-    - Several major speed optimizations
-    - Introduction of support for I/O mapping between Perl and Java
+0.51
+    - Inline::Java now requires Perl 5.8.0 or greater.
+    - Several major speed optimizations.
+    - Introduction of support for I/O mapping between Perl and Java (Inline::Java::Handle)
     - Applied patches by Andrew Bruno and Tim Bunce for MAC OSX
     - JNI fix for system property passing
         (thanks to Brian Gugliemetti and Jason Stelzer)
+    - Added NATIVE_DOUBLES configuration option to avoid loss of precision
+      whne passing double values between Perl and Java
     - Other minor bug fixes

+=item NATIVE_DOUBLES
+
+Normally, C<Inline::Java> stringifies floating point numbers when passing 
+them between Perl and Java. In certain cases, this can lead to loss of
+precision. When NATIVE_DOUBLES is set, C<Inline::Java> will send the actual
+double bytes in order to preserve precision. 
+Note: This applies only to doubles, not floats.
+Note: This option may not be portable and may not work properly on some
+platforms.
