-Changed in xts 0.8-1:
+Changed in xts 0.10-1:
+
+o  indexFormat is now generic, consistent with indexFormat<- (#188).
+
+o  Calling as.matrix() on a zero-width xts object now behaves consistently
+   with zoo, and no longer throws an error (#130).
+
+o  Fix weird result in merge.xts() when 'fill' argument is NULL or a zero-
+   length vector (#261).
+
+o  Fixed bug in endpoints() due to sub-second representation error via using
+   integer division (%/%) with non- integer arguments (#202).
+
+o  endpoints() gained sub-second accuracy on Windows (#282).
+
+o  plot.xts() no longer errors when called on an object containing a constant
+   value. It chooses ylim values +/-20% from the series value (#156).
+
+o  plot.xts() now places y-axis labels in the same location on the plot,
+   regardless of data periodicity (#85).
+
+o  rbind.xts() now throws an error if passed an xts object with different
+   number of observations in the index and data (e.g., zero-width) (#98).
+
+Changed in xts 0.10-0:
+
+Major changes include:
+o  A new plot.xts() that is incompatible with earlier versions of plot.xts().
+o  Moved development from R-Forge to GitHub.
+o  New xts FAQ.
+
+Other, less disruptive changes include:
+
+o  merge.xts() now throws an error if the index contains non-finite values
+   (#174).
+
+o  Constructors xts() and .xts() now ensure order.by and index arguments do not
+   contain non-finite values. Many xts functions, most notably merge.xts(),
+   expect all index values to be finite. Missing index values usually indicate
+   an error, and always occurred at the end of the index (#173, #194, #199).
+
+o  Fixed bug in endpoints() when called on sparse data that have the same month
+   and day, but different years (#169).
+
+o  Fixed bug in [.xts did not do the same checks on logical xts objects as it
+   does for all other data types (#163).
+
+o  Fixed bug that caused split.xts() to error if 'f' is a character vector with
+   more than 1 element (#134).
+
+o  Fixed bug that crashed R if 'k' argument to lag.xts() was not an integer and
+   would be NA when coerced to integer (#152).
+
+o  period.apply() now checks to ensure the object's index is unique and sorted,
+   and sets INDEX <- sort(unique(INDEX)) if it is not. It also ensures INDEX
+   starts with 0 and ends with NROW(x) (#171).
+
+o  All references to the 'its' package have been removed, since it is now
+   archived on CRAN at the request of its maintainer.
+
+o  Fixed bug that crashed R when merge.xts() was called on an empty xts object
+   and more than one non-xts object (#157).
+
+o  Fixed bug that did not set the index's tzone attribute to UTC when
+   index<-.xts or indexClass<- were called and 'value' did not have a tzone
+   attribute (#148).
+
+o  Fixed a bug in endpoints() that caused incorrect results if the index was
+   less than the epoch (#144).
+
+o  Fixed a bug that caused diff.xts() on a logical xts object to return an
+   object with a POSIXct index.
+
+o  index.xts() works even if the package containing the class for the index
+   is not attached (it needs to be loaded, however).
+
+o  [.xts now returns NA if a one-column xts object is subsect by NA, instead
+   of throwing an uninformative error (#97).
+
+o  Fixed bugs that would crash R when [.xts was called a certain way and 'j'
+   contained NA values (#97, #181).
+
+o  Fixed a bug in endpoints() where 1 second would be subtracted for any date
+   in the year 1969. The subtraction is only supposed to occur on
+   1969-12-31 23:59:59.9... to work around behavior in strptime().
+
+o  timeBasedSeq() now honors hour/min/sec 'BY' values (#91).
+
+o  [.xts now throws an error if 'j' is character and not one of the column
+   names. This is consistent with [.zoo and [.matrix (#48).
+
+o  timeBasedSeq() now works correctly when resolution is "days" the sequence
+   includes a daylight saving time change (#67).
+
+o  Explicitly set indexTZ="UTC" for all index classes that do not have a TZ
+   (#66).  indexTZ="GMT" is also allowed.
+
+o  Fixed as.xts() when called on an 'mts' object (#64).
+
+o  Moved development from R-Forge to GitHub.
+
+o  Fixed bug in to.period() that errored when name=NULL (#5937).
+
+o  Fixed bug in .index* functions that did not account for timezones (#5891).
+
+o  Fixed bug that allowed index<-.xts to produce an unsorted index (#5893).
+
+o  Fixed bug so subsetting a zero-width xts object with a zero-length 'i'
+   vector no longer returns an object with column names (#5885).
+
+o  Updated [.xts to handle 'i' containing multiple zeros (e.g. subsetting by a
+   "logical" column of an integer xts object).
+
+o  endpoints() now errors if k < 0.
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-7:
+
+o  Fixed bug that caused logical operators on xts objects to drop the 'tzone'
+   attribute (#2750).
+
+o  Fixed bug that ignored 'which.i' argument to [.xts on zero-width xts
+   objects (#2753).
+
+o  Fixed bug where xts() does not sort 'order.by' if x is missing (#4775).
