+Ng-spice-rework-16
+============
+
+Rework-16 comes out after almost one year of CVS development (from
+15-fixedRC3). This release improves ngspice in three ways:
+
+- Bug fixing: most of the bugs that affected rework-15 have been fixed,
+ thus ngspice is more stable, especially the xspice extension, the
+ subcircuit (X devices) handling and the numparam library.
+
+- New features: netlist syntax has been expandend allowing for end-of-line
+ comments. A ".global" card has beed added to define global nodes, i.e.
+ nodes that are not expanded in subcircuits. It is possible to define TC
+ for resistors on the instance line. The editline library can be used
+ instead of readline (no more GPL license violation).
+
+- Porting: ngspice now works (with xspice extension) on Windows using
+ MINGW/MSYS.

Ng-spice-rework-15
============
Rework-15 release is a giant leap forward for ngspice. It incorporates
many (read most) of the improvements implemented in tclspice during the
-two years long "sleep" of ngspice and adds many others. The incomplete of
-new features incorporated are:
