Version: 2007-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

according to[1], pst-char is now included into pst-text. It might be
cool to document it to your users (e.g. in a NEWS or README file), so
that they don't have to get and browse the whole source to figure out
what could have happened to it.

TIA. Cheers,

Well, they actually do that.  It might not be the most easily browsable
format, one file for each version plus an obsolete "CHANGES" file and a
nearly contentless "CHANGES.doc", but the information you were looking
for is actually in the most recent news file,
/usr/share/doc/texlive-pstricks/generic/pstricks/pstnews1-15.pdf
