+Major Changes between 1.2.x and 1.3.x
+-------------------------------------
+
+NEW Fast file access methods (Bernhard Fischer / Tobi Oetiker)
+----------------------------
+* introduced file-accessor functions rrd_read/rrd_seek/rrd_write
+
+* implemented full mmap-based file access with madvise hints for
+ improved scalability, much reduced memory-footprint and much less
+ blocking while accessing the disk
+
+* implemented optional full file-descriptor access instead of FILE*
+ access
+
+NEW Graphing (Tobi Oetiker)
+------------
+* libart has been replaced by cairo/pango
+
+* pango markup is supported (--pango-markup)
+
+* full grid fitting
+
+* --graph-render-mode=mono for non anti aliased graphing
+
+* --font-render-mode=mono for non anti aliased fonts
+
+* fonts come through fontconfig, use the Pango font naming scheme
+ -> 'Times 20' ... it is not possible to use true-type fonts
+ directly anymore.
+
+* Tabs are position independent.
+
+* TRENDNAN filter that ignores NAN values while calculating the
+ TREND data. (Timo Stripf)
