+Skencil 0.6.18 ()
+================================
+
+ * Prepare for Python 2.5:
+
+   * The extension modules now use the Python memory allocation API
+     consistently.  Without this change, Skencil would crash with Python
+     2.5.
+
+   * Adapt paxtkinter to changes in Python's id function
+
+ * Some more Python 2.4 related fixes:
+
+   * The C-code assumed that the LC_NUMERIC locale was effectively "C"
+     which Pyton versions prior to 2.4 practically guaranteed.
+     Skencil's C-code now sets the locale temporarily to "C" when
+     parsing numbers.
+
+ * The User's Guide and the Developer's Guide have been converted to
+   docbook.
+
+ * The "Convert to Curve" command is now available whenever it can be
+   applied to at least one of the selected objects
+
+ * setup.py now patches the first line of scripts so that they refer to
+   the Python interpreter used for installation.  This is usually what
+   one wants and it makes packaging easier.
+
+ * setup.py has a new option, --libdir, to indicate where library files
+   are to be installed to help packagers.
