+Changes from 0.8.5 to 0.9.0:
+
+ * The QUICK CLUSTER command has a  /PRINT subcommand which shows
+   the initial cluster centres and the final cluster membership of
+   each case.  The clustering algorithm has also been updated, so
+   as to produce better separated clusters.
 
  * A Russian localisation has been contributed.
 
- * The graphical user interface uses Gtk+ version 3 instead of version 2.
-   Accordingly, it has a somewhat different look and feel.
+ * The GRAPH command now has a /BAR subcommand to draw barcharts.
+
+ * The graphical user interface (psppire) has been changed as follows:
+
+   - It now uses Gtk+ version 3 instead of version 2.  Accordingly, it has a 
+     somewhat different look and feel.
+
+   - There is now a Graphs menu to access the GRAPH command.
+
+   - The status of dialog box widgets are now preserved between calls
+     to the same dialog box for the same dataset.
+
+   - The dialog box for the Logistic Regression command will now
+     infer that string variables or any varible with a "measure"
+     of Nominal or Ordinal are to be treated as categorical variables
+     and will generate syntax accordingly.
+
+ * The pspp-convert utility can now decrypt encrypted syntax files.
+   The encrypted syntax file format is unacceptably insecure, so to
+   discourage its use PSPP and PSPPIRE do not directly read or write
+   this format.
