+Change Log for Aspic
+--------------------
+
+Version 1.05  04 March 2008
+---------------------------
+
+ 1. Tidied Makefile so that it shows only a short line for each compiled file.
+ 
+ 2. Added the -testing feature to avoid the version identification in the PS 
+    and SVG output, thus making it easier to maintain the tests.
+    
+ 3. Text strings associated with non-horizontal lines are moved 3 points to
+    the right by default - they were hitting vertical lines. Text strings 
+    associated with arcs are moved 6 points to the right by default for the 
+    same reason. 
+    
+ 4. When computing the bounding box of a picture, a rough guess at the size of
+    a string is now made, in order to take into account strings that stick out
+    out of the sides of a picture. Previously, strings were ignored when
+    computing boundinb boxes, leading to very bad values in some cases.
+    However, since Aspic doesn't actually process strings, the new code is just
+    a heuristic guess, though it seems to do a reasonable job.
+    
+ 5. SVG output was not including strings associated with invisible lines. 
+ 
+ 6. Improve vertical positioning of multiple strings when fonts of sizes
+    other than the default 12 points are used. The "textdepth" and "fontdepth"
+    parameters are now minima. When multiple lines of text are printed, if the
+    font size is greater than the textdepth setting, the larger size is used.
+    Similarly, if half the font size is greater than the fontdepth setting, it
+    is used. This is all heuristical, since Aspic doesn't really process text.
+    
+ 7. Fix some uninitialized values bugs (found by valgrind).  
+ 
+ 8. Change string character handling to recognize UTF-8 characters and 
+    encodings using the &...; mechanism.
+    
+ 9. Add the -tr option to translate quotes and en-dashes. 
+     
+
+Version 1.04  20 January 2008
+-----------------------------
+
+ 1. Fixed a bug that caused invisible boxes and ellipses not to be filled if
+    a filling colour was defined. I think the fix for 1.01 below broke it.
+      
+
+Version 1.03  09 January 2008
+-----------------------------
+
+ 1. Fixed a bug that caused the wrong colour to be used in PostScript output in
+    certain cases for items following an arrow that was associated with
+    coloured text.
+
+
+Version 1.02  26 September 2007
+-------------------------------
+
+ 1. Added the "include" facility.
+ 
+ 2. The "level" facility wasn't working properly for PostScript output. 
+ 
+ 3. Add the ability to colour text. 
+  
+
+Version 1.01  06 June 2007
+--------------------------
+
+ 1. PostScript output was going wrong for invisible boxes and lines that had
+    attached text strings.
+      
+
+Version 1.00  28 December 2004
+------------------------------
+
+ 1. Added the "redraw" facility for use with SGCAL and sgpoint.
+  
+
+Version 0.09  15 December 2004
+------------------------------
+
+ 1. Separated Aspic from the SGCAL command bundle and made it freestanding.
+    Abolished the separate configuration file, and instead implemented three
+    separate output modules for PostScript, SVG, and SGCAL output. Revised the 
+    command interface.  
+
