 BUG FIXES
 
-    o read.dna() failed to read interleaved files if the first line
-      uses tabulations instead of white spaces.
+    o read.dna() failed to read Phylip files if the first line used
+      tabulations instead of white spaces.
+
+    o read.dna() failed to read Phylip or Clustal files with less than
+      10 nucleotides failed. (See other changes in this function
+      below.)
 
 OTHER CHANGES
 
+    o read.dna() now requires at least one space (or tab) between the
+      taxa names and the sequences (whatever the length of taxa
+      names). write.dna() now follows the same rule.
+
     o The files ape-defunct.R and ape-defunct.Rd, which have not been
       modified for almost two years, have been removed.
 
     o The C code of bionj() has been reworked: it is more stable (by
       avoiding passing character strings), slightly faster (by about
-      20%), and more accurate numerically.
+      20%), and numerically more accurate.
 
     o The C code of fastme.*() has been slightly modified and should
       be more stable by avoiding passing character strings (the
