 WHAT IS IT
    A set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to manipulate my
-bookmarks.html. I like Mozilla, but I need more features. I want to extend
-Mozilla's "Check for updates" feature (Navigator4 called it "Update
-bookmarks").
+bookmarks.html.
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.2
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.4.0 (2011-01-??).
 
-   Process http error 307 as a temporary redirect.
+Moved BeautifulSoup.py and subproc.py from Robots/ to the top-level directory.
 
+Moved parse_html.py and its submodules to a separate parse_html module.
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.1 (2008-03-10)
-   Catch and report all errors.
+Removed old cruft.
 
-   Consider application/xhtml+xml as HTML.
 
-   Better handling of exceptions while looking up the icon.
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.3.1 (2011-01-03).
 
-   Recode HTML entities.
+Get favicon before HTML redirect (refresh).
 
-   Always use utf-8 as the default encoding.
+Get favicon even if it's of a wrong type; many sites return favicon as
+text/plain or application/*; the only exception is text/html which is usually
+an error page instead of error 404.
 
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.0 (2008-01-14)
-   Parser for HTML based on BeautifulSoup.
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.3.0 (2011-01-01).
 
-   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.
-
-   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!
+Robots no longer have one global temporary file - there are at least two
+(html and favicon), and in the future there will be more for
+asynchronous robot(s) that will test many URLs in parallel.
