+Changes from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4 (August 2011)
+=========================================
+
+The main developers this time were: Trent Gamblin, Matthew Leverton,
+Elias Pschernig, Jon Rafkind, Paul Suntsov, Peter Wang and torhu.
+
+Core:
+
+-  Restore searching of directories on PATH for DLLs to load on Windows.
+
+-  Fix crash on shutdown in headless Unix environment (no X11 display).
+
+-  Change all instances of al_malloc + memset(0) to al_calloc.
+
+Graphics:
+
+-  Save memory in OpenGL case by freeing bitmap memory after uploading a
+   texture.  Use a temporary buffer when converting lock buffer back to native
+   texture format.
+
+-  Don't release or refresh memory or sub-bitmaps when D3D device gets
+   lost/found.
+
+-  Do not set D3D sub bitmaps to modified when first creating them. This can
+   cause major slowdowns when creating a lot of sub-bitmaps and is likely
+   responsible for slow font performance/startup when using D3D.
+
+-  Fix incorrect number of display formats in D3D (tobing).
+
+-  Honor ALLEGRO_VSYNC in the WGL driver.
+
+-  Make titlebar icons the right size on Windows.
+
+-  Fix typo causing weird results of al_get_monitor_info on X.
+
+-  Don't setup FBO for a sub-bitmap whose parent is locked.
+
+-  Specialise ADD/ONE/INVERSE_ALPHA blend mode software scanline drawers.
+
+-  Toggle ALLEGRO_VIDEO_BITMAP flag off when creating a memory bitmap (both
+   bits were previously on).
+
+-  Add null bitmap assertion to al_clone_bitmap.
+
+Input:
+
+-  New system for mapping extended keys in Windows keyboard driver.
+   Mainly for getting the same keycode for numpad keys independently of the
+   state of Num Lock.
+
+-  More reliable updating of the toggle modifiers in Windows keyboard driver
+   (Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock).
+
+Timers:
+
+-  Fix race conditions when starting timers from different threads.
+
+Audio addons:
+
+-  Don't mix into a global temporary sample buffer, causing noise when two
+   separate mixers are trying to run in parallel.
+
+-  Make it possible to start/stop an audio stream which is attached to a voice.
+
+-  ALSA voices could not be resumed after being stopped, because the
+   update threads quit as soon as a voice is stopped.
+
+-  OpenAL backend did not handle the case where _al_voice_update returns less
+   than a full buffer.
+
+-  Attempt to load FLAC and Vorbis DLLs only once to avoid Windows popping up
+   too many error windows.
+
+Native dialogs addon:
+
+-  al_show_native_messagebox() on Windows: add UTF-8 support; show heading;
+   show information icon by default.
+
+TTF addon:
+
+-  Reduce memory usage.
+
+-  Don't make multiple passes over strings when computing text dimensions.
+
+Build system:
+
+-  Make sure static builds on Windows never use DLL_TLS (Zac Evans).
+
+-  Made compilation possible with different combinations of Xinerama,
+   XF86VidMode, or Randr being present.
+
+-  cmake: Use find_path HINTS instead of PATHS in our DirectX SDK scripts.
+
+-  cmake: Search for D3DX9 once instead of multiple times (John-Kim Murphy).
+
+-  cmake: Find FLAC/Ogg/Vorbis libraries under the names generated by the
+   official MSVC project files.
+
+-  Include zlib.h explicitly for libpng 1.5.
+
+Examples:
+
+-  Add multisampling to SPEED example.  Change examples to use ALLEGRO_SUGGEST
+   for multisampling.
+
+-  Include the font for speed.app under OSX within the bundle so it can be run
+   by double clicking.
+
+-  Use default blending/pre-multiplied alpha in ex_blend2.
+
+Other:
+
+-  Various documentation updates.
+
+-  Fix minor memory leaks.
+
+Bindings:
+
+-  Better way to make the Python wrapper work with both Python 2 and 3.
+
+-  Include Windows-specific functions in the Python wrapper.
+
+
+
