   * general changes:
     - 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.

       if there were dimensions after the velocity dimension: it only created

+    - 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/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.

   * packaging changes:

       auto detect whether it (sh/c)ould output its messages in color.
