 Features
 --------
 
-  Update our requirements to glib 2.14 and pixman 0.30.
+  Use Pixman's convolution filters for image downscaling, such as for
+  raster images in Inkscape SVG documents.  This improves image quality
+  when viewing large images on low resolution devices, as firefox and
+  chromium already do.
 
-  Use Pixman's convolution filters for image downscaling.  Include a
-  downscaling test.
+  Improve handling of device transformation and scaling, allowing Cairo
+  to now support scaling at a device level, permitting easier, more
+  transparent HiDPI support.
 
-  Improve handling of device transformation and scaling.  New public
-  functions cairo_surface_set_device_scale and
-  cairo_surface_get_device_scale are available.
-
-  Support JBIG2 mime data in PDF.
+  Support JBIG2 mime data in PDF.  This allows embedding of more
+  compressed JPEG formats within PDF, rather than including the full
+  uncompressed image.  Also, reduce the number of transparency groups
+  used by PDF to keep the file size small and viewing/printing of the
+  PDF fast.
 
-  If the group contains only a combination of clear and opaque alpha and
-  only OPERATOR_OVER is used in the group and to paint the group, a
-  transparency group is not required when generating pdf.
+  Expand the embedding section to include stencil mask support.
 
-  Add support for stencil masks with jpeg/jpx/jbig2 embedding in PDFs.
+  Reorder font declarations to be in natural order.
 
-  Optimize PDF images where the source and mask are both images with the
-  same extents.
 
-  Reorder font declarations to be in natural order
+API Changes
+-----------
+  New public functions cairo_surface_set_device_scale and
+  cairo_surface_get_device_scale are available.
 
-  Alter the rounding algorithm for converting floating point numbers to
-  integers to incur less error
 
-  In matrix transformations, round extremely small values to zero
+Dependency Changes
+------------------
 
+  Cairo now requires glib 2.14 for its gobject helper functions,
+  and pixman 0.30 for downscaling.
