-* 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: 'incompatibilities' at the
- top 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
-
-* python rrdtool.info does now conform with the data structure returned
- by the other language bindings. This is incompatible with the
- previous (broken) version --tobi
-
-* python bindings got updatev support --tobi
-
-* ruby, perl, python bindings support the new graphv interface --tobi
-
-Locale Independent Numeric Input
---------------------------------
-* Regardles of locale you are in, rrdtool always expects input to be numbers
- (LC_NUMERIC) in C or POSIX locale for numbers. (not 1,1 but 1.1) this is
- necessary to make things like RPN work as it uses , as a separator.

-######################################################################################
-Major Changes between 1.0.x and 1.2.x
-======================================================================================
-Graphing
---------
-
-* rewritten graphics generation based on libart.
- - anti-aliased output
- - alpha transparency support
- - truetype fonts
-
-* additional graphics formats: EPS, PDF, SVG
-
-* extended multi-part documentation
-
-* VDEF support; define and use variables. Find, and use, the
- maximum rate seen by rrdtool; compute and show the average
-
-* Sliding window (trend) analysis
- Compute a smoother average, for instance over the last 6 CDPs
-
-* percentile (95th or other)
- Remove peaks, 95 percent of all rates are at or below the
- returned value
-
-Logging
--------
-* a second logging interface: rrdtool updatev
- Verbose updating of the database; show CPDs being created
-
-* Aberrant Behavior Detection with Holt-Winters Forecasting
- Compare current data with expected data, detect and log when
- the rates are outside expected levels
-
-* COMPUTE data type for artificial data-sources calculating their
- input using RPN math and data from the other data-sources.
-
-Incompatibilities
------------------
-* Colons in COMMENT arguments to rrdtool graph must be escaped with a backslash
-
-* the --alt-y-mrtg option is gone or rather since 1.2.7 it is back but
- without functionality.
-
-* In pipe mode, rrdtool answers with OK only if it was successful with the
- command. Otherwhise the answer will be ERROR...
-
-
-Behind the Scenes
------------------
-* In order to support Holt-Winters and Calculated Datasources,
- the rrdtool data format 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.
