New in 0.6.2, released 2004-01-11:
	* An Italian translation from Stefano Palmeri was added.
	* UTF-8 support when linked to ncursesw (use --with-ncursesw).
	* A SIGBUS error on sparc64 was fixed.

New in 0.6.1, released 2003-08-31:
	* The 'Start search' button doesn't automatically clear old
	  searches, since some networks return more results when searched
	  multiple times.
	* Some annoying bugs regarding interface protocol ID's were fixed.

New in 0.6.0, released 2003-07-10:
	* Now uses GLib 2.
	* The md5file option is now deprecated, since giFT verifies the
	  checksum of downloads itself.
	* Banned words are stored in the config file.
	* A user ignore feature. Press 'i' to ignore them for the session,
	  press 'I' to ignore them permanently.
	* A console where all messages are shown. Pressing 'v' will turn
	  on verbose mode. Pressing 'w' changes wrapping.
	* The search tab is highlighted when a search completes, and the
	  same goes for the transfer tab when a download completes.
	* A small interface protocol change is supported. giFT now uses
	  only the ID's in the range 32768-65535, to avoid ID collisions.

New in 0.5.7, released 2003-05-01:
	* Ability to exclude search terms by placing a '-' before them.
	* Sorting of hits and transfers by arbitrary fields which can be
	  specified in the config file.

New in 0.5.6, released 2003-02-27:
	* Improved format strings.
	* 'q' exits the program.
	* Portability fixes.
	* Don't crash when a search result without a mime field is
	  to be shown. Thanks to Jan-Marek Glogowski for discovering
	  and fixing this.

New in 0.5.5, released 2002-11-25:
	* Captital E in the transfer screen (un)expands all transfers.

	  giFTcurs.conf(5).
	* More things are clickable, check the ChangeLog.
	* The 'X' key was changed to 'T', to make cancelling transfers harder.

New in 0.4.2, released 2002-06-26:
	* Selections now have their own color. The old behaviour of inverting
	  the color is still available, see giFTcurs.conf(5).
	* Two new sorting orders.
	* A setting that will ignore hits with zero availability.
	* A compile fix for FreeBSD and one for Mac OS X.
	* Support for the new pause feature in giFT. (Press 'p' on a download.)

New in 0.4.1, released 2002-05-20:
	* An option to log hash and filename of started downloads to a file,
	  so that a user may run md5sum -c.
	* A PowerPC-specific segfault was fixed.

New in 0.4.0, released 2002-05-18:
