+Changes since 0.4.3:
+
+  Changes in build dependencies:
+
+    * iconv, which is ordinarily installed as part of a Unix-like
+      system, is now required.  If you don't have it already, you can
+      install GNU libiconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/).
+
+  The PROCESS IF command, which was deprecated, has been removed.  You
+  may replace any usage of it by SELECT IF following TEMPORARY, which
+  has the same effect.
+
+  For developers, the build system now requires Autoconf 2.60 and
+  Automake 1.10.
 
 Changes since 0.4.0 to 0.4.1:
 
+  Added support for very long string variables > 255 bytes.
+
+  Output changes:
+
+    * Output configuration options have changed.  Please refer to the
+      manual for a full description of the available options.
+
+      In consequence, you will need to reinstall your "devices" file.
+      "make install" will do this for you.
+
+    * The PostScript driver now obtains font metrics from AFM files,
+      instead of Groff-format metrics files.  It can now embed
+      PostScript fonts in its output.
+
+      In consequence, you will need to install an AFM file for each
+      font used in PostScript output.  "make install" will install AFM
+      files for the standard PostScript files, including the ones that
+      the PostScript driver uses by default.

     A new PSPP extension called "scratch files" has been implemented.

     Scratch files can be used just about anywhere a system or portable
