+## 1.0.0 (2011-04-17)
+
+- Use the gobject instrospection dynamic bindings, breaks compatibility for existing extensions.
+- For Nautilus3, the `get_toolbar_items` methods have been removed. (Only reporting that change, it isn't up 
to us). Should still work with Nautilus 2.x annotations.
+- No longer look in the old `~/.nautilus/python-extensions` or `/usr/lib/nautilus/extensions2.0/python` 
folders for extensions. Now look in `~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions` or 
`$XDG_DATA_DIR/nautilus-python/extensions`. Extensions should be arch-independent now.
+- General clean up of the repository, removed old .cvsignore files
+- Updated the gtk-doc documentation and examples to work with new dynamic bindings.

+- Fixed the update-file-info-async example plugin

+
+## 0.7.1 (2011-03-02)
+

+
+## 0.7.0 (2010-05-21)
+

+  - `nautilus.InfoProvider.update_file_info_full`
+  - `nautilus.InfoProvider.update_complete_invoke`
+  - `nautilus.InfoProvider.cancel_update`
+  - `nautilus.MenuProvider.get_file_items_full`
+  - `nautilus.MenuProvider.get_background_items_full`
+  - `nautilus.MenuProvider.get_toolbar_items_full`

+- Added complete gtk-doc documentation: tutorial and reference. Enable by adding the `--enable-gtk-doc` 
argument to `./configure` or `./autogen.sh`
+- Updated the `autogen.sh` file so it is not a copied-over obsolete version of gnome-autogen.sh, but a shell 
that calls the user's installed gnome-autogen.sh.
+- Removed obsolete .spec file
+- Removed obsolete `examples/documentation.py` file
+- Added an example plugin for the LocationWidgetProvider
+- Look for python plugins in `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nautilus-python/extensions`. This includes `~/.local/share` and 
`/usr/share` (or whatever `$XDG_DATA_DIR` is set to)
+
+## 0.6.1 (2010-01-19)
+
+- Look for `libpython2.6.so.1.0` instead of `libpython2.6.so`, the latter is general available from -devel 
packages only.
+- Re-added the missing spec and pc files
+- Free pygobject data directly after using file objects. Stops segfaults from occurring when nautilus wants 
to free pygobject data after `Py_Finalize()` is called.
+
+## 0.6.0 (2010-01-15)
+
+- Remove eel dependency (Vincent Untz)
+- Sanitize python search path (Mark Lee)
