+  <p>This document describes the changes made to the Reltool system
+    from version to version. The intention of this document is to
+    list all incompatibilities as well as all enhancements and
+    bugfixes for every release of Reltool. Each release of Reltool
+    thus constitutes one section in this document. The title of each
+    section is the version number of Reltool.</p>

+                The documentation is now built with open source tools
+                (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One
+                visible change is that the HTML frames are removed.</p>

+                In the new release of Reltool (0.5) there is a severe bug
+                that may cause your source files to be deleted. The bug
+                is triggered when you generate a target system WITH
+                archive files AND your library directories are given with
+                absolute paths. (Library directories are given with the
+                ERL_LIBS environment variable or with the lib_dirs
+                configuration parameter.)</p>

+              <p>
+                Major improvements of the target system generation has
+                been performed. Now it is possible to generate a
+                relocatable target system that does not need to be
+                re-installed if it is moved to a new location. Archive
+                files are automatically generated. A detailed
+                specification of the target system can be generated
+                without actually creating the target system. Relocatable
+                escripts are put in the bin directory of the target
+                system. etc. etc.</p>
+              <p>
+                Some new functions has been introduced in the
+                <c>reltool</c> module: <c>start/1, start_link/1,
+                get_config/3, get_target_spec/1 and
+                eval_target_spec/3</c>.</p>
+              <p>
+                Some new configuration parameters has been introduced:
+                <c>profile, incl_sys_filters, excl_sys_filters,
+                incl_app_filters, excl_app_filters, incl_archive_filters,
+                excl_archive_filters, archive_opts, escript and
+                relocatable</c>.</p>
+              <p>
+                Some parameters have been obsoleted and given new
+                semantics: <c>incl_erts_dirs (incl_sys_filters),
+                excl_erts_dirs (excl_sys_filters), incl_app_dirs
+                (incl_app_filters), excl_app_dirs (excl_app_filters) and
+                escripts (escript).</c></p>
