+Changes since 0.8.2:
+
+ * REGRESSION now recognises /STATISTICS=CI(x) which causes confidence
+   intervals for the coefficients to be printed.
+
+ * PSPPIRE graphical user interface improvements:
+
+   - File|Open now allows an encoding to be selected for opening
+     system files.
+
+   - File|Display Data File Information|External File... now allows an
+     encoding to be selected.
+
+   - A problem with the Means dialog has been resolved (bug #41433).
+
+   - Several problems related to the input of spreadsheets have been
+     fixed (bug #41657, #41620
+
+ * System file related improvements:
+
+   - With ENCODING="DETECT", SYSFILE INFO can now help the user to
+     pick an encoding for reading a system file that does not identify
+     its own encoding
+
+   - SYSFILE INFO now accepts an ENCODING subcommand to specify the
+     character encoding of string data in the system file.
+
+   - System files that contain duplicate variable names may now be
+     read successfully (bug #41475).
+
+Changes from 0.8.1 to 0.8.2:
 
  * Charts are now rendered with colours from the Tango palette instead
    of fully saturated primaries.
 
+ * Support for new system file variants:
+
+   - PSPP can now read and write ZCOMPRESSED system files, which
+     compress data much more effectively than older "compressed"
+     files.  (The older format is still supported.)
+
+   - PSPP can now decrypt encrypted system files, using the new
+     pspp-convert utility.  The encrypted system file format is
+     unacceptably insecure, so to discourage its use PSPP and PSPPIRE
+     do not directly read or write this format.
+
  * Missing values for long string variables are now read from and
    written to system files in an SPSS-compatible fashion.

    way.  To fix the problem, read the system file with this version of
    PSPP and then save a new copy of it.)
 
+ * pspp-convert, a new standalone utility for converting SPSS system
+   and portable files to other formats, is now included.  The initial
+   version supports comma-separated value files as output format.
+   pspp-convert can also decrypt encrypted system files.

  * Build changes:
 
    - zlib is now a required dependency.  (Previously it was optional.)
