 Usually one might expect lots of new features AND a big increase in size

+for a major release like this.
 
 However, this release is smaller than the latest 0.2.x releases. The
 decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some graphical tools
 (which were only quick hacks anyway). But also the fact that the
 mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.
