Version 3.0
	2015-09-01
	* Kill RPC backends and rpc.rigd/rpc.rotd
	* Remove -e|--end-marker option from rigctld and rotctld
	* Build system updates--remove obsolete macros, autogen.sh now
		runs autoreconf to invoke Autotools to bootstrap the build
		system, libltdl is installed into the source tree as a part
		of the build system bootstrap and is included in the source
		tarball, ABI version is set to be compatible with the 1.2
		series, all Autotools installed files are copied rather than
		symlinked and put in the build-aux directory, building
		rigmem and rigmatrix are now user selectable at configure
		run time, building static libraries are disabled by default.
		Fixed TCL binding installation, fixed Perl binding build so it
		is not invoked by 'make dist' and clean up build files.  Cleaned
		up bindings builds to occur in alphabetical order.  Use new
		ax_pkg_swig macro and update ax_python_devel macro.  Test for
		presence of pkg-config before testing for pkg-config use.
	* Implement new RIT/XIT activation/deactivation through rig_get/set_func()
	* IC-PCR1500/2500 default write_delay to 0, IC-746/756, IC-PCR8500
		fixes, pcr.c, pcr1500.c: Add DSP support.  TNX Paul, KE7ZZ
	* WinRadio G313 updates.  TNX Julian Campbel
	* Readline editing and history support added to rigctl interactive
		mode.  Implement options for reading and writing history file.
	* Readline editing and history support added to rotctl interactive
		mode.  Implement options for reading and writing history file.
	* A new manual draft written in Texinfo added.  Both GNU Info and single
		HTML files are built and distributed, requires makeinfo.
	* Android build system support.  See android/README.android.  Android
		Makefile fragments are included in source tarballs.
	* Monolithic library, thanks to Remi Chateauneu for the majority of
		the work!  This allows enabling of a single static library so
		static libs are enabled by default.  Removes dependency on libltdl.
	* Fixes to easycomm, TNX Steve AI4QR.
	* Fixes to port handling allowing PTT and CAT on the same port.  TNX
		Bill, G4WJS.
	* New Peaberry models V1 and V2 added to kit backend.  TNX ON8VQ
		and R2AEE.
	* New IC-7100 model.  TNX Martin, CT1IQI.
	* Use AC_CHECK_LIB macro to search for libusb rather than rely on
	    pkg-config.  Preserve environment variables LIBUSB_CFLAGS and
	    LIBUSB_LIBS as user precious variables.  Two features,
	    --with-xml-support and --enable-usrp still rely on pkg-config so
	    only invoke pkg-config when either or both of these features are
	    selected.  Only the Winradio g313 model uses libdl so test for it
	    only when Winradio backend is enabled.
	* New IC-M700PRO, IC-M710, IC-M802.
	* New Icom ID-5100 model.
	* New rotor, cnctrk by KI4SBL
	* Many backend fixes and updates from many contributors (see Git
	  log for complete details).
