= KMSCON Release News =
+CHANGES WITH 4:
+ * The "conf" subsystem was modularized so we can use it in other
+ binaries as well. It is also much easier to add new parameters now.
+
+ * Remove internal dependencies. Several subsystems will be split into
+ separate libraries (like eloop, uterm, vte+console) so we should avoid
+ any internal dependencies between these. This shouldn't affect
+ performance, though.
+
+ * New --seats argument which allows to specify what seats kmscon is
+ running on.
+
+ * The old vt.[ch] subsystem is now merged into uterm_vt.c and a fake VT
+ backend was added. This allows to activate/deactivate kmscon via
+ keyboard shortcuts. This is for debugging only, though.
+
+ * The VTE layer was extended a lot to support more advanced control
+ sequences and fix several bugs.
+
+ * --dumb now forces kmscon to use non-accelerated rendering
+
+ * The scrollback buffer now works. You can specify keyboard shortcuts
+ via --grab-* options. Default is: <Shift>Up/Down/Prior/Next
+
+ * GL_EXT_unpack_subimage is not required anymore.
+
+ * _Lots_ of speed improvements in the rendering path.
+
+ * The unifont font backend was added. This is similar to 8x16 but has a
+ lot more characters.
+
+ * ... and a lot of bugfixes
+
CHANGES WITH 3: (development release)
* VTE support has been improved greatly. vt220 should be supported fully
except for multi-line characters.
