+#+TITLE: guile-xapian NEWS – History of user-visible changes
+
+Copyright © 2022 Arun Isaac <arunisaac@systemreboot.net>
+
+Please send guile-xapian bug reports to arunisaac@systemreboot.net
+
+* Changes in 0.2.0 (since 0.1.0)
+** Noteworthy bug fixes
+*** Look for libguilexapian.so under .libs
+guile >= 3.0.6 no longer uses libltdl. So, we need to explicitly look
+for libguilexapian.so under .libs.
+** Features
+*** Support in-memory databases via call-with-in-memory-database
+*** Support setting and getting bytevectors as document data and slot values
+Document data and slot values can now be bytevectors. You can set
+bytevector document data and slot values using make-document,
+document-set-data! and document-slot-set!. You can get bytevector
+document data and slot values using document-bytes and
+document-slot-ref-bytes, while you can get string document data and
+slot values using document-data and document-slot-ref.
+*** Wrap MSet-snippet as mset-snippet
