+Changes in version 0.4
+======================
+
+Released on 2013/12/07.
+
+* Cope with the lack of AM_PROG_AR in configure.ac, which first
+  appeared in Automake 1.11.2.  Fixes a problem in Ubuntu 10.04
+  LTS, which appears stuck in 1.11.1.
+
+* Stopped shipping an Atffile.  The only supported way to run the tests
+  is via Kyua.
+
+Interface changes:
+
+* Issue 5: New methods added to the state class: open_all.
+
+* Removed default parameter values from all state methods and all
+  standalone operations.  It is often unclear what the default value is
+  given that it depends on the specific Lua operation.  Being explicit
+  on the caller side is clearer.
+
+* Modified operations do_file and do_string to support passing a number
+  of arguments to the loaded chunks and an error handler to the backing
+  pcall call.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.3
+======================
+
+Released on 2013/06/14.
+
+* Issue 1: Added support for Lua 5.2 while maintaining support for Lua
+  5.1.  Applications using Lutok can be modified to use the new
+  interface in this new version and thus support both Lua releases.
+  However, because of incompatible changes to the Lua API, this release
+  of Lutok is incompatible with previous releases as well.
+
+* Issue 3: Tweaked configure to look for Lua using the pkg-config names
+  lua-5.2 and lua-5.1.  These are the names used by FreeBSD.
+
+Interface changes:
+
+* New global constants: registry_index.
+
+* New methods added to the state class: get_global_table.
+
+* Removed global constants: globals_index.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.2
+======================
+
+Released on 2012/05/30.
+
+* New global constants: globals_index.
+
+* New methods added to the state class: get_metafield, get_metatable,
+  insert, push_value, raw_get and raw_set.
+
+* Acknowledged that Lua 5.2 is currently not supported.
+
+
+Changes in version 0.1
+======================
+
+Released on 2012/01/29.
+
+* This is the first public release of the Lutok package.
