Version 1.4
-----------
  * Added a "--pragma" option to retain #pragma in the output.
  * Fixed a number of obscure corner cases involving the interaction of
    multiple features e.g. foo##__LINE__.
  * Added the "--nowarn" option.

Version 1.3
-----------
  * Added a "--cpp" option for drop-in compatibility with standard cpp.
    It causes cpphs to accept standard cpp flags and translate
    them to cpphs equivalents.  Compatibility options include: -o, -ansi,
    -traditional, -stdc, -x, -include, -P, -C, -CC, -A.  The file
    behaviour is different too - if two filenames are given on the
    commandline, then the second is treated as the output location.
  * Fixed a corner-case bug in evaluating chained and overlapping #ifdefs.

Version 1.2
-----------
  * Re-arranged the source files into hierarchical libraries.
  * Exposed the library interface as an installable Cabal package, with
    Haddock documentation.
  * Added the --unlit option, for removing literate-style comments.

Version 1.1
-----------
  * Fix the .cabal way of building cpphs.
  * Update the --version reported (forgotten in 1.0, which still reports 0.9)
  * No longer throws an error when given an empty file as input.

Version 1.0
-----------
  * Add a compatibility script cpphs.compat, allowing cpphs to act as
    a drop-in replacement for cpp, e.g.
        ghc -cpp -pgmP cpphs.compat
  * Place quotes around replacements for special macros __FILE__, __DATE__,
    and __TIME__.
  * If no files are specified, read from stdin.
  * Ignore #! lines (e.g. in scripts)
  * Parse -D commandline options once only, and consistently with cpp,
    i.e. -Dfoo means foo=1
  * Fix compatibility with preprocessors like hsc2hs, which use
    non-cpp directives like #def.  They are now passed through to the
    output with a warning to stderr.

Version 0.9
-----------
  * Bugfix for ghc-6.4 -O: flush the output buffer.

Version 0.8
-----------
  * Added the --text option, to signify the input should not
    be lexed as Haskell.  This causes macros to be defined or expanded
    regardless of their location within comments, string delimiters, etc.
  * Shuffle a few files around to make it easier to say 'hmake cpphs'.
    There is also now a runhugs script to invoke cpphs nicely.

Version 0.7
-----------
  * Enable the __FILE__, __LINE__, __DATE__, and __TIME__ specials, which
    can be useful for creating DIY error messages.

Version 0.6
-----------
  * Recognise and ignore the #pragma cpp directive.
  * Fix beginning-of-file bug, where in --noline mode, a # cpp directive
    at the top of the file appeared in the output.
  * Fix chained parenthesised boolean exprs in #if, e.g.
        #if ( foo ) && ( bar )
  * Fix precedence in chained unparenthesised boolean exprs in #if, e.g.
        #if foo && bar || baz && frob
  * For better compatibility with cpp, and because otherwise
    there are certain constructs that cannot be expressed, we no
    longer permit whitespace in a <tt>#define</tt> between the
    symbolname and an opening parenthesis, e.g.
        #define f (f' id)
    Previously, this was interpreted as a parametrised macro,
    with arguments in the parens, and no expansion.  Now, the space
    indicates that this is a textual replacement, and the parenthesised
    expression is in fact the replacement.

Version 0.5
-----------
  * Added a --version flag to report the version number.
  * Renamed --stringise to --hashes, and use it to turn on ## catenation
    as well.
  * Bugfix for #if 1, previously taken as false.
  * Bugfix for --nolines: it no longer adds extra spurious newlines.
  * File inclusion now looks in the directory of the calling file.
  * Failure to find an include file is now merely a warning to stderr
    rather than an error.
  * Added a --layout flag.  Previously, line continuations in a macro
    definition were always preserved in the output, permitting use
    of the Haskell layout rule even inside a macro.  The default is now
    to remove line continuations for conformance with cpp, but the option
    of using --layout is still possible.

Version 0.4
-----------
  * New flag -Ofile to redirect output
  * Bugfix for precedence in   #if !False && False
  * Bugfix for whitespace between # and if
  * Bugfix for #define F "blah"; #include F

Version 0.3
-----------
  * Bugfix for recursive macro expansion.
  * New flag --strip to remove C comments even outside cpp directives.
  * New flag --stringise to recognise the # stringise operator in macros.

Version 0.2
-----------
  * New flag --noline to eliminate #line directives from output.
  * Add symbol-replacement and macro-expansion.
  * New flag --nomacro to turn off symbol/macro-expansion.

2004-Apr-21
-----------
  * Now accept multi-line # commands via the \ line continuation operator.
    The original file line numbering is preserved in the output by
    some tricky acrobatics.

Version 0.1
-----------
  * Initial release.
