 PLIB Change Log.
 ================
 
+PLIB v1.6.0 (Sept 2nd 2002)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It's been over a year since the last PLIB release
+and we have been somewhat lax about maintaining a
+list of changes.
+
+Some highlights are:
+
+  * Significant improvements and cleanup throughout PLIB,
+    especially in PUI.
+
+  * ssgAux library added - includes handy classes for
+    more sophisticated effects layered on top of SSG.
+
+      + Standard shapes like cubes, spheres,
+        cylinders and teapots.
+
+      + Water waves.
+
+      + Fire.
+
+      + Particle Systems
+
+      + Lens Flare.
+
+  * More example programs.
+
+  * P-Guide GUI builder for PUI.
+
+  * JS promoted to a full library.
+
 PLIB v1.5.1 (July 21st 2001)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 STABILITY AND RELIABILITY:

+SSG, SG, SL, JS and PUI have all been in use for a long time
 in a huge number of applications - so they are reliable
 and unlikely to change much in the future.
 
 UTIL and FNT are pretty simple and should be very stable.
 
-SSG is still fairly new though - and it's by far the
-most complex and ambitious of the libraries. Whilst
-it seems to work well and to be stable for the couple
-of applications I have, it will certainly need more
-work in the future.
-
+SSGAUX is still fairly new though - new features added
+to it should not destroy older features though - so
+you can use it with confidence.
 
 
 AUX LIBRARIES AND TOOLS:
 
-PLIB comes with a number of auxiliary libraries in the
-'auxlibs' folder.  These add capabilities to PLIB that
-not every program will wish to be burdened with.
-
 The 'tools' directory contains a number of useful tools
 and utility programs that are either built using PLIB or
 which are specifically useful when writing PLIB programs.
