+----------------
+
+  * There's been changes in padding/spacing usage in styles. Frames
+    now surround stuff inside borders not with `spacing` pixels, but
+    with `padding_pixels. Spacing is only used to space things within
+    the borders (all the tabs and the client window from each other).
+    Consequently, custom styles may need to be updated to reflect this,
+    by increasing the padding, possibly also altering/removing colour 
+    (to set it to background colour). 
+
+  * The use of drawing engine attributes has also changed, and strict
+    ordering of them in the styles is no longer necessary. Additionally,
+    much more attributes are supported, including the name of every
+    statusbar meter.
+
+  * Xinerama support is gone. In addition to being problematic as such,
+    it had bit-rotted, and I will not waste time fixing it.
+
+  * `ioncore.set` no longer supports the `default_ws_params` parameter
+    for configuring the default layout. It is replaced by
+    `ioncore.deflayout("default", { ... })`, which allows configuring
+    other layouts as well, known by `mod_query.query_workspace` (F9).
+    Some default layouts are configured in `cfg_layout.lua`.
+
+  * It is now possible to automatically create new workspaces for
+    windows with the `new_group` winprop.
