   program assumes the list contains configuration statements.  If it
   is of any other type, the program declares an error.
 
+- Added the ability to test the *state* of boolean variables in the
+  existential conditionials (.ifall/any/none).  Previous versions of
+  'tconfpy' could only do this with an explict test like:
+
+   .if BooleanVar == True
+
+  It is now additionally possible to do logical testing like this:
+
+   .ifall [BooleanVar1] [BooleanVar2] ...
+
+  Previously, this would have amounted to '.ifall True False ...'
+  which likely would fail since the variables 'True' and 'False'
+  would not be defined.
+
+  As of this release, the semantics in the specific instance of
+  boolean dereferences during (any of) the existential conditional
+  tests have changed.  In this case the logical *state* of the
+  variables being tested is returned.  This is believed to be clearer
+  than doing explicit equality tests on booleans (though that ability
+  is still supported).
+
+  Note that the following construct continues to work as before:
+
+    .ifall BooleanVar1 BooleanVar2 ...
+
+  This tests to see if the variables actually *exist*.
