-WHAT'S NEW in version 3.3.0
-   Required Python 2.2.
-   HTML parser. If the protocol is HTTP, and there is Content-Type header, and
-content type is text/html, the object is parsed to extract its title; if the
-Content-Type header has charset, or if the HTML has <META> with charset, the
-title is converted from the given charset to the default charset. The <HEADER>
-is also parsed to extract <META> tag with redirect, if any.
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.0 (2008-01-14)
+   Parser for HTML based on BeautifulSoup.
 
+   Changed User-agent header: I saw a number of sites that forbid
+   "Mozilla compatible" browsers. Added a number of fake headers to pretend
+   this is a real web-browser - there are still stupid sites
+   that are trying to protect themselves from robots by analyzing headers.
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0
-   Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage
-managers, writers (DB dumpers/exporters) and robots.
+   Handle redirects while looking for the icon.
+
+   Handle float timeouts in HTML redirects.
+
+   Minimal required version of Python is 2.5 now.
+
+
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.0.0 (2007-10-20)
+   Extended support for Mozilla: charset and icon in bookmarks.
+   Use the charset to add Accept-Charset header.
+   Retrieve favicon.ico (or whatever <link> points to) and store it.
+
+   The project celebrates 10th anniversary!
