+
+ - BUGFIX: The proper use of PAM_SYMBOL_ERR is to indicate an invalid
+   argument to pam_[gs]et_item(3), not to indicate dlsym(3) failures.
+
+ - ENHANCE: Add in-line documentation in most source files, and a Perl
+   script that generates mdoc code from that.
+
+ - BUGFIX: The environment list was not properly NULL-terminated.
+
+ - ENHANCE: Allow the PAM_AUTHTOK_PROMPT item to override the prompt
+   specified by the module.
+
+ - BUGFIX: PAM_NUM_ITEMS was set too low.  It has been moved to
+   pam_constants.h to avoid it going stale again.
+
+ - ENHANCE: Move all code related to static modules into a separate
+   file.
+
+ - ENHANCE: openpam_ttyconv() now masks most signals while prompting the
+   user, and supports setting a timeout (which defaults to off).
+
+ - BUGFIX: Some manual pages referenced XSSO even though they
+   documented OpenPAM-specific functions.
+
+ - ENHANCE: Added openpam_get_option() and openpam_set_option().
+
+ - ENHANCE: openpam_get_authtok() now respects the echo_pass,
+   try_first_pass, and use_first_pass options.

 Known issues:
 
-  - The pam_get_user() and pam_get_authtok() functions do not check
-    for commonly used options such as {use,try}_first_pass or
-    auth_as_self.  In fact, pam_get_authtok() behaves as if
-    try_first_pass was always specified.
+  - The documentation is still incomplete.
 
-  - The provided conversation function, openpam_ttyconv(), should
-    block signals, and support some sort of timeout.
-
-  - The documentation is far from complete.
+Oh, and the previous release's code name was misspelled - egg on my
+face!  It should have been "Calliopsis".
