+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]
+* Documentation additions and improvements [Matthias Clasen, Martin
+ Pool]; add man pages for the included binaries. [Matthias]
+* Misc bug and build fixes [Josh Beam, Tony Graham, Kaushal Kumar,
