+The following fix was made in 4.0 since 4.0 Release Candidate :
+
+	* _threads.h/_config.h : for all platforms, static mutexes made non-indirect
+
+	* _iterator_base.h : made possible to choose between iterator_traits approach
+	  and old-style iterator queries like iterator_category(), value_type(), etc. 
+	  (Thanks to John R. Bandela for pointing this out)
+	* _config.h, stl_user_config.h : introduced __STL_OLD_HP_ITERATOR_QUERIES switch to
+	  allow old-style and new-style iterator queries (for all compilers). 
+	  iterator_traits<> made always defined. 
+
+	* _ptr_specialize.h - specializations of type_traits<> for compilers w/o partial spec
+	  moved into separate file. Added iterator_traits<> specializations for pointer types
+	  for __STL_NO_OLD_HP_ITERATOR_QUERIES case. Macro __STL_POINTERS_SPECIALIZE is now available
+	  to specialize both type_traits and iterator_traits for a pointer to user-defined 
+	  type (latter for standard-style iterator queries mode only)
+
+	* vc5.mak : __STL_NO_FORCE_INSTANTIATE flag restored
+
+	* _site_config.h : if __STL_NO_NEW_IOSTREAMS or __STL_NO_IOSTREAMS specified, 
+	 SGI iostreams are being turned off. __STL_NO_SGI_IOSTREAMS moved into stl_user_config.h
+	(Thanks to Sathish T C for the report)

+	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/28.
+
+	* Fixed bug with istream reading numbers in hex mode (thanks to Dave Abrahams
+	  for the patch).
+
+	* Debug mode redesigned (again) - no extra namespaces is being used
+	  Finally, it works for MSVC and all other platforms.
+
+	* __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS made to be the default mode except few platforms
+	  not provided with makefiles to build STLport yet.
+	
+	* Changed strategy on redefinig std:: namespace. 
+	  prolog/epilog technology used to get clean namespace wrapping.
+	  It also allows for managing stack of pragmas 
+	  (see stlport/stl/config/_prolog.h,_epilog.h) to get rid of warnings.
+	  Note : default namespace changed to _STL:: to satisfy implementation
+	  constraints and to allow for more compact symbols. 
+	  "stlport::" namespace is still defined for backwards compatibility.
+
+	* iostreams library now compiles on HP with aCC (thanks to Steven Serocki for the patch).
+
+	* Configuration for SUN Workshop 6.0 EA provided.
+	
+	* For VC++, corresponding [selected by /MT(d) or /MD(d) switch]
+	  STLport iostreams library is being linked automatically - all you
+	  need is to put library in lib search path or specify additional library path.
+
+	* Ability to turn on all warnings in your own code if you're using 
+	  a compiler with appropriate support (e.g. MSVC6).
+	  
+	* Small fixes posted to the forum integrated:
+	
+	 * config/stl_wince.h : added __STL_HAS_NO_NEW_C_HEADERS switch
+	 * wrap_std/strsream  : fixed preprocessor bug, strstream.h included
+	  when not using new-style headers
+	 * other fixes
+	
+The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 4 since 3.2.2 Beta 3:
+
+	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot on 01/10.
+
+	* Major restructuring of header files - for maintainability and
+	  8.3 filesystems benefit.
+
+	* Major debug mode improvements - new debug mode now works with
+	 VC++, gcc, intel, SUNpro, MetroWerks.
+
+	* Regression test suite changed to new-style headers - thanks to
+	  Dima Pasechnik for the initial port.
+	
+	* <rope> fixes for Watcom
+
+	* many miscellanous fixes.
+	
+The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 3 since 3.2.2 Beta 2:
+
+	* Merged changes made to SGI standard library snapshot in December.
+	
+	* std:: is not used for STLport namespace even with SGI iostreams,
+	  to avoid possible clashes and facilitate 3rd-party library use.
+          Same macro redefinition technique for stlport:: used to keep clients
+	  code with literal std:: happy as in native iostreams mode.
+	
+	* C library headers wrapping changed to allow multiple inclusion tricks
+	  (needed by gcc-2.95 mostly)
+	
+	* gcc-2.95 and CodeWarrior configurations updated.
+
+	* HP aCC fixes applied.
+
+	* Visual C++ - added static library targets, build refined.
+	  Fixed memory-mapping bugs.
+	
+	* auto_ptr updated, now it passes polymorphic tests with VC++.
+
+	* Many small bugfixes.
+	
+The following changes were made in 3.2.2 beta 2 since 3.2.2 Beta 1:
+
+	* Fixed SUN CC deque<> problem with -g
+	
+	* Added configuration and makefiles for DEC VMS, Borland and Win32 gcc.
+
+	* Merged changes made to November SGI standard library snapshot.
+
+	* config changes - "configure" made obsolete and moved into "stlport/config/new_compiler".
+
+	* __STL_TYPENAME_ON_RETURN_TYPE handling changed.
+	
+	* Miscellanous fixes.
+
+The following changes were made in 3.2.2 Beta 1 since 3.2.1 release:
+
+	* SGI iostreams adopted. To use SGI iostreams, user have to set
+	  __SGI_STL_OWN_IOSTREAMS flag and to build the library in "src"
+	  directory to link with. Please read INSTALL file for detailed
+	  instructions.
+	  Default setting is NOT to use SGI iostreams (wrappers used as before).
+
+	* Debug mode completely redesigned - debug mode containers are 
+	  implemented in terms of wrappers around non-debug ones.
+	  That provides for more clean and efficient implementation and
+	  binary compatibility between debug and non-debug versions.
+
+	* Additional configurations added for platforms :
+	     - gcc-2.95
+	     - SUNpro CC 5.0 in "compatibility" mode
+	  "configure" made obsolete.
+	
+	* Bugfixes reported by users since 3.2.1 release merged 
+
+The following changes were made in 3.2.1 since 3.2 release:
+
+	* Now, by default, STLPort renames std:: namespace for user
+	  if __STL_USE_OWN_NAMESPACE is used. To make it possible, many new
+	  wrapper headers introduced. Internally, STLport uses stlport:: namespace,
+	  so no link- or run- time clashes are possible, and you don't have to rebuild
+	  the runtime lib (which you don't want to).
+	  This feature makes STLport usable out-of-the box, without any modifications
+	  for client code, with any compiler.
+
+	* Code bloat reduction : hashtable<T> uses vector<void*> internally.
+
+	* Vector : efficiency/code bloat reduction fixes.
+
+	* Visual C++ : DLL export is supported for allocators and strings. To use it, 
+	  please define __STL_USE_DECLSPEC in all modules and __STL_DESIGNATED_DLL
+	  for the DLL which is supposed to instantiate STLport exports (at least one
+	  source of this DLL must include <string>.
+
+        * Visual C++ : for MT synchronization, <windows.h> is not included anymore.
+	
+	* For Sunpro C++ 5.0 : all headers are linked into stlport/SC5, so only
+	  one include path is needed. Note that SC5.0 has problems with relative 
+	  search path. It is easy to work around : in your makefiles, instead of
+	  "STL_INCL=../.." , write "STL_INCL=${PWD}/../..".
+
+	* Configuration files provided for compilers : 
+	   KAI C++
+	   DEC C++ (6.x, 5.x)
+	   Borland 5.02 is back on the road (finally !)
+	  
+	* Windows CE config provided for Visual C++.
+
+	* __STL_NO_IOSTREAMS switch introduced for embedded platforms.
+	
+	* Lots of minor config fixes and improvements for various platforms.
