
+ Without them, the new graphing features will not work. If you do
+ not have Cairo and Pango installed, you must run `configure' with
+ --without-cairo.
+
+ * The new "cairo" output driver supports output in PostScript, PDF,
+ and SVG formats. Its functionality is a superset of that of the
+ "postscript" driver, which has been removed. You must have Cairo
+ and Pango installed to build the "cairo" driver.
