 Changes from 1.2.0 to 1.3.0:
 
+ * PSPP now supports the SPSS viewer (.spv) format that SPSS 16 and later
+   use to save the contents of its output editor:
+
+   - PSPP and PSPPIRE can write output to .spv files.
+
+   - The new utility pspp-output can convert .spv files to other formats.
+
+   - The pspp-convert utility can now decrypt encrypted .spv files.  The
+     encrypted viewer file format is unacceptably insecure, so to
+     discourage its use PSPP and PSPPIRE do not directly read or write
+     this format.
+
  * A bug where the Data|Select Cases|Random Sample menu would generate
    invalid syntax has been fixed.