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-6:
+
+o  Fixed bug where setting dimnames to NULL would break as.xts() (#4794).
+
+o  Added checks to period.sum/prod/min/max to ensure INDEX is in [0,nrow(x)].
+
+o  Fixed missing argument to na_locf() in the C/C++ xtsAPI (Dirk Eddelbuettel).
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-5:
+
+o  Increased zoo dependency version to 1.7-10 for changes in C code.
+
+o  Fixed several minor issues in the C/C++ xtsAPI (Dirk Eddelbuettel).
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-4:
+
+o  Fixed bug where the index was missing the 'tzone' attribute.
+
+o  Fixed to.period() bug when 'indexAt' is "firstof" or "lastof". (bug #2691,
+   patch #2710, thanks to Garrett See)
+
+o  Fixed subsetting bug on zero-width xts objects that returned NA data and an
+   NA index (#2669).
+
+o  xts' merge() method now has 'drop' and 'check.names' arguments to match
+   the zoo merge() method.
+
+o  'index<-' now correctly handles UTC Date objects when resetting index
+   values. '.index<-' behaved correctly.
+
+o  xts' rollapply() method now handles the 'fill' argument.
+
+o  Added several functions to the C/C++ API:
+   - make_index_unique
+   - make_unique
+   - endpoints
+   - do_merge_xts
+   - na_omit_xts
+   - na_locf
+
+o  Fixed xts' rollapply() method when input has one column, but function
+   output has more than one column.
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-3:
+
+o  No user-visible changes.
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-2:
+
+o  Added C/C++ xtsAPI (Dirk Eddelbuettel)
+
+o  Added tzone() and tclass() functions as aliases to indexTZ() and
+   indexClass(), respectively. Eventually will Deprecate/Defunct the former.
+
+Changed in xts 0.9-1:
+
+o  xts() now ignores timezone arguments when order.by is Date class, with a
+   warning.
+
+Changed in xts 0.8-8:
+
+o  Modified str() output to make use of proper ISO-8601 range formating
+
+o  Fixed bug in reclass() when 'tzone' of object is different than system TZ.
+
+o  Fixed bug in xts() that dropped dims when 'x' is a 1-column matrix or
+   data.frame.
+
+o  [.xts no longer warns if 'i' is zero-length.
+
+o  to.period() now checks that 'x' is not zero-length/width.
+
+o  Fixed edge case in Ops.xts where two objects with no common index create
+   an invalid 'xts' object with no index.
+
+o  to.monthly() and to.quarterly() now default to drop.time=TRUE.
+
+o  Internal .drop.time() now changes the index class to Date. This affects
+   the to.period() family of functions.
+
+o  Restore Date index/tclass conversion to POSIXct with a UTC timezone via
+   integer division instead of double-precision division.
+
+Changed in xts 0.8-6:
+
+o  Revert Date index/tclass conversion to POSIXct with a UTC timezone to
+   previous behavior as in 0.8-2.
+
+Changed in xts 0.8-5:
+
+o  A Date index/tclass is now internally converted to POSIXct with a UTC
+   timezone ensure proper conversion regardless of user TZ settings.
+
+o  tclass is now an argument to .xts()
+
+o  Fix endpoints() properly handles millisecond time stamps (and microsecond
+   on not Windows).
+
+o  Subsetting zero-width xts objects now behaves like zoo, with NA values
+   returned for valid row requests.
+
+Changed in xts 0.8-2:
+
+o  Fixed bug in lag() and diff() for character coredata.
+
+o  Fixed subsetting bug that returned a contiguous chunk of data even when
+   a non-contiguous 'i' was provided.
+
+o  Fixed bug that ignored FinCenter/TZ for timeDate index
+
+o  period.apply() now only sets colnames if the number of columns in the input
+   and output are equal.
+
+o  Fixed periodicity() when scale = "yearly"
+
+o  Fixed [.xts when row-subsetting via a POSIXct vector, which returned an
+   object full of NA.
+
+o  Added '...' to axis() call inside of plot.xts() to allow for 'cex.axis'
+   and 'cex.lab' to be passed in.
+
+o  Fixed axes=FALSE issue in plot.xts().
 
 o  Dependency now on 1.7-0 or better of zoo (R-forge at present)
    This build now links to C code moved from xts to zoo. At present
    this is only for zoo_lag (used in lag and lagts)
 
+o  Added 'drop' and 'fromLast' arguments to make.index.unique().
+
+o  Added adj.time() and shift.time()
+
+o  Fixed na.locf() bug that would fill trailing NA larger than 'maxgap'
+   observations (#1319)
+
+o  Updated indexFormat() documentation and add an example
+
+Changed in xts 0.8-0:
+
+o  Fix print formatting (#1080)
+
+o  Fix bug related to na.locf() and zero-width objects (#1079)
+
+o  Add .RECLASS = FALSE after '...' for as.xts.*() methods. This makes all
+   as.xts.*() methods one-way (i.e. not reclass-able). Objects converted to
+   xts via try.xts() can still be converted back to their original class
+   via relcass().
+
+o  Fix bug that caused colnames to be dropped if object is subset by time
+   that is not in the index.
+
 Changes in xts 0.7-5:
 
 o  try.xts and reclass now are more efficient on xts objects,
