+Accomplishments
+---------------
+* RRDtool 1.3
+
+  * Migration form libart to Cairo/Pango is complete providing versatile
+    basis for graphical output.
+
+    - Improved stability
+    - PDF output with embeded TrueType fonts, equivalent to
+      what is seen in the standard PNG output.
+    - Anti-Aliasing can be disabled for 'rrdtool 1.0 look'
+    - Access to the standard font management system (fontconfig)
+      for access to a wide range of fonts.
+    - Inline markup, allowing font, color, size, boldness changes
+      in all text elements of the rrdtool output
+
+    Sample Output on http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/RRDtool13
+
+  * Performance Improvements. Working with contributors, the RRDtool
+    data access was switched to MMAP. Together with appropriate madvise
+    settings this lead to a massively log-update-performance, coupled with
+    better much better cache management.
+    
+    See http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/wiki/TuningRRD
+
+  RRDtool 1.3 beta will be released for LinuxWorld 2007.
+
+* RRDtool 1.4
+
+  * Research into a portable dataformat for RRDtool has shown a promising
+    implementation strategy.
