+ijs for Debian
+--------------
+
+This is a development release of the IJS (InkJet Server) library, which
+is used to write ghostscript drivers.
+
+As IJS is continually changing, libtool's `-release' scheme of versioning
+is used. This means that binary compatibility will break with every new
+release, due to the `soname' changing. If you Build-Depend upon libijs,
+you should either depend upon a specific version if libijs-dev or use an
+unversioned build dependency if you want to build with any version (but
+this may cause problems if the API changes). Once the IJS protocol and
+library are frozen, I hope that a properly versioned shared library can
+be packaged.
