+Flot 0.x
+--------
+
+Changes:
+
+- Added support for disabling interactivity for specific data series
+  (request from Ronald Schouten and Steve Upton).
+
+- Flot now calls $() on the placeholder and optional legend container
+  passed in so you can specify DOM elements or CSS expressions to make
+  it easier to use Flot with libraries like Prototype or Mootools.
+
+- A new "plotselecting" event is now emitted while the user is making
+  selection.
+
+- Added a new crosshairs feature for tracing the mouse position on the
+  axes, enable with crosshair { mode: "x"} (see the new tracking
+  example for a use).
+  
+- The "plothover" event is now emitted immediately instead of at most
+  10 times per second, you'll have to put in a setTimeout yourself if
+  you're doing something really expensive on this event.
+
+- The built-in date formatter can now be accessed as
+  $.plot.formatDate(...) (suggestion by Matt Manela) and even
+  replaced.
+
+- Added "borderColor" option to the grid (patch from Amaury Chamayou
+  and patch from Mike R. Williamson).
+
+- Added support for gradient backgrounds for the grid, take a look at
+  the "setting options" example (based on patch from Amaury Chamayou,
+  issue 90).
+
+- Gradient bars (suggestion by stefpet).
+  
+- Added a "plotunselected" event which is triggered when the selection
+  is removed, see "selection" example (suggestion by Meda Ugo);
+
+- The option legend.margin can now specify horizontal and vertical
+  margins independently (suggestion by someone who's annoyed).
+
+- Data passed into Flot is now copied to a new canonical format to
+  enable further processing before it hits the drawing routines. As a
+  side-effect, this should make Flot more robust in the face of bad
+  data (and fixes issue 112).
+
+- Step-wise charting: line charts have a new option "steps" that when
+  set to true connects the points with horizontal/vertical steps
+  instead of diagonal lines.
+
+- Thresholding: you can set a threshold and a color, and the data
+  points below that threshold will then get the color. Useful for
+  marking data below 0, for instance.
+
+- The legend labelFormatter now passes the series in addition to just
+  the label (suggestion by Vincent Lemeltier).
+
+- Horizontal bars (based on patch by Jason LeBrun).
+
+- Support for partial bars by specifying a third coordinate, i.e. they
+  don't have to start from the axis. This can be used to make stacked
+  bars.
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+- Fixed two corner-case bugs when drawing filled curves (report and
+  analysis by Joshua Varner).
+- Fix auto-adjustment code when setting min to 0 for an axis where the
+  dataset is completely flat on that axis (report by chovy).
+- Fixed a bug with passing in data from getData to setData when the
+  secondary axes are used (issue 65, reported by nperelman).
+- Fixed so that it is possible to turn lines off when no other chart
+  type is shown (based on problem reported by Glenn Vanderburg), and
+  fixed so that setting lineWidth to 0 also hides the shadow (based on
+  problem reported by Sergio Nunes).
+- Updated mousemove position expression to the latest from jQuery (bug
+  reported by meyuchas).
+- Use borders instead of background in legend (fix printing issue 25
+  and 45).
+- Explicitly convert axis min/max to numbers.
+- Fixed a bug with drawing marking lines with different colors
+  (reported by Khurram).
+- Fixed a bug with returning y2 values in the selection event (fix
+  by exists, issue 75).
+- Only set position relative on placeholder if it hasn't already a
+  position different from static (reported by kyberneticist, issue 95).
+- Don't round markings to prevent sub-pixel problems (reported by Dan
+  Lipsitt).
+- Make the grid border act similarly to a regular CSS border, i.e.
+  prevent it from overlapping the plot itself. This also fixes a
+  problem with anti-aliasing when the width is 1 pixel (reported by
+  Anthony Ettinger).
+- Imported SVN version of excanvas and fixed an issue with the newer
+  version. Hopefully, this will make Flot work with IE8 (nudge by
+  Fabien Menager).
+- Changed the shadow code for lines to hopefully look a bit better
+  with vertical lines.
+- Round tick positions to avoid possible problems with fractions
+  (suggestion by Fred, issue 130).
