 ** New features
 
+  general: po4a now uses timestamps to avoid re-generating a translation
+           if no changes are expected: if a translation is more recent
+           than its associated PO and master document, then there is no
+           need to update it. For the documents which do not pass the
+           translation threshold, a file is created with the .po4a-stamp
+           extension. This file is also used as a timestamp file, and
+           permits to avoid spending time if po4a expect that the
+           translation will not be generated.
+
   general: Beginning of a C extension. This provides speedup. Testers are
            welcomed.
