+2008.02.25      v0.6-rc2
+
+Tagging -rc2. We've made a big change to the TEXTURE lump definitions.
+We cut out all the multi-patch definitions as they were copied from
+the doom data.  We made the decision not to cut out the single patch
+definitions, as those are effectively a naming scheme (a 1-1
+translation from patches to textures) and not copyrightable.
+
+The texture data has been re-implemented using a cleanroom tool
+(available in tools/cleanroom).
