+* 0.2.4
+** Language:
+- scripts now have names and can declare metavariables that are seen by
+  SmPL as identifier metavariables, see demos/{python,ocaml}tococci.cocci
+- declaration (match variable declarations) and field (match structure
+  field declarations) metavariables
+- matching of array initializations and of enum declarations
+
+** Features:
+- compatability with Python 2.7.  Thanks to Richard W.M. Jones for pointing
+  out the problem
+- python and ocaml string representations of parameter lists and expression
+  lists
+- try simpler patterns on glimpse failure
+- graceful and immediate failure when a virtual rule is defined on the
+  command line, but not in the rule
+- spatch returns -1 when a virtual rule is requested that is not supported
+- no transformation when using * with the option -no_show_diff
+- expanded +++ file name for match output
+- struct *^* and enum *^* metavariable types
+- allow an assignment to match a variable initialization, even if multiple
+  variables are declared at the same time.
+
+** Bugfix:
+- detect used after metavariables in simple statement metavariable match
+- allow inheriting position variables over rules that make transformations
+  but depend on virtual rules that are not defined on the command line
+- treat top-level tokens in decl visitor.  Thanks to Peter Tummeltshammer
+  for noticing a resulting problem.
+- improve typing of the result of an assignment expression
+- eliminate some recursive calls in C code parsing to avoid stack overflows
+- better pretty printing of #define when the whole line is removed
+- better pretty printing of asm code containing
+  "::[input]"r"(&coherence_data[i])"
+- allow pretty printing of C code with nameless bit fields
+- avoid adding an error message to standard output if ocamlfind is not
+  found
+- struct/union/enum-typed metavariables with a metavariable type name
+- better management of whitespace between deleted lines.  Thanks to
+  Andriy Gapon for noticing the problem.
+- improved parsing recovery for badly parsed struct/enum typedefs
+- drop expanded tokens in sgrep output.  Thanks to Andriy Gapon for
+  noticing the problem.
+- constant strings have array type, not pointer type.  Thanks to Vasiliy
+  Kulikov for noticing the problem.

 * 0.2.3
