+changes in gnuradio-3.0rc1 relative to gnuradio-core-2.8 and related tarballs:
 
+* We moved the source code repository from CVS on savannah.gnu.org to
+  subversion on gnuradio.org
+* The build system was restructured such that there is now a single
+  top-level configure.  See ./configure --help for details.  All
+  top-level components may be required or excluded via configure
+  options.  By default configure includes all components for which the
+  dependencies are satisifed.
+* There is now uniform handling for a variety of digital modulations
+  and demodulations including gmsk, dbpsk and dqpsk.
+* dbpsk and dqpsk now work!  dqpsk still has a higher error-rate than
+  it should.
+* gr-radio-astronomy now has very cool code for observing pulsars!
+* gr-trellis: new module implementing a variety of forward error
+correction techniques.  See gnuradio-examples/python/channel-coding
+* gnuradio-core, usrp and gr-usrp now build and run under Cygwin.
+* Fixed 52 bugs
