+- Simple, inline math is now supported in transactions.  For example:
+
+    2004/05/27 Book Store
+      Expenses:Dining                 $20.00 + $2.50
+      Liabilities:MasterCard
+
+  This won't register the tax/tip in its own account, but it might
+  make later reading of the ledger file easier.
+
+- Use of a "catch all" account is now possible, which auto-balances
+  entries that contain _only one transaction_.  For sanity's sake this
+  is not used to balance all entries, as that would make locating
+  unbalanced entries a nightmare.  Example:
+
+    A Liabilities:MasterCard
+
+    2004/05/27 Book Store
+      Expenses:Dining                 $20.00 + $2.50
+
+  This is equivalent to the entry in the previous bullet.
+
+- Further, entries with a single transaction may specify that
+  transaction directly after the payee, if followed by two or more
+  spaces:
+
+    A Liabilities:MasterCard
+
+    2004/05/27 Book Store           Expenses:Dining     $20.00 + $2.50
+
+- Entries that contain a single transaction with no amount now always
+  balance, even if multiple commodities are involved.  This means that
+  the following is now supported which wasn't previously:
+
+    2004/06/21 Adjustment
+        Retirement          100 FUNDA
+        Retirement          200 FUNDB
+        Retirement          300 FUNDC
+        Equity:Adjustments
+
+- Fixed some obscure bugs relating to QIF parsing, and budgeting and
+  forecasting.
