0.7.1 (Jan 29, 2009):
	Finally, for bug tracking, Artha is registered in LaunchPad! A 'Report a Bug' button is kept 
	on the About dialog for easy user access. After reading the dbus API docs, came to know that 
	using GLib bindings API is the right way. Hence changed the low-level dbus call to dbus-GLib 
	call to initialize threads in dbus.

0.7.0 (Jan 23, 2009):
	Since the help is yet to be created, a message box is put for first runs and hot key changes, 
	so as to notify the user. Instead of sticking to Ctrl + Alt + W, 3 more hot key tries are 
	added to the list. Artha tries to set them one by one. If none are available, summoning and 
	notifications are disabled.

0.6.5:
	Last set user's preferences (mode & notifications) will now be stored in a .conf file in the 
	user's config. directory. gtk_show_uri's availability now found in run-time, so that version 
	2.12 of libgtk is now enough to run/build Artha, instead of 2.14.

0.6.4:
	'Attributes' tab will now get renamed dynamically based on the term. E.g. for 'tall' it gets 
	renamed to 'Attribute of' & for 'height' it gets renamed to 'Attributes'. Applications menu 
	shortcut will now get created for Artha under Accessories, implemented with .desktop file.
0.6.3:
	Finally, a bare bones man page is added to the dist! :) gtk_show_uri(), which is present since 
	GTK+ 2.14, is required for email/url hooks in About screen, all other functions used will build 
	againt 2.12. Hence I created a macro using autoconf. If compiled against libgtk 2.14 or greater, 
	email and url hooks in About screen will be present from now on.

0.6.2:
	Status bar is now updated with the number of senses in different POSs (Part of Speeches). A 
	minor bug, which resulted in not searching of a already searched term, when the last search 
	was unsuccessful, fixed.

0.6.1:
	Double clicking or pressing Enter/Return key on a relative from any of the relative list, now 
	jumps to that word's definition search. About box, credits & licence are now mentioned in the 
	GUI. Autoconf and automake are now used to automate the building process in diff. environments. 
	Files COPYING, TODO, AUTHORS, NEWS, INSTALL, README & ChangeLog are added to the project.

0.6:
	Previous and Next buttons are added to give a browser like feature, wherein the user can scroll 
	thru' the list of terms they have searched. In case of a word already in history, when searched, 
	the word is searched and results are set as usual, but the word is searched for in the history, 
	and its set as the current active index in the combo box, that in-turn was calling the search 
	button click module again, resulting in 2 recursive searches. This issue is fixed.

0.5:
	After reading a few tutorials, first hand-written Makefile for Artha created with a few rules. 
	Two modes, one simple and the other advanced, designed for simplicity. Users who prefer to live 
	in list based relatives can do so, while veterans who want detailed info on the relatives of a 
	term can also do so with the help of the 'Detailed' mode button.

0.4.1:
	Populating of tree based relatives done (using recursion). Using the attributes concept of the 
	tree view, bold face for multi occuring relatives are displayed. WNI had a small bug, wherein 
	the term in question is checked against all of the master list, while missing the current list. 
	This issue is fixed.

0.4:
	Populated list based relatives in the respective GTK Tree View with Tree Store model. Referred 
	X's rgb.txt and assigned different colours for different familiarity category, with the lightest 
	for the most familiar (very familiar) to the darkest for the least (very rare). History of 
	searched words started to maintain in the drop down combo box with a GTK list store.

0.3:
	After doing code profiling of WNI using gprof, strip_adj_marker() was found to be getting 
	called highly redundantly, it is removed where ever not required. GUI designed with Glade3, while
	GTK Builder class is used for loading the GUI. Definitions of a searched string displayed in the 
	designed GTK Text View. Initially formatting was like hell, once GTK Text Tag concepts came in, 
	this was much better with a decent formatting/colour-coding scheme.

0.2:
	XGrabKey, to grab a hotkey combo, which was long done (2007 year end) before the project started 
	came in very handy when it was required. libnotify used to display the first definition of Artha 
	from System Tray icon.

0.1.1:
	Memory leaks checked with Valgrind. Since Slice Allocator was recommended by GTK+, code's 
	alloc's. moved to Slice Alloctor.

0.1:
	After a lot of contemplation, WordNet Interface module is created with a list model for a 
	few relative lists and tree model for the remaining, so that they can be used for different modes.
