 Major Changes between 1.2.x and 1.3.x
+-------------------------------------
 
-File access methods
--------------------
+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 on
-  disk
-* implemented optional full file-descriptor access instead of FILE* access

+* 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 * libart has been replaced by cairo/pango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
-* full gridfitting 
-* --graph-render-mode=mono for non antialiased graphing
-* --font-render-mode=mono for non antialiased fonts
 
+* pango markup is supported (--pango-markup)
 
-RRDTOOL NEWS
-============
-Major Changes between 1.0.x and 1.2.x
+* 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 nameing scheme
+  -> 'Times 20' ... it is not possible to use truetype fonts
+  directly anymore.
+
+* Tabs are position independent.
+
+* TRENDNAN filter that ignores NAN values while calculating the
+  TREND data. (Timo Stripf)
+
+* --full-size-mode to specify the outer border of the image and not
+  just of the graphing canvas (Matthew Chambers)
 
+* 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.
