+* TEXTALIGN command to alter default text alignment behavior
+
+* C API in-memory graphing with rrd_graph_v (Evan Miller)
+
+* draw dashed lines in graphs (Thomas Gutzler)
+
+* new interface graphv which returns information using the rrd_info
+ interface (Tobi Oetiker and Mark Plaksin)
+
+* improved horizontal grid. Have a bit more grid lines and y-axis
+ labels while keeping them far enough apart to not run into each
+ other.
+
+NEW Forecasting (Evan Miller)
+---------------
+* the new MHWPREDICT consolidation function uses a variation of the
+ Holt-Winters method. It is a drop-in replacement for HWPREDICT,
+ and is better suited for data whose seasonal variations grow or
+ shrink in proportion to the average.
+
+* If you create an RRD with the new MHWPREDICT function, the
+ resulting rrd file will be version 0004 and can only be used in
+ rrdtool 1.3.
+
+Rewrites
+--------
+* rrd_restore now uses libxml for parsing which makes things much
+ more tolerant towards xml variations. The old code could mostly
+ just parse the XML as it was output by rrdtool dump. See also:
+ the note at the bottom of this document. (by Florian octo
+ Forster)
+
+* rrd_update rewritten to make it more modular. Fixed two
+ longstanding HW bugs in the process (Evan Miller)
+
+Internationalization (Takao Fujiwara and Tobi Oetiker)
+--------------------
+* The help output by rrdtool has been internationalized. There are
+ no real translations included with rrdtool yet, contributions are
+ welcome.
+
+* The internationalization will only be compiled if libintl and
+ friends are available on your system. Use the configure option
+ --disable-libintl if you want to disable this feature
+
+Language Bindings
+-----------------
+* ruby rrd_fetch will return step as a last property -- Mike Perham
+
+RRDtool dump / restore incompatibility
+--------------------------------------
+* rrdtool dump 1.3 does emit completely legal XML. Basically this
+ means that it contains an XML header and a DOCTYPE definition.
+ Unfortunately this causes older versions of rrdtool restore to be
+ unhappy.
+
+* To restore a new dump with an old rrdtool restore version, either
+ remove the XML header and the doctype by hand (both on the first
+ line of the dump) or use rrdtool dump --no-header.
