+Version 3.0.9 - May 1996, by Greg McGary
+
+* The package name has been changed from `mkid' to `id-utils', and is now
+ officially a part of GNU.
+
+* Command-line arguments have been revised to conform with GNU standards.
+ Each command now processes --help and --version long arguments.
+
+* The texinfo manual is out-of-date. Please use the `--help' option for
+ correct information about command-line arguments. I'll work on updating
+ it tonight.
+
+* `mkid' and `idx' use a file-tree walker. Give them one or more directory
+ names on the command-line, and they'll recursively descend looking for
+ source files. lib/language.map (installe as $(prefix)/share/language.map)
+ contains patterns for mapping file names to the appropriate language scanner.
+
+* id-utils now uses automake.
+
+* gid, aid and eid are now shell-script wrappers that
+ call `lid' with the apropriate argument.
+
+* A new environment `IDPATH' contains a colon-separated list of ID ID file
+ names for use by `fid' and `lid'. It is only partially implemented at
+ this time only the first ID file is actually handled, the rest are
+ ignored.
+
+* pid is temporarily gone, but will reappear soon.
+
+* iid has been removed from the distribution.
+
+* Support for non-ANSI compilers is broken. Don't expect it to work.
+ If you use gcc, all will be well.
+
+* Miscellaneous bugs are fixed.
