+Overview of changes between 1.2.x and 1.3.0
+===========================================
+* Share modules between the FT2 and Xft backend. Export PangoFcFont
+  and PangoFcFontMap base classes so that other fontconfig based
+  backends can be written and use these same modules.
+* Redo module system to use GTypeModule and work much like GTK+ theme
+  engines and input method modules.
+* Change modules to declare coverage by script, rather than by code
+  point. Add a ->covers callback so that modules can dynamically
+  decide whether they can cover a particular codepoint with a given
+  font. (This will allow multiple modules to handle a script for
+  different types fonts.)
+* Complete rewrite of itemization pass. Now uses script information to
+  improve language tags. This solves problems with incorrect language
+  tags resulting in drastically wrong fonts being selected by
+  fontconfig.
+* Add backspace-deletes-character PangoLogAttr; will allow proper
+  deletion behavior for non-Western scripts.  [Noah Levitt]
+* Add pango_fc_font_kern_glyphs(), which speeds up kerning a lot over
+  doing it pair-by-pair. [Soeren Sandmann]. Kern in the Xft backend as
+  well as the FT2 backend.
+* Remove the X font backend, except a minimal set of stubs to maintain
+  binary compatibility.
+* Many improvements to pangoft2topgm to allow displaying PangoMarkup,
+  saving to different file formats, etc.
+* Convert build system to automake-1.7; many cleanups and
+  improvements. [James Henstridge]

+  Pool]; add man pages for the included binaries.  [Matthias]
