                     Bookmarks Database and Internet Robot
 
 WHAT IS IT
-   There is a set of classes, libraries, programs and plugins I use to
-manipulate my bookmarks.html. I like Netscape Navigator, but I need more
-features, so I write and maintain these programs for my needs. I need to
-extend Navigator's "What's new" feature (Navigator 4 calls it "Update
+   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").
 
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.2
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 3.4.0
-   Updated to m_lib version 1.2. Extended support for Mozilla.
+   Process http error 307 as a temporary redirect.
 
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 3.3.2
-   parse_html.py can now recode unicode entities in titles.
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.1 (2008-03-10)
+   Catch and report all errors.
 
+   Consider application/xhtml+xml as HTML.
 
-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 object is
-also parsed to extract <META> tag with redirect.
+   Better handling of exceptions while looking up the icon.
 
+   Recode HTML entities.
 
-WHAT'S NEW in version 3.0
-   Complete rewrite from scratch. Created mechanism for pluggable storage
-managers, writers (DB dumpers/exporters) and robots.
+   Always use utf-8 as the default encoding.
 
 
-WHERE TO GET
-   Master site: http://phd.pp.ru/Software/Python/#bookmarks_db
+WHAT'S NEW in version 4.1.0 (2008-01-14)
+   Parser for HTML based on BeautifulSoup.
 
-   Faster mirrors: http://phd.by.ru/Software/Python/#bookmarks_db
-      http://phd2.chat.ru/Software/Python/#bookmarks_db
+   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.

+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.
 
-TODO
-   Parse downloaded file and get some additional information out of headers
-   and parsed data - title, for example. Or redirects using <META HTTP-Equiv>.
-   (Partially done - now extracting title).
+   The project celebrates 10th anniversary!
 
-   Documentation.
 
-   Merge "writers" to storage managers.
-   New storage managers: shelve, SQL, ZODB, MetaKit.
-   Robots (URL checkers): threading, asyncore-based.
-   Aliases in bookmarks.html.
