 Version SVN trunk
   * general changes:
-    - removed 2GB limitation when loading a gig or DLS file
+    - removed 2 GB limitation when loading a gig or DLS file
+    - using now native integer size where appropriate
+    - fixed minor issues with man pages (patch by Debian maintainer)
+    - fixed various spelling mistakes (patch by Debian maintainer)
+    - Added new "Serialization" framework (and equally named namespace)
+      which allows to serialize and deserialize native C++ objects
+      in a portable, easy and flexible way.
 
-  * src/gig.cpp:
+  * src/gig.cpp, src/gig.h:
     - fixed bug in Script::SetGroup: the script chunk wasn't moved
     - fixed compilation error with clang 3.4
+    - GIG FORMAT EXTENSION: added support for saving gig file larger than 4 GB
+      as one single monolithic gig file. In case .gig file is >= 2GB expect a
+      large monolithic file, otherwise if .gig file is < 2 GB check for
+      "extension" files (.gx01, .gx02, ...) instead.
+    - fixed Region::UpdateUpdateVelocityTable() which did not work correctly
+      if there were dimensions after the velocity dimension: it only created
+      valid velocity tables for cases of dimensions lower than the velocity
+      dimension.
+    - added new method Sample::VerifyWaveData() which allows to check whether
+      a sample had been damaged for some reason
+    - Fix: samples' CRC checksums were damaged on file structure changes.
+    - Fix: samples' CRC checksums were misordered when a Sample was deleted.
+    - Added new method Sample::GetWaveDataCRC32Checksum().
+    - Changed default value of EG2Release (filter release time) to 60s.
+    - Instruments' default pitch bend range is now +-2 semi tones.
+    - Fixed CRC checksums being wrong sometimes.
+    - Fix: method File::AddContentOf() did not clone script groups and scripts
+      of passed original file.
+    - Added support for serializing & deserializing DimensionRegion
+      objects (and crossfade_t and leverage_ctrl_t objects).
+
+  * src/DLS.cpp, src/DLS.h:
+    - Sample: wave pool offsets are now 64 bits (to allow support for files
+      larger than 4 GB).
+      
+  * src/RIFF.cpp, src/RIFF.h:
+    - added support for RIFF files larger than 4 GB, by default the required
+      internal RIFF file offset size is automatically detected (that is RIFF
+      files < 4 GB automatically use 32 bit offsets while files >= 4 GB
+      automatically use 64 bit offsets), a particular offset size can be forced
+      with a new option added to the RIFF File constructor though
+    - when saving a modified, grown RIFF file, the temporary file size during
+      Save() operation will no longer be larger than the final grown file size
+
+  * src/Serialization.cpp, src/Serialization.h:
+    - Archive: Added method isModified().
+    - Archive: Added method setAutoValue().
+    - Archive: Added method setIntValue().
+    - Archive: Added method setRealValue().
+    - Archive: Added method setBoolValue().
+    - Archive: Added method setEnumValue().
+    - Archive: Added method valueAsString().
+    - Archive::rawData(): Automatically re-encode new raw data stream if
+      archive had been modified (i.e. by remove(), setAutoValue(), etc.).
+    - Object: Added method memberByUID().
+    - Object: remove() method is now protected.
+    - Archive: Added method removeMember().
+    - Archive: Added methods name() and setName().
+    - Archive: Added methods comment() and setComment().
+    - Archive: Added methods timeStampCreated(), timeStampModified(),
+      dateTimeCreated() and dateTimeModified().
 
   * src/tools/akaidump.cpp, src/tools/akaiextract.cpp:
     - improved output of non-ascii characters in usage messages

     - fixed c++11 narrowing warnings
     - fixed fine tuning which was not translated at all
 
+  * src/tools/gigdump.cpp:
+    - additionally print VelocityUpperLimit and DimensionUpperLimits of all
+      dimension regions
+    - additionally print RIFF chunk file offset and RIFF chunk size of sample
+      data
+    - added and implemented new parameter "--verify" which allows to check
+      the raw wave form data integrity of all samples
+    - added and implemented new parameter "--rebuild-checksums" which allows
+      to recalculate the CRC32 checksum of all samples' raw wave data and
+      rebuilding the gig file's global checksum table (i.e. in case the
+      file's checksum table was damaged)
+    - print samples' CRC32 checksums
+
+  * src/tools/gigextract.cpp:
+    - Fix: if sample name contains a path separator (slash or backslash) then
+      replace them by a minus sign to avoid file system issues.
+
+  * src/tools/gig2stereo.cpp:
+    - Also merge mono sample pairs with non matching loop information if
+      argument --incompatible was given.
+
+  * packaging changes:
+    - Automake: set environment variable GCC_COLORS=auto to allow GCC to
+      auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.

 Version 4.0.0 (14 Jul 2015)

     - minor Makefile fix for parallel make
