+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Version 0.3 by Piotr Ba�ski and Beata W�jtowicz (30-dec-2008) is a thorough 
+upgrade from version 0.0.2 -- the dictionary got cleaned, extended and 
+marked up in TEI P5. Many lexicographic features have been introduced, 
+for details refer to the dictionary header.
+
+The dictionary forms a package together with:
+
+* the TEI ODD (One-Document-Doesitall) file freedict_swa-eng.xml, from 
+which schemas and documentation can be derived, by feeding the file 
+into the Roma utility at http://www.tei-c.org/Roma/
+
+* a CSS file freedict-dictionary.css that makes the raw dictionary look more pleasant
+
+* two schema files, RNG and DTD, derived from the ODD but supplied here
+in case access to Roma is not available.
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+Version 0.0.2 by Beata W�jtowicz was based on Swahili-Kiswahili to English 
+Translation Program by Morris Fried (www.dict.org/links.html), 
+which has been supplemented by entries from an older version
+of the Freedict Swahili-English Dictionary
+created by Horst Eyermann (http://www.freedict.de) from 
+the Swahili-Esperanto and Esperanto-English Ergane dictionaries (http://www.travlang.com).
+The conversion of Fried's dictionary to DICT format and merging 
+it with Eyermann's Ergane-based dictionary
+has been done, with some help of Computer Science colleagues,
+by Beata Wojtowicz (wierzchob@wp.pl) in June 2004. 
+The part of speech information for version 0.0.2 was taken from the Swahili-Kiswahili 
+to English Translation Program and added to the entries from Freedict 
+Swahili-English Dictionary.
