+New in kss 1.4
+--------------
+
+- Major code refactoring, for better readibility and speedups.
+
+- Lots and lots of ecma unittests and selenium tests that test kss.core 
+  and the core plugin, are added. All are checkable from a single click 
+  from any browser.
+
+- Base2 is used for css selection, instead of the original cssQuery (if 
+  present). Significantly faster page load.
+
+- multiple selectors in the same rule are allowed, ie.::
+
+      selector1:click selector2:click { ... }
+      
+  or even::
+
+      selector1:keyup selector2:keydown { ... }
+
+- Value providers can be recursive, ie.::
+
+      nodeAttr(kssAttr(blah)) 
+
+  is allowed.
+
+- added url() special value provider, the first is alternate syntax for::
+
+      action-server: blah;
+      blah-kssUrl: "http://foo.bar/blahblah";
+
+  you can now say in one line::
+
+      action-server: blah url(http://foo.bar/blahblah);
+
+  This may be handy if you want to call @@ url-s.
+      
+- added alias() special value provider, this enables using more client 
+  actions on the same node::
+
+      action-client: setAttribute;
+      setAttribute-key: foo;
+      setAttribute-value: bar;
+      action-client: setAttribute alias(other);
+      other-key: foo2;
+      other-value: bar2; 
+
+- enable node selection in the same line as the action specification, ie. 
+  instead of::
+
+      action-client: foo;
+      foo-kssSelector: css(div.klass);
+
+  you can also say::
+
+      action-client: foo css(div.klass);
+
+- enable full form submits in the same line as the action specification, 
+  ie. instead of::
+
+      action-server: foo;
+      foo-kssSubmitForm: currentForm();
+
+  you can also say::
+
+      action-server: foo currentForm();
+
+- Value providers can be used also in the "event binder id", eg.
+  instead of the static binder id::
+
+      xxxxx:click(blah) { ... } 
+
+  a dynamic binder id can also be used::
+
+      xxxxx:click(kssAttr(blah)) { ... } 
+
+  This feature is needed for upcoming use cases like drag and drop.
+
+- Remove previously deprecated form() and
+  currentForm() value providers from normal
+  action parameters (remark: they should now
+  be used with xxx-kssSelector or directly on the action-client line as 
+  described above, and they properly support Zope multiform
+  fields like :list, :record, :records.)
+
+- Demos and selenium tests are removed from kss.demo and are now placed 
+  together with the plugin in kss.core. This means, all 3rdparty plugins
+  should now have a zope-only demo page with a selenium test, if the 
+  plugin is loaded the demo appears in the index and the test is run 
+  together with all tests. (Demos can be viewed and tested by kss.demo.) 
+  We also have kss.template that creates a skeleton kss plugin with
+  all bells and whistles.
+
+- Implement loglevels based on cookies (also backported to 1.2.)
+
+- Other fixes (also backported to 1.2)::
+
+   - Fix error fallback handling
+
+   - Fix multiple selection form fields marshalling on Safari and IE
+
