		  Some minor additional changes since 1.3.
		  Includes doslib & ARexx support.

31 jan. 1998	- 2nd public release of version 1.4
		  Some minor changes. Included patches.
		  (version 1.5 is in beta).

(1.4 is no longer supported)


6 jun. 1998	- Release 1.5.1 build number 8
		  1st public release of version 1.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	*SOURCE:*
	- Major piece of work: based on new 1.5.1 sources


20 jun. 1998	- Release 1.5.1 build number 10
		  Patch release for 1.5.1 #8.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	- Fixes memory allocation bugs. 


14 nov. 1998	- Release 1.5.1 build number 14
		  2nd public release of version 1.5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	- Import filename is now case sensitive.
	- amiga module now has crc32 function.
	- Dos/Doslib python module has more functions.
	- Revamped Workbench support. Now it is possible to provide
	  script arguments in the tooltypes, and better support for
	  data files with a Python icon.
	- Some minor changes and additions in the docs.
	- Changed email address and AmigaPython homepage.
		  
	*SOURCE:*
	- Added import filename case check in Python/import.c
	- Added crc32 function in amiga module.
	- Added various things to Dos/Doslib module:
	  GetProgramDir, GetProgramName, Inhibit, SetFileDate, SetOwner,
	  Info, AddBuffers, AssignAdd, AssignRemove, touch.
	- Added 'magic tooltypes' in Amiga/wbargs.c
	- Fixed exception handling bug in site-python/ARexx.py.
	- Fixed typo ('if'->'elif') in os.py.
	- Changed `doslib' to `Doslib' and `arexxll' to `ARexxll'.


13 dec. 1998	- Release 1.5.1 build number 15
		  Patch release for 1.5.1 #14.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	*SOURCE:*
	- Fixes message variables bug in arexxll.


28 apr. 1999	- Release 1.5.1 build number 18
		  (last 1.5.1 version - going to 1.5.2)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	- Added I-Net225 version as a separate download (beta!)
	- Created lib/lib-dynload directory to help parse for 'exec_prefix' -
	  the warnings 'can't find... consider setting $PYTHONHOME' when
	  starting Python from a different location than Python: should be
	  mostly gone. (The small enhancements to the 'getfullpath' function
	  in the source code help too, see below).
	- time.strftime() is now more conforming, but it still doesn't pass
	  the test :-(

	*SOURCE:*
	- Moved a bunch of #defines to Include/config.h
	- Fixed nonfatal bugs in Modules/getpath.c (getfullpath and
	  calculate_path)
	- Enhanced getfullpath in Modules/getpath.c
	- Removed unused files from Amiga/
	- Added support for I-Net225 throughout the source tree.
	  (this involved changes to about 20 sourcefiles and a new SMAKEFILE
	  and SCOPTIONS). By using the correct SMAKEFILE and SCOPTIONS an
	  AmiTCP version or I-Net225 version can be build.
	- Added configuration options to the ARexx.py and arexxll modules:
	  setstringmsgs and settokenizeline.
	- Added 'Embed' demo on how to embed Python in your own programs.
	- Added strftime implementation in Amiga/ which is more conforming
	  to the standard than SAS/C's own version is. Sadly, it still
	  doesn't pass the test.test_strftime.
	- Now includes a demo on how to embed Python in your own programs.


30 apr. 1999	- Release 1.5.2 build number 1
		  First 1.5.2 release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	- Based on official 1.5.2 sources and library.

	*SOURCE:*
	- Switched to large data model (DATA=FARONLY). This makes the code
	  bigger & slower, but I can no longer compile AmigaPython with
	  the near data model (it has too much near data).
