+7.4
+---
+
+* Fix DEFINED BY pprinting when invoking as __main__ module
+* Integer has ``tohex()`` for getting hexadecimal representation of its value
+
+.. _release7.3:
+
+7.3
+---
+
+* SEQUENCE/SET fully performs default value existence validation in
+ evgen mode, by the cost of DEFAULTed value full decoding. That should
+ not be the problem, as DEFAULTs are relatively small in practice. Now
+ evgen mode has the same DER validation strictness as an ordinary one
+
+.. _release7.2:
+
+7.2
+---
+
+* Restored workability of some command line options
+* 2-pass DER encoding mode with very little memory footprint
+
+.. _release7.1:
+
+7.1
+---
+
+* README updating
+
+.. _release7.0:
+
+7.0
+---
+* Fixed invalid behaviour where SET OF allowed multiple objects with the
+ same tag to be successfully decoded
+* Fixed possibly invalid SET DER encoding where objects were not sorted
+ by tag, but by encoded representation
+* ``Any`` does not allow empty data value now. Now it checks if it has
+ valid ASN.1 tag
+* ``SetOf`` is not treated as ready, if no value was set and minimum
+ bounds are greater than zero
+* ``Any`` allows an ordinary ``Obj`` storing, without its forceful
+ encoded representation storage. That is required for CER encoding
+ mode, where we do not know in advance what encoding will be used
+* ``ObjectIdentifier`` stores values as C unsigned long integer,
+ forbidding storage of huge integers, that must not be a problem in
+ practice
+* Initial support for so called ``evgen_mode``: event generation mode,
+ where no in-memory objects storing happens, giving ability to process
+ ASN.1 data without fully parsing it first. ``python -m pyderasn`` has
+ ``--evgen`` mode switcher
+* Useful ``agg_octet_string`` that is able to streamingly decode string
+ from events of ``evgen_mode``, allowing strings retrieving without
+ copying them to memory first
+* Initial experimental CER encoding mode, allowing streaming encoding of
+ the data directly to some writeable object
+* Ability to use mmap-ed memoryviews to skip files loading to memory
+* Ability to use memoryview as an input for \*Strings. If they are
+ mmap-ed, then you can encode any quantities of data streamingly
+ without copying to memory
+
+.. _release6.3:
+
+6.3
+---
+* Fixed workability under Python 3.5. Previously only 2.7 and 3.6
+ versions were tested
+
+.. _release6.2:
+
+6.2
+---
+* Python ``int()``'s accepts even more various non-decimal characters
+ than expected. Make validation fully strict in UTCTime and
+ GeneralizedTime, without relying on ``int()``
+
.. _release6.1:
6.1
* UTCTime and GeneralizedTime allowed values to have plus sign in them,
passing int() check successfully. Prohibit that incorrect behaviour
* UTCTime and GeneralizedTime BER decoding support
+* Faster UTCTime and GeneralizedTime decoding, and slightly better
+ overall performance
* Workability under Cython
* Explicitly Check that all ObjectIdentifier arcs are non-negative

-* Generic decoder's scheme and pretty printer
+* Generic decoder's schema and pretty printer
(:py:func:`pyderasn.generic_decoder`) can be used in libraries
* Ability to specify :ref:`defines_by_path <defines_by_path_ctx>`
during command line invocation
