+Notes, Major Changes, and Known Bugs for 1.3
+------------------------------------
+
+* We now install the compile_et program, so other packages can use the
+  installed com_err library with their own error tables.
+
+* The header files we install now assume ANSI/ISO C ('89, not '99).
+  If you're using a pre-ANSI system, like SunOS 4, try using gcc.  In
+  fact, SunOS 4 with gcc is what we use at MIT as the oldest pre-POSIX
+  system we test against, and even that testing is fairly minimal.
+
+* Some new code, bug fixes, and cleanup for IPv6 support.  [[TODO:
+  Insert list of (non-)supporting programs and libraries here.]]

 Minor changes
 -------------
 
+* New software using com_err should use the {add,remove}_error_table
+  interface rather than init_XXX_error_table; in fact, the latter
+  function in the generate C files will now call add_error_table
+  instead of messing with unprotected global variables.
+
+  Karl Ramm has offered to look into reconciling the various
+  extensions and changes that have been made in different versions of
+  the MIT library, and the API used in the Heimdal equivalent.  No
+  timeline is set for this work.
+
+* Some source files (including some header files we install) now have
+  annotations for use with the LCLint package from the University of
+  Virginia.  LCLint, as of version 2.5q, is not capable of handling
+  much of the Kerberos code in its current form, at least not without
+  significantly restructuring the Kerberos code, but it has been used
+  in limited cases and has uncovered some bugs.  We may try adding
+  more annotations in the future.

 * The shell code for searching for the Tcl package at configure time
   has been modified.  If a tclConfig.sh can be found, the information
   it contains is used, otherwise the old searching method is tried.
