 0.0.3:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2004-06-04
+	* dfdecl.in,dfuns.c: throw() dfun
+	* various: removed references to type_xmalloc, was a silly thing
+	* lang.y,interpret.c,debug.c: basic string tables
+	* sys.c: xrealloc()
+	* lex.l: one-liner comments (C++-style) can now span several lines
+			if they are ended with a slash. Like this:
+				// this comment \
+				   spans several \
+				   lines
+	* lex.l: added fake __VERSION__ and __ARCH__ macros
+	* net.c,object.c: destructed objects go to a list 'to_be_dested', which
+	destruct_all() will then traverse - less objects to go through
+2004-05-30
+	* dfuns.c: write() doesn't return anything anymore.
+	           shout() now only takes one parameter - text to send, and
+			   sends this to all interactive objects, excluding this_player.
+			   These two changes imitate MudOS behaviour.
+	  Trying to work more on AGD from now on.
+2004-04-23
+	* arch.h: OpenBSD
+2004-04-17
+	* compile.c: curr_f_check() now set curr_fun->code to NULL, fixes crasher.
+	* configure.ac: removed a lot of checks for things I don't see as
+	  necessary. This probably hurts portability, but at least it's faster.
+	* configure.ac: Renamed --enable-bison-debug to --enable-yacc-debug.
+	  And it now works.
+2004-04-08
+	* lang.y: More hacking, now compiles.
+	* Cleaned headers on some files.
+2004-04-07
+	* lang.y: More ugly, twisted grammar hacking.
+2004-04-06
+	* net.c: Didn't change to use HAVE_WINSOCK_H instead of WINSOCK. Ow.
+2004-04-05
+	* lang.y: Continued work.
+	  Some highlights:
+	  	Reduced CPU and memory usage, and quite a lot.
+		Variables can be defined inside code.
+		lvalue statement, so expr_t uses less memory.
+2004-04-04
+	* sys.c,sys.h: removed memory statistics
+	* array.c,array.h: arrays are now only an LPC datatype, and not
+	  in internal data structures.
+	* lang.y: MAJOR changes and improvements:
+		array_t's (as they are in array.h) are not used for compilation
+		anymore. No array_concats, no array_pushes, no array_removes
+		are called. Compilation should be many times faster now.
+		Also, code was kept in memory doubled - once in the actual
+		code, once in the expressions. This isn't so anymore.
 2004-03-30
 	* dflex.l,lex.l,dfparse.y,lang.y: Removed lex.h and location_t,
 	  all of these now use Bison's YYLTYPE.
