Thanks for the tip. However, the CHANGES fille is just a dump of every
single change that was made with each release, so it's hard to tell
why a user should upgrade to the next major release (eg. 1.6 to 1.8).

Is there really no article on the web that sums up what the major
changes were within the four active branches?

I'm running 1.4 on a non-x86 platform, and before I spend time trying
to cross-compile, I need to know 1) whether I really need to upgrade,
and 2) if that's the case, to which version.

Thank you.
