 A memory leak in treefree() was plugged up --- the root node of a
 function was not getting freed.
+
+Changes since rc-1.4:
+
+General changes:
+
+        Some small memory leaks/uninit references revealed by Purify.
+
+        $bqstatus for querying the exit status of a backquote.
+
+        Globbing through unreadable directories.
+
+        More options to whatis.
+
+        History append which always re-opens the file (avoids
+        inconsistencies over multiple NFS-mounted accesses to
+        $history).
+
+        Support "rc -s".
+
+---------
+
+Makefile:	Added comment referring to README for yacc/malloc problem.
+
+uiltins.c:	Added more options to whatis, protected rlimit prototypes
+		with #ifndef SYSVR4, renamed SIGCHK to sigchk.
+
+except.c:	Patched nl_on_intr printing to happen only in interactive
+		shells.
+
+exec.c:		Added comment explaining nl_on_intr variable, renamed SIGCHK
+		to sigchk.
+
+fn.c:		Replaced by-hand consing of exception stack etc. for signal
+		handler execution with call to funcall(). Replaced fun2str
+		call with call on print routines.
+
+footobar.c:	Got rid of memory leak in get_name(), parenthesize count,
+		flat and var nodes for correctness in unparsing, removed
+		list2str, made get_name use nalloc space, merge in a
+		better parse_var from es.
+
+glob.c:		Split out a test so that closedir is called correctly, renamed
+		SIGCHK to sigchk.
+
+glom.c:		Added bqstatus, renamed SIGCHK to sigchk, removed spurious
+		setsigdefaults, patched uninit memory reference, rename
+		"clear" to "memzero", wait for bq subproc to finish on EINTR.
+
+hash.c:		Added options to function/variable print code.
+
+history/history.c: Added '@' to the list of chars which can precede an
+		ignored '-'.
+
+input.c:	Got rid of tiny memory leak in closefds, got rid of uninit
+		memory reference in popinput, moved nul ignored check into
+		realgchar(), changed history append to always reopen the
+		history file, replaced SIGCHK with sigchk. Freed memory
+		returned by call to readline().
+
+lex.c:		Corrected typo in comment, moved nul character ignore code
+		to input routines.
+
+main.c:		Added -s flag.
+
+nalloc.c:	Added convenience feature to erealloc. (Allow NULL parameter)
+
+print.c:	Changed use of va_start so broken compilers can compile
+		print code.
+
+proto.h:	Added fake memset.
+
+rc.h:		Replaced clear() function prototype with a macro call on
+		memset(), removed SIGCHK, fixed prototypes.
+
+signal.c:	Removed unconditional exit in catcher code, renamed SIGCHK
+		to sigchk.
+
+status.c:	Rewrite sgetstatus breaking out strstatus so that bqstatus
+		can be set from glom routines.
+
+utils.c:	Got rid of clear() (use memset from C library), rename SIGCHK
+		to sigchk.
+
+var.c:	 	Got rid of memory leak in listassign(), converted list2str()
+		call to something using the print routines.
+
+version.c:	New version string.
+
+wait.c:		Got rid of memory leak in rc_fork, renamed SIGCHK to sigchk.
+
+walk.c:		Fixed pre-redirection bug, removed spurious setsigdefaults(),
+		renamed SIGCHK to sigchk.
