+ 0.2::
+ * Updated bcfg2 to 0.8.2pre7
+ * Updated README to point to mcs.anl.gov resources
+
+ 0.3::
+ * Updated bcfg2 to 0.8.2pre10
+
+ 0.4::
+ * Versions before this version won't work without manually fixing paths
+ * Added patches so paths actually exist, specifically:
+   * bcfg2.conf default location is /usr/local/etc
+   * epkg/encap paths changed to encap default /usr/local paths
+   * schema prefix patch (changeset 1953) applied
+   * default schema prefix changed to /usr/local/lib/bcfg2
+ * Added mirror of all packages downloaded by the profiles at 
+   http://www.pobox.com/users/dclark/mirror and made mirror default for
+   those downloads
+   * Set up automatic hourly mirror of bcfg2 ftp site *.tar.gz files
+   * Mirror of other packages is manual (but deps shouldn't change often)
+
+ 0.5::
+ * Removed external download of patches as that was not working consistantly;
+   replaced with patches inline the bcfg2 .profile
+ * Added GNU patch dependancy, both for bcfg2 patches and call from Cfg.py
+ * Fixed bcfg-repo-validate so it can find xmllint (as b2xmllint)
+ 
+ 0.6::
+ * Updated bcfg2 to 0.8.2 (released version)
+ * Removed r1953 patch from bcfg2 .profile, since that is included in 0.8.2
