+## v1.2.0   (14th September 2008)
+
+ * The license has been changed to the ISC license.
+ * Support for compiling with gcc coverage options and running tests in
+   valgrind.
+ * All headers now have extern "C" definitions for use in C++ programs.
+ * Trie free function uses a non-recursive algorithm to avoid the possibility
+   of stack overflow.
+
+Test suite:
+ * Framework added for testing memory allocation/free.
+ * Tests have been fixed to properly free any memory allocated during
+   execution of the test.
+ * Tests have been expanded to increase the code coverage.
+ * A test case has been added for testing use of the program in C++
+   programs.
+
+Bugs fixed:
+ * Memory leak in hash table.
+ * Bugs with the AVL tree.
+ * Trie responds to out of memory scenarios correctly.
+
+## v1.1.0   (1st June 2008)
+
+ * Added data structures:
+   - Binary Heap
+   - Binomial Heap
+   - Bloom Filter
+ * Iterator functions changed to a model based around an iterator structure
+   rather than callback functions.
+ * Void pointers used for keys/values replaced by typedefs to void pointers.
+   This allows the type to be changed to something else if desired.
+ * Hash table sizes changed to use a set of recommended prime numbers that are
+   mathematically good for use in hash tables:
+     http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/GoodHashTablePrimes.html
+ * Tests added for some code that was not covered by the test suite.
+ * Failed malloc() calls are now checked for.
+ * Bugs fixed:
+   - Lockup with set_remove function.
+   - set_to_array did not include all values.
+
+## v1.0.0   (30th January 2006)
+
+First release.
