Changes:
? NASM is now under the 2-clause BSD license. See section 1.1.2.
? Fix the section type for the .strtab section in the elf64 output format.
? Fix the handling of COMMON directives in the obj output format.
? New ith and srec output formats; these are variants of the bin output format which output Intel hex and Motorola S-records, respectively. See section 7.2 and section 7.3.
? rdf2ihx replaced with an enhanced rdf2bin, which can output binary, COM, Intel hex or Motorola S-records.
? The Windows installer now puts the NASM directory first in the PATH of the "NASM Shell".
? Revert the early expansion behavior of %+ to pre-2.06 behavior: %+ is only expanded late.
? Yet another Mach-O alignment fix.
? Don't delete the list file on errors. Also, include error and warning information in the list file.
? Support for 64-bit Mach-O output, see section 7.8.
? Fix assert failure on certain operations that involve strings with high-bit bytes.

Hope it doesn't seem too silly to mention, but I did finally hack up a .BAT that will build NASM 2.07 for you without needing "./configure && make". In particular, NASM 2.07 uses Autoconf 2.63, which has a small typo (change "\\r" to "\r" to let config.status work correctly), so this may be a cleaner way to build it for you (although you still need C99 support, e.g. GCC 3.2.3 or newer).
