-## Version 0.15
-

-## Version 0.13 (March 28, 2011)
-
-_New features_
-
-  - New `Volume` monitor displaying ALSA soundcards information, by
-    Thomas Tuegel.
-  - New `ThermalZone` plugin substituting `Thermal` and using linux's
-    *sysfs* interface (you need this one if you're using a kernel
-    version equal to or above 2.6.37). See [issue 44].
-  - xmobar app new has WM_CLASS, WM_NAME and _NET_WM_PID xprops
-    ([issue 38]).
-
-_Incompatible changes_
-
-  - In the process of solving [issue 14], we've broken those
-    configurations that rely on including alignment separators in the
-    input fed to `StdinReader`.
-  - The MPD plugin does not accept host and port options anymore: use
-    the environment variables MPD_HOST and MPD_PORT instead.
-  - The `Mail` plugin now takes a second parameter (a string)
-    specifying its alias. As a side-effect, this solves [issue 30].
-
-_Bug fixes_
-
-  - [issue 14]: `StdinReader` and other plugins accepting external
-    input don't get confused anymore when characters from `alignSep`
-    appear in their input.
-  - [issue 27]: `BottomSize` placement now respects its width argument.
-  - [issue 28]: Compilation in Mac OS X fixed.
-  - [issue 30]: `Mail` plugin can be specified anywhere in commands list.
-  - [issue 36]: Battery monitor now supports non-standard locations of
-    the `/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online` file.
-  - [issue 40]: Battery monitor now supports the new power_now, that
-    replaces current_now in linux kernels for v. 2.36 and above.
-  - [issue 42]: More accurate net monitor rates.
-  - DiskIO, Cpu and MultiCpu monitors are also more accurate now.
-  - Text is now correctly centered vertically.
-  - `FullBM` border spec fixed.
