-1.7-0 (NOT YET RELEASED)
+1.8-0
+  * autoformat, xalign, xdigits, xdisplay from Arni Magnusson, added
+    along with help file. Feature request #5686.
+  * New argument 'auto' in xtable(), to call xalign, xdigits, and
+    xdisplay at the time when xtable is created.
+  * Updated xtableGallery vignette, now with TOC and revised examples.
+
+1.7-4 (2014-09-11)
+  * Changed tags in HTML to be all lower case, to be compatible with
+    HTML5, part of feature request. (#5879)
+  * Fixed booktabs bug (#2309), more of an enhancement really. Updated
+    xtableGallery.snw to illustrate the change.
+
+1.7-3 (2014-03-06)
+  * Dealt with format.args bug (#4770). No code changes, but the
+    documentation of print.xtable was changed to warn of the problem
+    and to give a workaround as an example.
+
+1.7-1 (2013-02-24)
+  * Fixed logicals bug. (Req #1911)
+  * Changed implementation of centering of tables. Instead of
+    inserting a centered environment, now a \centering command is
+    inserted. (Req #2104)
+  * Allow for margin tables as possible with document class
+    tufte-handout. An example of usage is found in the vignette.
+    produced by margintable.Rnw which is in inst/doc. (Req #2168)
+  * Added "timestamp" argument to print.xtable().  Set it to NULL
+    if no timestamp is desired. (Req #2246)
+  * Added "comment" argument to print.xtable().  Set it to FALSE
+    to exclude the version and timestamp comment. (Req #2246)
+  * Added "caption.width" argument.  If not NULL then the caption
+    is placed in a "parbox" of the specified width. (Req #2247)
+  * Remove the check on whether the "floating.environment" is in a
+    list of known floating environments. Users want to use floating
+    environments from multiple options LaTeX packages. (Req #2488,
+    #2578)
+
+1.7-0 (2012-02-10)
   * Added some vectorization code to improve performance.
+  * Let "caption" be length 2, in which case the second value is
+    the short caption used when creating a list of tables.
   * Added "toLatex" method.
   * Included "print.xtable" in the exported methods in the NAMESPACE file.
   * Added "print.results" argument to "print" that can be used to
     suppress the printing.
   * Added "format.args" argument to "print" that can be used to
     pass additional arguments such as "big.marks" to "formatC()".
-  * Added "short.caption" argument to "print" to let the user 
-    specify a Latex short caption used when creating a list of tables.
-    Conceptually this should really be an argument to "xtable()", but
-    it was added to "print()" so authors of other packages don't need
-    to change their "xtable" methods.	
   * Added "rotate.colnames" and "rotate.rownames" arguments to
-    "print.xtable".  
-  * Added "booktabs" argument to use the "\toprule", "\midrule", and  
+    "print.xtable".
+  * Added "booktabs" argument to use the "\toprule", "\midrule", and
     "\bottomrule" tags from the Latex "booktabs" package rather than
-	using "\hline" for all horizontal lines.
+    using "\hline" for all horizontal lines.
+  * Added "scalebox" argument to include a "\scalebox" clause around
+    the tabular environment with the specified value used as the
+    scaling factor.
+  * Added "width" argument to allow specification of the width
+    value in tabular environments such as "tabularx".
+  * Added "X" as an allowed alignment value in the "align()"
+    replacement function.
   * Changed the "print.xtable()" arguments to use "getOption()"
     to check the options for a default value.  This was suggested
-	since "print.xtable()" has a lot of arguments that the user
-	will typically leave unchanged between tables.

   * Added an "is.null()" check on the "table.placement" argument.
-  * Added an example of header and footer specification with longtable
-    to the vignette.  
   * Added examples using the new arguments to the vignette.
