+===========================================================================
+
+This file contains the main features as well as overviews of specific
+bug fixes (and other actions) for each version of PLPA since
+version 1.0.
+
+1.3.2
+-----
+
+- Removed a clause from AMD's license notice in plpa_map.c by
+  direction from Barry S. Newberger, Ph.D., Assistant General Counsel,
+  Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. per a Red Hat licensing concern
+  (initiated at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=530230).
+  Removing this clause alleviates Red Hat's concern, even though this
+  resolution not shown on the above-cited bugzilla ticket.
+- Julian Seward noticed that PLPA's use of the Valgrind API in the
+  affinity API probe was incorrect and suggested an improvement.  Even
+  though we're ramping down PLPA development, I couldn't really ignore
+  the Valgrind author's suggestion!
+
+
+1.3.1
+-----
+
+- Fixed bug identified by Eugene Loh at Sun; plpa-taskset -c ranges
+  were accidentally excluding the processor ID at the top of the
+  range.
+- For standalone PLPA builds, the .so library is now versioned
+  according to the GNU Libtool guidelines.
+
+
+1.3
+---
+
+- Added --with-valgrind support that allows building support for
+  Valgrind into PLPA (i.e., tell Valgrind to not warn about things
+  that we know are ok).
+
+
+1.2
+---
+
+- Allow mapping from simple/contiguous processor, socket, and core
+  numbers to the corresponding back-end Linux ID (and clean up
+  documentation references between "X number" and "X ID", where X is
+  one of processor, socket, core).
+- Support CPU hot plugging.
+- Add explicit control over the PLPA topology information cache.
+
+
+1.1.1
+-----
+
+- Ensure that --enable-included also disables executables by default.
+  Thanks to Brian Curtis for identifying the problem and supplying a
+  patch.
+- Add ENABLE_EXECUTABLES m4 macro to allow behavior in m4
+  configuration analogous to "--enable-included --enable-executables".
+
+
+1.1
+---
+
+- New command: plpa-taskset.  It is intended as a drop-in replacement
+  for the "taskset" command, except it also understands sockets and
+  cores.  See "plpa-taskset --help" for more details
+- Renamed "plpa_info" to "plpa-info".
+- Added PLPA_{MAJOR|MINOR|RELEASE}_VERSION integer macros in plpa.h.
+  This release, they have the values of 1, 1, and 0, respectively.
+- Add new API functions to map from (socket,core) back and forth from
+  the Linux virtual processor ID.  Thanks to AMD for the initial code
+  contribution that made this possible.  See the documentation for
+  plpa_map_to_processor_id() as a starting point for more
+  information.
+- Various fixes to "included" mode.
+
+
+1.0.5
+-----
+
+- Fix an issue where the PLPA get/set affinity functions would only
+  operate on the current process; the PID argument to these functions
+  was effectively ignored.
+
+
+1.0.4
+-----
+
+- Fix some 64 bit issues.  Thanks to David Creasy for reporting the
+  problems.
+- Fix plpa.h to be C++-friendly.  Thanks to Emmanuel Paris for
+  pointing out this problem.
+
+
+1.0.3
+-----
+
+- Resolve some sizing / units ambiguities that mistakenly did not make
+  it into 1.0.1.  Thanks to Bert Wesarg for pointing these problems out.
+
+
+1.0.2
+-----
+
+- Ensure that plpa_sched_[set|get]affinity() returns 0 upon success.
+  Thanks to David Creasy for bringing this to our attention.
+
+
+1.0.1
+-----
+
+- Specify that cpusetsize should be in units of bytes and add some
+  missing "* 8"'s in plpa_dispatch.c.
+
+
+1.0
+---
+
+- Initial release.
+
+
+0.9a2
+-----
+
+- Change the back-end type of the plpa_bitmask_t to unsigned long
+  instead of unsigned char to avoid an endian problem.
+- No longer attempt to set the affinity in plpa_api_probe() to avoid a
+  possible race condition (setting it after getting it).
+- Fix PLPA_CPU_ZERO macro.  Thanks to Bogdan Costescu for pointing
+  this out.
+
+
+0.9a1
+-----
+
+Initial public release.
