+### Added
+- First packaged release after over 10 years from the start of the
+  project. There have been no major API changes in this version
+  compared to the old unreleased code, but there is probably some minor
+  thing that is different. It does however require a modern JDK (1.8)
+  and Maven has replaced Ant as the build system.
