 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.
+
  * FREQUENCIES will emit a warning if one or more weight values are missing.
 
  * Plain text output is no longer divided into pages, since it is now
    rarely printed on paper.
 
- * pspp-convert: New "-a", "-l", "--password-list" options to search
-   for an encrypted file's password.
+ * The pspp-convert utility has new "-a", "-l", "--password-list"
+   options to search for an encrypted file's password.
 
  * Improvements to SAVE DATA COLLECTION support for MDD files.
