+* Breaking news
+
+ - Starting with version 0.45 we use cairo/pango as our drawing engine
+ (instead of plain X11/Xft). From a user's point of view, that change
+ should be mostly transparent, except for the facts that it's allowed
+ fixing quite a few bugs and that your /font names/ in your configuration, if
+ you used ~xft~ ones, might need to be adapted to Pango's syntax: please see
+ [[./doc/quick-start.org#fonts][this section of the documentation]] for all the details. If you're
+ compiling your own xmobar, there's a new dependency on libpango (see
+ [[./doc/compiling.org#c-libraries][C library dependencies]]).
