+Overview of Changes in 4.13.6, 25-01-2024
 =========================================
 
+This release changes the ngl renderer to be the default renderer.
+
+The intent of this change is to get wider testing and verify that
+the new renderers are production-ready. If significant problems
+show up, we will revert this change for 4.14.
+
+You can still override the renderer choice using the GSK_RENDERER
+environment variable.
+
+Since ngl can handle fractional scaling much better than the old gl
+renderer, we allow fractional scaling by default with gl now. If you
+are using the old gl renderer (e.g. because your system is limited to
+GLES2), you can disable fractional scaling by setting the GDK_DEBUG
+environment variable to include the gl-no-fractional key.
