-* Changes in the m17n library 0.9
+* Changes in the m17n library 1.3.0
+
+** New fucntions mtext_insert () and and mtext_replace () for
+modifying M-text.
+
+** New functions mtext_uppercase (), mtext_titlecase (),
+mtext_lowercase () implement "3.13 Default Case Operations" of The
+Unicode Standard 4.0.
+
+** New function mtext_line_break () implements the line breaking
+algorithm of The Unicode Standard 4.0 UAX#14.
+
+\f
+* Changes in the m17n library 1.2.0
+
+** Two new variables MTEXT_FORMAT_UTF_16 and MTEXT_FORMAT_UTF_32.
+They are initialized to one of MTEXT_FORMAT_UTF_16LE,
+MTEXT_FORMAT_UTF_16BE,  MTEXT_FORMAT_UTF_LE,  MTEXT_FORMAT_UTF_32BE
+dependending on the systems's endianess.
+
+** In the argument PLIST of mframe (), the key Mfont can be used to
+specify which font-backend to use.  The value must be Mx or Mfreetype.
+
+** New function mfont_list () returns a list of matching fonts.
+
+** New function m17n_status () returns the current initialization
+status.
+
+** New function minput_reset () resets the current input context.
+
+** Names of sample programs have prefix "m17n-" instead of single "m".
+This is to avoid confiliction of program names included in the other
+packages.
+
+\f
+* Changes in the m17n library 1.1.0
+
+** The "configure" script now detects Fontconfig, Xft2, and GD
+libraries.
+
+If Fontconfig library is found, the library find local font files
+(that are to be handled by the Freetype library) by fontconfig, and if
+Xft2 library is also found, draw text by Xft.
+
+** Mdevice (new symbol) is recoginized as a key in the argument PLIST
+of mframe ().
+
+The value must be Mx (new symbol), Mgd (new symbol), or Mnil.  See the
+documentation of mframe () for more detail.
+
+** MDrawControl has a new member `anti_alias'.
+
+If MDrawControl->anti_alias is nonzero, try to draw anti-aliased text
+if local fonts are used for that text via Freetype.  If Xft2 library
+can be used, the anti-alias processing is done by Xft2's drawing
+routine.  Otherwise, the m17n library itself does it by assumming that
+the background color is `background' property of a face.
+
+** Modification of face is now automatically refelected to the next
+drawing.
+
+So, for instance, an application can change the default face of a
+frame after the frame is created.  The sample program "medit" utilize
+it now.
+
+** New function mfontset_lookup () reports contents of a fontset.
+
+** New function mplist_deseriaze () parses an M-Text and generates a
+plist.
+
+** The functions mfont_name () and mfont_from_name () are now obsolete
+(still kept for backward compatibility).  Use mfont_parse_name () and
+mfont_unparse_name () instead.
+
+** The sample program "mdump" generates PNG image file instead of PBM.
+
+It now runs only when the m17n library is configured with the Freetype
+library and the GD library.
+
+\f
+* Changes in the m17n library 1.0
 
 ** Released.
