* Neat EWG logo (Till Bay)
* Removed all potential CAT-calls (via gelint)
* Resolving feature name clashes with features from class ANY in generated code
* Support for ePosix 2.3
* Several dispose related bugs fixed (Mark, I)
* Support for GCC __asm C extension
* Support for new msc extensions (new __declspec constructs)

* Configuration support, it is now possible to specify what and what not to wrap
* Due to config support, number of unused wrappers in examples greatly reduced -> compilation speed up
* Parser accepts '__inline__' keyword
* Parser accepts '__forceinline' keyword
* Parser accepts '__signed__' keyword
* Fixed enum bug
* Fixed runtime bugs
* Wrapper class names have now a maximum length
* Command line interface simplified
* Further additions to the GTK wrapper abstractions
* New GTK examples
* Better struct member accessor names

* Nicer progress indicator
* Performance improvement (2x as fast)
* Much reduced memory footprint
* (for opengl down from 400MB to 30MB)
* Parser accepts '__inline' even without msc-extensions

* Further additions to the GTK wrapper abstractions
* New GTK examples
* The Visual C abbreviation for GOBO_CC is now "msc" instead of "cl" (to comply with ePosix)
* Preliminary support for Borland C++ on Windows (GOBO_CC=bcb)
* EWG stops now on syntax errors
* Better error reporting
* Improved contract of abstract struct wrappers
* EWG consumes less memory
* Fixed nasty "constant pointer" bug
* Various other parser bugfixes
* More robust external clauses
* Added "Doctor C"
* Restructured clusters
* Properly prefixed class names
* Huge performance improvement
* (On my Linux box the generation of the example wrappers is 12 times fast with 0.7.0 than with 0.6.0)
* Improved documentation

Changes:
* Visual Eiffel support
* Improved documentation
* Further additions to the GTK wrapper abstractions
* New GTK examples
* More robust "#line" directive scanner
* gcc keyword '__extension__' now correctly parsed
* Fixed problems with Win32 calling conventions
* Various other bugs fixed

If you tried to download the 0.5.1 tgz-packages and received what seemed to be a corrupt file, please try again. The problem is fixed now. (The problem was that some browsers unzip .tgz on the fly, but then don't change the file name extension from .tgz to .tar)

* Major improvements to the GTK wrapper abstractions
* Support for C structure arrays
* Support for C pointer arrays
* Made C callback mechanism for ISE Eiffel faster and safer
* Bug fixes for the runtime library

Changes:
* Support for Visual C extensions
* Support for Windows
* Tons of parser bugs fixed
* Switched to Eiffel Forum License v2
* Support for functions and callbacks with anonymous parameters
* Address of C Functions can be accessed from within Eiffel
* C callbacks instances can be called from within Eiffel
* Added '--verbose' flag
* Improved build system
* Improved runtime library
* Improved progress indicator
* Added Documentation
