 New in this version
 -------------------
 
-0.10.0:
-Major improvements have taken place in this version, mostly for behind-
-the-scenes stuff. First, we have migrated to GCC for building the Windows
-CE port. This helped take care of some obscure compiler bugs which were
-in there for quite a long time. It has also lead to efficient code 
-generation due to GCC's advanced capabilities and consequently increased
-runtime speed. The second important change was the overhaul of the SDL
-library port. The benefits from this are twofold: The real-time code paths
-have been optimized, including contributed ARM assembly code for critical
-functions. Further, the screen display and mouse/keyboard input code has
-been partially rewritten to allow for increased compatibility across all
-devices.
-Due to the update of keyboard handling code, the keycodes have changed
-slightly. Running this version of ScummVM will overwrite your key bindings 
-with the new defaults. See the section on how to play on Smartphones and 
-Pocket PCs below for the new default keybindings.
+0.11.0
+- Redesigned 'Free Look' action (Pocket PCs)
+In order to accommodate for the requirements of the lure engine, the
+usage characteristics of the 'Free Look' action have been improved. The
+new behavior is available for use in all engines, but is is *strongly*
+recommended for at least when playing 'Lure of the Temptress'. By using
+the new scheme, when in 'Free Look' mode, it is now possible to enter 
+left clicks by clicking a second time near the current location of the 
+mouse pointer. Left and Right clicks at the current point location
+are also available by using the respective actions' bound key.
 
+- Reduced optimization build
+The ScummVM executable has grown quite large, prohibiting some devices
+from running memory demanding games (or any games at all). Code 
+optimization level has been reduced to offset the growth of the executable.
+Games run slightly slower. This will be addressed before next release.
+
+- Several bugfixes
