Here are the release notes:

    * GB0BWT, GB1EPC and GB5BBS are all Scotland, GM
    * GB200A is Wales, GW
    * GB2ELH is Shetland, GM/s, not Scotland, GM
    * GB2MAD and GB4MNH are both Isle of Man, GD
    * Updated all Shetland callsigns (thanks Hans MM0XAU)

    * VK9CL and VK9GL are both new prefixes for Lord Howe I., VK9L
    * VK9CN is a new prefix for Norfolk I., VK9N
    * VP6DX will be used from Ducie I., VP6/d in 2008

The country files now contain a version string. Under the prefix list
for Canada, there is a new "callsign" that looks like:

    VERyyyymmdd

This will encode the date the country file was released: "yyyy"
represents the 4-digit year, "mm" the 2-digit numerical month (01-12)
and "dd" the 2-digit day of the month (01-31). This feature will be used
by CC Cluster <http://www.bcdxc.org/ve7cc/ccc/cluster.htm> to determine
when a new country file has been uploaded.

This version number is not related to the CTY release version number:

    CTY-yynn

where "yy" represents the number of years since 1990, and nn is the
numerical release number within that year (starting at 01).
