+	Detailed history may be found in the file ChangeLog in the
+	&OfflineIMAP; distribution.  Feature and bug histories may be
+	found in the file debian/changelog which, despite its name, is
+	not really Debian-specific.  This section provides a large
+	overview.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Development on &OfflineIMAP; began on June 18, 2002.  Version
+	1.0.0 was released three days later on June 21, 2002.  Point
+	releases followed, including speed optimizations and some
+	compatibility fixes.
+      </para>
+      <para>Version 2.0.0 was released on July 3, 2002, and
+	represented the first time the synchronization became
+	multithreaded and, to the best of my knowledge, the first
+	multithreaded IMAP syncrhonizing application in existance.
+	The last 2.0.x release, 2.0.8, was made on July 9.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	Version 3.0.0 was released on July 11, 2002, and introduced
+	modular user interfaces and the first GUI interface for
+	&OfflineIMAP;.  This manual also was introduced with 3.0.0,
+	along with many command-line options.  Version 3.1.0 was
+	released on July 21, adding the Noninteractive user
+	interfaces, profiling support, and several bugfixes.  3.2.0
+	was released on July 24, adding support for the Blinkenlights
+	GUI interface.  &OfflineIMAP; entered maintenance mode for
+	awhile, as it had reached a feature-complete milestone in my
+	mind.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	The 3.99.x branch began in on October 7, 2002, to begin work
+	for 4.0.  The Curses.Blinkenlights interface was added in
+	3.99.6, and many architectural changes were made.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+	4.0.0 was released on July 18, 2003, including the ability to
+            synchronize directly between two IMAP servers, the first
+            re-architecting of the configuration file to refine the
+            notion of an account, and the new Curses interface.
