+Logging
+-------
+* In addition to the PNG format, rrdtool
+ can produce output in SVN, EPS and PDF format.
+Behind the Scenes
+-----------------
+* In order to support Holt-Winters and Calculated Datasources,
+ the rrdtool dataformat has changed. While the new version of rrdtool can
+ read files created with rrdtool 1.0.x. It is not possible to read files
+ created by rrdtool-1.2.x with rrdtool-1.0.x
+
+* External libraries are not included with rrdtool anymore. This is in line
+ with todays trend of using shared libraries everywhere. With the exception
+ of the cgi library most things required by rrdtool will be found on every recent
+ system.
+
+
+ Configure and Makefiles and accordingly.
