-1.0.0-rc4 (as of yet unreleased)
-================================
+[New features/Improvements]
+* throw a RuntimeException in MirConfig.getProp(..) if the property is not
+  found. This should ease upgrading between versions when a new Config property
+  is added.
+
+[Bugfixes]
+* Add a new method to escape characters that are special characters in SQL. It
+  does a better job than the old hack in StringUtil.quote(..) which replaced
+  single quotes with the HTML representation of a single quote ('
+  I believe). The hack papered over a bug in the postgres JDBC driver which
+  makes it not recognize escaping w/ a backslash (it uses double single quotes
+  instead).
+
+[Build process]

+* remove some unused methods in the StringUtil class.

+=============================
+
+[New features/Improvements]
+* remove gratuitous uses of encodeHTML in admin templates. this speeds things
+  up.
+* make StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags handle the case when a tag is spread over
+  more that one line.
+
+
+[Bugfixes]
+* encodeHTML in admin templates shouldn't be used for the list views.
+* StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags regexps didn't ignore case.
+* do not use encodeHTML for internal comments and messageboard in the admin.
+* next link in messageboard list was broken. (link pointed to "User" module
+  instead of Message module.
+* remove unwanted tags in MediaRequest as well.
+* fix call of StringUtil.deleteForbiddenTags in
+  ServletModuleOpenIndy.insposting.
+* Fix to_topic (just to_topic, not data.to_topic) select field in
+  posting.template that prevented the chossing of a topic in openposting from
+  working. luckily this bug didn't affect most sites since most installations
+  customize the template.
+
+
+[Build process]

+[Maintenance]
+* remove debug prints in ServletModuleOpenIndy.java
+* remove lot's of no longer used source files and templates.

+=============================
+1.0.0-rc4 released 2002/12/10
+=============================
 
 [New features/Improvements]
 * set a "Cache-control", "Pragma" and "Expires" header to the http response
   in the Mir and OpenMir servlets to insure that nothing gets cached by a
   client browser.
+* Add a new config parameter: Mir.DefaultHTMLCharset to set the HTML
+  content-type charset in one place and re-use it in templates as
+  ${config.defEncoding}.
+* Allow some HTML tags in the abstract (description field) during an
+  openposting. strip out the dangerous ones like <head>, <body> and <script> as
+  well as table tags. also strip out dangerous tags from the article body
+  (content_data).
+* re-introduce smaller/better encodeHTML method to StringUtil class. make it
+  directly callable in FreeMarker templates (like the "lang" template method)
+* comment and media lists: after deleting an item, return to the same place
+  you were in the list.
 
 [Bugfixes]
+* fix content-type in response header: we were sending the Java character
+  encoding instead of the HTML one.
+* backport from the HEAD branch: fix finding out the Module Name in
+  the ServletModule base class. needed for generic routines like delete.
+* backport: don't try to free a JDBC connection in EntityImages if it is null.
+* Fix embarrassing bug in the admin interface that caused data to dissappear
+  when double quotes were in a title form field for example.. (anything
+  enclosed in a value="...")
+* fix a bug in comment search: if you were at an offset > 0, i.e not on the
+  first page, the search would be broken.
+* fix minor bug in media searching: mediafolder search setting would be reset
+  each time. make sure it is not so.
+* backport from HEAD: fix minor email address filtering bug.
 
 [Build process]
 
 [Maintenance]
+* comment out a bunch of debug logging in Database.java
+* add this file, REPORTING_BUGS, KNOWN_BUGS, CODINGSTYLE and a README file.
+* Add gnu Style ChangeLog using cvs2cl (use "-F MIR_1_0 --utc" options., for
+  HEAD, it would be "-F trunk --utc")
 
 [Notes]
+* you'll need to add the new "Mir.DefaultHTMLCharset" config option to your
+  config.properties file. see config.properties-dist
