 Major Changes between 1.2.x and 1.3.x
+-------------------------------------
+
+RRdtool dump / restore Incompatibilities
+----------------------------------------
+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.
 
-see http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/RRDtool13
-for up to date information
+To restore a new dump with ann 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.

-Forecasting (Evan Miller)
+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
+  rrdfile 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 rrd_dump (by Florian octo Forster)
+  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)
 
-Misc
-----
+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
 
-Incompatibility
----------------
-* If you create an RRD with the new MHWPREDICT function, the resulting rrdfile will
-  be version 0004 and can only be used in rrdtool 1.3.
+* 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
 
-Locale Independent 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.
+* python bindings got updatev support --tobi
