This file is a record of all of the significant changes to the Interlisp Reference Manual files. This should be periodically updated, so that when the next version of the manual is released, it will be possible to publish a list of the changes. Terminology note: In the list below, when something is "put in a note", it is still in the file, but it will not appear in the manual --- It is essentially de-documented.
