-2.xx.xx
+2.14.3
+    Thanks to tpope for the following:
+    - use relative paths when doing edit commands if possible (useful if you
+      have %f on your statusline for example)
+    - allow relative paths for :NERDTree commands, eg ":NERDTree ../foo"
+    - fix a bug where the script used the directory of the current buffer
+      instead of vims cwd for the :NERDTree command
+    - bugfix for read only node highlighting
+
+2.14.2
+    - when opening a file (with 'o' or double click) dont split the window
+      unless we absolutely have to. This should make the script work better
+      with other explorer plugins. Thanks to Ryan Penn, Simon Peter Nicholls
+      and Michael
+    - fix a bug where directories starting with a '+' char could not be opened.
+      Thanks to Tomasz Chomiuk.
+    - fix a bug where closing vim with :qa with a tree open in another tab
+      would break, thanks to Denis Pokataev.
+    - compatibility bugfix for older versions of vim, thanks to knekk for
+      helping me track it down and to Sean Chou.

+2.14.1
