+0.4.0 (2017-06-12)
+------------------
+
+ * Updated build requirements:
+ - A C++ compiler with full C++11 support (g++ >= 4.8.1 or clang++ >= 3.3)
+ - cmake >= 2.8.12
+ - libglib >= 2.28.0
+ - glibmm-2.4 >= 2.28.0

+ - New requirement: libboost-serialization.
+ - Dropped requirement: libboost-thread.
+ - libsigrokcxx >= 0.5.0 (libsigrok C++ bindings)
+ - libsigrokdecode >= 0.5.0
+ - Dropped support for Qt4; PulseView now requires Qt5.
+ * Add the concepts of sessions and views to PulseView:
+ - Sessions represent individual files/device instances.
+ Each session is represented as a tab in PulseView.
+ - Views are different data representations of one specific session.
+ For example, different views of a session can have different zoom levels,
+ can be scrolled to different positions, etc. etc.
+ Each view is a dock window within the respective session's tab.
+ - The view docks can be repositioned, resized and extracted out into their
+ own individual windows.
+ - Sessions and views are partially saved and restored when PulseView
+ exits/starts. Not all information is restored yet, though (e.g. decoders).
+ - Add CTRL-q to close PulseView, CTRL-w to close a session tab (bug #899).
+ * Add support for saving analog data to .sr files.
+ * Analog signal traces:
+ - Add initial implementation of a vertical grid for analog traces.
+ - Add a dropdown for the vertical resolution setting.
+ - Show the vertical resolution info on the right-hand side of the trace.
+ - Make the number of vertical/horizontal divisions configurable.
+ - Add an option to enable autoranging for analog channels.

+0.3.0 (2016-01-29)
+------------------
+
+ * PulseView now uses libsigrokcxx (the libsigrok C++ bindings library).
+ * Update to use the new APIs of libsigrokcxx 0.4.x and libsigrokdecode 0.4.x.
+ * Add support for vertical scaling of analog and logic traces.
+ * Add a "Save selection range as..." feature. This allows the user to select
+ a subset of the data (using the cursors) and save that into a file in the
+ libsigrok session format (*.sr).
+ * Remember the directory of the last file that was opened/saved.
+ * Automatically save and restore (upon PulseView shutdown/startup):
+ - the window state (size, position)
+ - the most recently used device
+ * Implement pinch-zoom support (useful e.g. on tablets).
+ * Implement an "always zoom-to-fit" feature.
+ * Implement a "sticky scrolling" feature, using hotkey 's' (bug #121).
+ * Show icons for active triggers on the right-hand side of the window.
+ * Cursors: Also show the frequency in addition to distance/time (bug #502).
+ * List available serial ports (for serial-based devices) in a drop-down.
+ * Add support for trace groups. An arbitrary number of traces can be grouped
+ together, which allows for dragging them around as a group and re-ordering
+ traces within the group. Hotkeys: group (CTRL+g), ungroup (CTRL+u).
+ * Use either alternating gray values as trace background color, or the
+ trace's own color (slightly modified). This behaviour is configurable
+ via the menu or the 'b' hotkey.
+ * Show a vertical marker at the trigger point (bug #685).
+ * Sampling bar: Show the total sampling time in a tooltip.
+ * Trace/Decoder popups: Close the popup when the ENTER/RETURN key is pressed.
+ * Improve horizontal arrow-key scrolling step size.
+ * The viewport can now be dragged vertically as well.
+ * Add support for placing arbitrary markers (double-click at the desired
+ position in the ruler area) with arbitrary name/content. Markers can be
+ removed via the delete key (or the right-click context menu).
+ * Show full device names in the device drop-down.
+ * The device selector combobox is now a split button. Clicking on a device
+ name will open the "Connect to Device" dialog which allows for manual
+ device selection. Clicking on the small arrow will open a drop-down with
+ all autodetected devices.
+ * The main menu is now hidden by default, pressing ALT will make it appear,
+ pressing ALT or ESC will hide it again.
+ * Add an Export menu item, which can export the data in various formats.
+ * Add an Import menu item, which allows data import of various formats.
+ * Support specifying input files + formats on the command-line (-i and -I).
+ * Update the possible samplerates/samplecounts widgets when needed.
+ * Various UI fixes and improvements (colors, font sizes, clipping, etc).
+ * Add support for the SR_CONF_{POWER_OFF,PROBE_FACTOR} config keys.
+ * Include the device / filename in the window title (bug #244).
+ * Keyboard shortcuts:
+ - Add space as a shortcut to start/stop an acquisition.
+ - Add shortcuts for the open/save menu items (CTRL-o, CTRL-s).
+ - Add trace group shortcuts: group (CTRL+g), ungroup (CTRL+u).
+ - Add 's' as shortcut for enabling/disabling sticky scrolling.
+ - Add 'b' as shortcut for colored / alternating-gray trace backgrounds.
+ * Add a few missing toolbar buttons.
+ * Provide tooltips for decoder annotations (which show the "full" annotation
+ text regardless of zoom-level).
+ * Improvements to work (better) with Qt5 (Qt4 remains supported as well).
+ * The whole code-base has been converted to C++11 (dropping the use
+ of various Boost functionality in favor of std:: equivalents).
+ * Build system:
+ - Always build with -std=c++11.
+ - Auto-detect Qt4 or Qt5. If both are available, Qt5 will be selected
+ unless the cmake option FORCE_QT4 is set to TRUE.
