+been in the previous release.

+
+ion-3rc-20080103
+----------------
+
+This release features a few minor fixes to behavioural regressions
+in the previous release, as well as some build configuration file
+self-documentation improvements.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20071220
+----------------
+
+There are a few minor fixes in this RC, plus a major one related to
+layout restore under a session manager.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20071130
+----------------
+
+This RC features various minor fixes, and some clarifications and
+simplifications to the license, which people seem to have had trouble
+understanding.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20071109
+----------------
+
+It seems people are a bit slow, or only scaring them with a final
+release makes them report issues. So, still no stable release but
+a candidate, with many minor fixes and improvements wrt. important
+omissions. The most important changes are better behaviour of the 
+unsplit operation, better handling of main window being closed
+before a transient, and use of the workspace's working directory
+for run query file name completion.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20070927
+----------------
+
+Another attempt at last "rc" release.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20070902
+----------------
+
+This release features a few minor fixes. If no major problems are
+discovered, this is likely to be the last "rc" release before the
+first and hopefully final "stable" release.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20070720
+----------------
+
+This fourth "rc" release fixes some minor bugs and omissions in
+the previous release.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20070708
+----------------
+
+This third "rc" release again simply fixes some minor problems in 
+the previous release.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20070608
+----------------
+
+This is the second "rc" release, and contains primarily bug fixes
+and other minor improvements.
+
+
+ion-3rc-20070506
+----------------
+
+This is the first "rc" or "(stable) release candidate" release of 
+Ion3. This means that there will not be any further major changes 
+to it. Bugs will be fixed, and as an exception to the general 
+feature freeze, some hooks may still be added, if deemed useful.
+Translations may also be included. After no new bugs (that can not
+be deemed features) have been found in this or following "rc" 
+releases, the stable Ion3 will be released.
+
+Most of the changes in this release to the previous one already
+are bug fixes, in addition to some general clean-up. Other notable
+changes are:
+
+  * Winprop matching improvements: it is possible to match against
+    `is_dockapp` and `is_transient` (booleans), and there's a hack
+    to support `class` and `instance` for dockapps too.
+
+  * The default configuration puts dockapps in the statusbar's
+    tray area.
+
+  * The autoconf kludge has been removed, as I will have nothing
+    to do with it, and nobody else seems to support or maintain 
+    it either.
+
+  * Tab numbers are displayed when releasing modifiers in the
+    `Mod1+K` submap.
+
+Distributors should pay heed to the name policy notice in the
+LICENSE file.
