--- CHANGES SINCE RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 -------------------------------------------
+-- CHANGES SINCE RELEASE CANDIDATE 2 ----------------------------------
 
- - Fixed bug in the tray code causing 9x/ME to crash (many thanks to Clint
-   Foster who tracked this down)
+ - Fixed XP logon delay (many, many thanks to Nicolas Escuder)
 
- - No more error message on startup if iernonce.dll (RunOnceEx support) doesn't
-   exist, this may happen on Win95 setups
+ - Fixed Logitech QuickSwitch closing LiteStep on middleclick
 
- - Fixed version resource reporting 0.2.4.7 instead of 0.24.7.0
+ - TrayService now preserves NIM_SETVERSION and NIM_SETFOCUS return
+   values
 
- - Fixed a small memory leak in the DDEService
+ - STLport no longer necessary to compile or use Litestep
 
- - The !Run implementation is less prone to crash
+ - Various minor fixes
 
- - Fixed potential buffer overflows in !alert, !confirm, !unloadmodule, and
-   !reloadmodule
 
- - Fixed fileparser stopping parse process if the first token on a non-comment
-   line was longer than 63 characters
+-- FINAL WORDS --------------------------------------------------------
 
- - Made a few APIs more robust (less likely to crash if bad parameters are
-   passed)
+ Thanks to the LiteStep Community for all the positive feedback and
+ support; and for the endless patience. It has taken a long time, but
+ we may yet see a Final Release.
 
- - Fixed LCOpen not returning NULL if file doesn't exist
-
- - Added new step.rc setting "LSTrayService". "LSTrayService FALSE" disables
-   the core's system tray support. Defaults to TRUE. Most useful if LS is run
-   ontop of other shells that implement their own tray.
