-Notes for Windows Users
-=======================
-
-These are just minimal notes.  The manual contains more detailed
-information.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-IPython runs under (as far as the Windows family is concerned):
-
-- Windows XP (I think WinNT/2000 are ok): works well.  It needs:
-
-  * Gary Bishop's readline from 
-    http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools.
-    
-  * This in turn requires Tomas Heller's ctypes from
-    http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes.
-
-- Windows 95/98/ME: I have no idea. It should work, but I can't test.
-
-- CygWin environments should work, they are basically Posix.
-
-It needs Python 2.2 or newer.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-Double-click the supplied .exe installer file.  If all goes well, that's all
-you need to do. You should now have an IPython entry in your Start Menu.
-
-In case the automatic installer does not work for some reason, you can
-download the ipython-XXX.tar.gz file, which contains the full IPython source
-distribution (the popular WinZip can read .tar.gz files). After uncompressing
-the archive, you can install it at a command terminal just like any other
-Python module, by using python setup.py install'. After this completes, you
-can run the supplied win32_manual_post_install.py script which will add
-the relevant shortcuts to your startup menu.

-
-Purpose
-=======
-
-This file documents backwards-incompatible changes to the IPython API,
-including user-visible changes of commands, magics, etc.
-
-It should be filled in reverse chronological order, with one section for each
-release (which means changes since the previous release).
-
-
-Version 0.8.2
-=============
-
-Changes made since version 0.8.1 was released:
-
-* %pushd/%popd behave differently; now "pushd /foo" pushes CURRENT directory 
-  and jumps to /foo. The current behaviour is closer to the documented 
-  behaviour, and should not trip anyone.
-  
-Version 0.8.3
-=============
-  
-* pydb is now disabled by default (due to %run -d problems). You can enable
-it by passing -pydb command line argument to IPython. Note that setting
-it in config file won't work.
