+- Added "--summarize" option. [AL]
+- Added "--recurse:" selective recursion option. [AL]
+- Added "--noprompt" option for totally automated deletion of
+  duplicate files.
+- Now sorts duplicates (old to new) for consistent order when
+  listing or deleteing duplicate files.
+- Now tests for early matching of files, which should help speed up
+  the matching process when large files are involved.
+- Added warning whenever a file cannot be deleted. [CHL, AL]
+- Fixed bug where some files would not be closed after failure. [AL]
 - Fixed bug where confirmmatch() function wouldn't always deal
   properly with zero-length files. [AL]
 - Fixed bug where progress indicator would not be cleared
   when no files were found. [AL]
+- Removed experimental red-black tree code (it was slower on
+  my system than the default code). [AL]
+- Modified md5/md5.c to avoid compiler warning. [CHL]
 - Changes to fdupes.c for compilation under platforms where
   getopt_long is unavailable. [LR, AL]
+- Changes to help text for clarity. [AL]
 - Various changes and improvements to Makefile. [PB, AL]

-- Add option to highlight or identify symlinked files.

+
+- Don't assume that stat always works.
+
+- Add partial checksumming where instead of MD5ing whole
+  files we MD5 and compare every so many bytes, caching
+  these partial results for subsequent comparisons.
+
+- Option -R should not have to be separated from the rest,
+  such that "fdupes -dR testdir", "fdupes -d -R testdir",
+  "fdupes -Rd testdir", etc., all yield the same results.
+
+- Add option to highlight or identify symlinked files (suggest
+  using --classify to identify symlinks with @ suffix... when
+  specified, files containing @ are listed using \@).
+
+- Consider autodeletion option without user intervention.
+
+- Consider option to match only to files in specific directory.
+
+- Do a little commenting, to avoid rolling eyes and/or snickering.
+
 - Fix problem where MD5 collisions will result in one of the
   files not being registered (causing it to be ignored).
