+ * Charts are now rendered with colours from the Tango palette instead
+   of fully saturated primaries.
+
+ * PSPP can now read and write ZCOMPRESSED system files, a new format
+   variant that compresses data much more effectively than the
+   previous form of compression (which is still supported).
+
+ * Missing values for long string variables are now read from and
+   written to system files in an SPSS-compatible fashion.
+
+   (Earlier versions of PSPP that supported missing values for long
+   string variables wrote them to system files in an SPSS-incompatible
+   way.  To fix the problem, read the system file with this version of
+   PSPP and then save a new copy of it.)
+
+ * pspp-convert, a new standalone utility for converting SPSS system
+   and portable files to other formats, is now included.  The initial
+   version is only capable of converting to comma-separated value
+   files..
+
+ * Build changes:
+
+   - zlib is now a required dependency.  (Previously it was optional.)
