+2008-08-15 version 2.0.1:
+

+  protoc

+  * New flags --encode and --decode can be used to convert between protobuf text

+    format and binary format from the command-line.

+  * New flag --descriptor_set_out can be used to write FileDescriptorProtos for

+    all parsed files directly into a single output file.  This is particularly

+    useful if you wish to parse .proto files from programs written in languages

+    other than C++: just run protoc as a background process and have it output

+    a FileDescriptorList, then parse that natively.

+  * Improved error message when an enum value's name conflicts with another

+    symbol defined in the enum type's scope, e.g. if two enum types declared

+    in the same scope have values with the same name.  This is disallowed for

+    compatibility with C++, but this wasn't clear from the error.
+  * Fixed absolute output paths on Windows.

+  * Allow trailing slashes in --proto_path mappings.
+

+  C++

+  * Reflection objects are now per-class rather than per-instance.  To make this

+    possible, the Reflection interface had to be changed such that all methods

+    take the Message instance as a parameter.  This change improves performance

+    significantly in memory-bandwidth-limited use cases, since it makes the

+    message objects smaller.  Note that source-incompatible interface changes

+    like this will not be made again after the library leaves beta.

+  * Heuristically detect sub-messages when printing unknown fields.
+  * Fix static initialization ordering bug that caused crashes at startup when

+    compiling on Mac with static linking.
+  * Fixed TokenizerTest when compiling with -DNDEBUG on Linux.

+  * Fixed incorrect definition of kint32min.

+  * Fix bytes type setter to work with byte sequences with embedded NULLs.
+  * Other irrelevant tweaks.
+
+  Java

+  * Fixed UnknownFieldSet's parsing of varints larger than 32 bits.

+  * Fixed TextFormat's parsing of "inf" and "nan".

+  * Fixed TextFormat's parsing of comments.

+  * Added info to Java POM that will be required when we upload the

+    package to a Maven repo.
+
+  Python

+  * MergeFrom(message) and CopyFrom(message) are now implemented.

+  * SerializeToString() raises an exception if the message is missing required

+    fields.

+  * Code organization improvements.

+  * Fixed doc comments for RpcController and RpcChannel, which had somehow been

+    swapped.
+  * Fixed text_format_test on Windows where floating-point exponents sometimes

+    contain extra zeros.

+  * Fix Python service CallMethod() implementation.
+
+  Other
+  * Improved readmes.
+  * VIM syntax highlighting improvements.
