+Changes between 0.7.2 and 0.8.0:
+--------------------------------
+This highlights some important changes since the most recent numbered release.
+Refer to http://redmine.ccnx.org/versions/17 for more details on CCNx 0.8.0.
+
+- The more readable escaping convention is now the default.  If for whatever reason you prefer to use only percent-escaping in URIs, use
+
+		CFLAGS='-g -DCCN_URI_DEFAULT_ESCAPE=4' ./configure
+
+	before typing make.
+- The content store in ccnd has been improved.  It now uses a flatname representation for indexing, in the same way that ccnr does.  Also, the underlying skiplist implementation has moved into the library, so that applications may take advantage of it in the future.  In the process, some old bugs relating to the handling of extreme values of FreshnessSeconds were fixed.
+
+  * Issues Resolved:
+	* Bug #100118: ccnd does not handle FreshnessSeconds=0 correctly.
+	* Bug #100119: ccnd should handle large values of FreshnessSeconds
+	* Bug #100897: timeout values  should be consistently long throughout java code 
+	* Bug #100966: Incorrect processing of CCNS_SYNC_SCOPE=3
+	* Bug #100977: Problem with verify in CCNInputStream when trying to retrieve key

+	* Bug #101005: CCNx Android Services build out of sync with API changes to CCNx C-lib
+	* Bug #101007: ccn_resolve_version() should distinguish between no response and finding an unversioned object.
+	* Bug #101010: ccnseqwriter command busy-loops when its ccnd goes away
+	* Bug #101011: Compile warning when building new symmetric key code with openssl 0.9.8
+	* Bug #101015: ccnd needs to protect against malformed/malicious ccnb encoded data on stream faces
+	* Bug #101018: Java symmetric key code uses old Sun class
+	* Bug #101020: library sync watch functionality needs to use an appropriate scope setting
+	* Bug #101022: update eclipse configuration to include systemtest
+	* Feature #100617: Android code to support 'ccnd' no longer needs to run the script to create keystore.
+	* Feature #100720: Java testing log level setting is confusing
+	* Feature #100874: Implement a keystore that can support symmetric keys
+	* Feature #100890: Add an ordered dictionary to libccn

+	* Feature #100988: Make =-escaping of ccnx URIs the default
+	* Feature #100997: javasrc System testing should move to javasrc/src/systemtest and 'make test' should be isolated to running unit tests
+	* Feature #101003: Add option to ccnnamelist to make it easier to test parse speed
+	* Feature #101021: Add example rc init scripts
+	* Support #100937: Prepare for ccnx-0.8.0 release
