+Version 0.24, XX Xxx 2002 ( cvs tag libical-0-24 )
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+**** Incompatibilities with previous version ****
+
+CSTP client/server code has been removed from libicalss.
+Future versions will eventually contain a full CAP 6.0
+client/server implementation.
+
+icalproperty_get_name() is deprecated and will change
+in a future release.  Use icalproperty_get_icalproperty_name()
+instead.
+
+icalcomponent_get_span() is deprecated in this release
+because it does not handle recurring events.  See
+icalcomponent_foreach_recurrence() for an alternate
+interface.
+
+The icalproperty_remove_parameter() call is deprecated 
+because it improperly deals with extended parameters.
+See icalproperty_remove_parameter_by_kind() for a 
+compatible call.
+
+Code that deals with the TRANSPARENT property now
+uses enumeration values to get/set values instead of
+strings.
+
+The code for dealing with icalsets was overhauled.  You
+will want to use the common icalset_* routines
+directly instead of calling into the icalfileset_* or
+icaldirset_* routines.
+
+A number of routines now expect to be called with
+const arguments.  A number of routines now
+return pointers to const data.
+
+
+**** New Features ****
+
+Major cleanup of the time-handling routines.  New API is
+available that deals with timezones much more cleanly.
+
+The regression routines in src/test are much cleaner.  
+Test runs summarize which tests fail and do not
+immediately abort() like the old set of tests.  A 
+number of old, commented tests were resurrected.
+
+C++ Interface: New libraries libical_cxx.la and libicalss_cxx.la
+are build when you configure with the --enable-cxx option.
+
+Java Interface: A JNI interface to libical is build when
+you configure with the --enable-java option.
+
+Most of libical is now reentrant and thread safe.  The Lex/Yacc
+query parser is pre-built with flex 2.5.8 and bison 1.34.   To
+rebuild these files you will need to specify the --with-devel
+option.  The --enable-reentrant option also adds the -D_REENTRANT
+flag for systems that require it.  The build system attempts to
+add the pthread libraries to support a thread safe memory allocator
+and thread-safe error handling.
+
+A new storage mechanism for Berkeley DB 4.0 was contributed
+by Critical Path.  Specify the --with-bdb4 and --with-bdb4-dir
+options to enable.
+
+Embedded code comments are slowly being migrated to be
+doxygen compliant.  See http://www.doxygen.org/ for
+more on this wonderful tool. 
+
+The code should now compile with non-gcc compilers.  Certain
+parts of the autogenerated code were causing problems.  The
+code base has also been ported to the windows Visual C 
+environment.
