+This file documents the major additions and syntax changes between releases.
+
+?? ??
+        Reduced number of DNS lookups in check_ping and netutils.c for IPv6 configurations
+        Fixed compile problems with *BSD re: alloca.h
+        Fixed Solaris problems with check_swap (tested on Solaris 9)
+        Fixed check_swap for HP/UX where swapinfo command was incorrect
+        Fixed check_disk inode threshold checks, regressed at r1.4.4.
+        Fixed crit/warn for check_disk perf data
+        Fixed buffer overflow in check_procs
+        Fixed error handling for UNIX sockets in netutils.c
+        Synced with latest GNUlib
+
+1.4.5
+        Fixed bug in perl's is_hostname routine
+
+1.4.4
+        New C based check_ntp. The perl version is now deprecated.
+        New check_apt plugin
+        Notice: plugins in contrib/ will start to be removed from this distribution.
+          Please check at http://www.nagiosexchange.org for contributed plugins
+        Major bug fixes to check_disk where values were incorrectly calculated and alerted on.
+        check_udp2 removed. check_udp is now linked to check_tcp.c
+        check_mailq now errors if the sub-program run returns non-zero return code. This would appear
+          as if mailqs were okay when the nagios user could not query the mail-queues
+        Compile problems with check_snmp fixed
+
+1.4.3
+        Setuid plugins (check_dhcp, check_icmp) separated into plugins-root/. Run make install as root to install
+        SSL plugins work with gnutls as well as OpenSSL
+        check_mysql_query added to run arbitrary SQL commands, with threshold checking
+        libtool now required for development systems
+        Notice: check_udp (compiled from check_udp.c) will be deprecated in the next release. 
+          check_udp2 should be used instead and will be renamed to check_udp
+
+1.4.2
+        Fix for Redhat ES4 for check_dns and check_dig
+
+1.4
+        IPv6 support in check_ping, check_by_ssh, check_http, check_ldap, check_smtp, check_tcp
+        Internationalisation support
+        Performance data added to most plugins
+        check_disk now using GNU coreutils code
+        New plugins - check_dhcp, check_icmp
+        contrib/check_citrix has been replaced by contrib/check_ica* (requires packet_utils.pm in libexec)
+        check_http --min changed to --pagesize, added max so min:max in check
+        check_vsz and check_rss deprecated - functionality moved into check_procs
+        check_swap % thresholds changed to measure amount free, instead of amount used
+        check_disk syntax changes for -p, -m/-M, defaults to MB instead of kB
+        check_procs -C expects no path for the command name
