+Notable changes in 0.33 since 0.32
+==================================
+
+* Python 3 is now required, in particular 3.7 or newer.
+
+* The version of Python is no longer determined by the value of
+  `PYTHON` during `./configure`.  It is now determined by the version
+  of `python-config` selected during configuration.  The
+  `BUP_PYTHON_CONFIG` environment variable can be set during
+  configuration to select a particular executable
+  (e.g. `BUP_PYTHON_CONFIG=python3.9-config ./configure`).  See the
+  `README` for further details.
+
+* The `bup` executable is now a binary rather than a Python script.
+  Practically speaking, this means that the Python version is
+  determined by the `libpython` that the executable is linked against
+  (selected via `python-config`), and it means that bup will show up
+  as "bup" in process listings rather than a python invocation.
+
+* The output of `bup ls` for multiple paths includes each path before
+  its contents, more closely matching the system `ls`.
+
+* The `bup ftp` `ls` command should now respect the working directory
+  (set by `cd`), and that directory has been added to the prompt.
+
+* Some minor changes have been made to `bup web`'s interface.
+
+* The `index-cache` is no longer included in the `bup midx` `--dir`
+  default.
+
+* Performance may have improved after the relocation of a number of
+  operations from Python to C, and a number of improvements to the
+  VFS.
+
+* The `#bup` IRC channel has moved to https://libera.chat/.
+
+Bugs
+----
+
+* Bup should now respect the current umask, directory sgid bit,
+  etc. when creating new files (e.g. new packfiles).  Previously, it
+  would create them via mkstemp, which would cause them to be readable
+  only by the current user.
+
+* Bup should now be able to handle repositories containing signed
+  commits.
+
+* `bup tag` has been changed to rely on `git update-ref` instead of
+  writing the (loose) refs directly so that it can handle packed refs
+  correctly.
+
+* `bup save` should be more careful about noting an error and skipping
+  paths whose type (link, regular file, ...) has changed since
+  indexing.
+
+* There should no longer be a narrow window where `save` could store
+  conflicting symlink targets or conflicting sizes (in the metadata
+  record and the packfile symlink blob) for a path if the filesystem
+  changed at just the wrong time during a save.
+
+* `bup fuse` should no longer become unusable after an unfinished read
+  of commits associated with tags.  The underlying VFS issue may have
+  affected other commands too.
+
+* Bup's packfile names should now match git's.  Previously bup
+  computed the SHA1 from just the sorted object list
+  (cf. `git-index-pack(1)`), but git appears to include the entire
+  pack file in the hash.
+
+* Passing idx files to `bup midx` along with `--dir` should now work
+  correctly.
+
+* The `bup index --print --long ...` mode fields should now be
+  formatted correctly with Python 3 (it changed the `oct()` format).
+
+* Resource usage (e.g. memory) may have improved, given a number of
+  changes intended to make bup release resources more carefully and
+  sooner.
+
+Build and install
+-----------------
+
+* As mentioned above, `PYTHON`'s role during configuration has been
+  replaced by `BUP_PYTHON_CONFIG`.
+
+* `./configure` now supports `--with-pylint=[yes|no|maybe]`.
+
+* Any `CC`, `CPPFLAGS`, `CFLAGS`, or `LDFLAGS` set during
+  `./configure` should now be preserved across future make
+  invocations.
+
+* The build process should now work on systems where `make` isn't GNU
+  Make (the `Makefile` automatically redirects to `GNUmakefile`).
+
+* The `PANDOC` path can contain spaces.
