   * Switch Finnish from XML-based to PO-based translation.
   * Bring numbering and layout of GPL more in line with original. With thanks
     to Holger Wansing.
+  * Add functionality to include optional paragraphs in translations.
+    Initially two have been defined:
+    - a paragraph in bookinfo for information about the translation;
+    - a note in appendix/gpl.xml required with unofficial GPL translations.
