+Release 1.3.0
+=============
+
+* New options multimailhook.htmlInIntro and multimailhook.htmlInFooter
+  now allow using HTML in the introduction and footer of emails (e.g.
+  for a more pleasant formatting or to insert a link to the commit on
+  a web interface).
+
+* A new option multimailhook.commitBrowseURL gives a simpler (and less
+  flexible) way to add a link to a web interface for commit emails
+  than multimailhook.htmlInIntro and multimailhook.htmlInFooter.
+
+* A new public function config.add_config_parameters was added to
+  allow custom hooks to set specific Git configuration variables
+  without modifying the configuration files. See an example in
+  post-receive.example.
+
+* Error handling for SMTP has been improved (we used to print Python
+  backtraces for legitimate errors).
+
+* The SMTP mailer can now check TLS certificates when the newly added
+  configuration variable multimailhook.smtpCACerts.
+
+* Python 3 portability has been improved.
+
+* The documentation's formatting has been improved.
+
+* The testsuite has been improved (we now use pyflakes to check for
+  errors in the code).
+
+This version has been tested with Python 2.4 and 2.6 to 3.5, and Git
+v1.7.10-406-gdc801e7, 2.1.4 and 2.8.1.339.g3ad15fd.
+
+No change since 1.3 RC1.

+Customizing the content and formatting of emails
+================================================
+
+Overloading template strings
+----------------------------
+
+The content of emails is generated based on template strings defined
+in ``git_multimail.py``. You can customize these template strings
+without changing the script itself, by defining a Python wrapper
+around it. The python wrapper should ``import git_multimail`` and then
+override the ``git_multimail.*`` strings like this::
+
+  import sys  # needed for sys.argv
+
+  # Import and customize git_multimail:
+  import git_multimail
+  git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """..."""
+  git_multimail.COMBINED_INTRO_TEMPLATE = git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE
+
+  # start git_multimail itself:
+  git_multimail.main(sys.argv[1:])
+
+The template strings can use any value already used in the existing
+templates (read the source code).
+
+Using HTML in template strings
+------------------------------
+
+If ``multimailhook.commitEmailFormat`` is set to HTML, then
+git-multimail will generate HTML emails for commit notifications. The
+log and diff will be formatted automatically by git-multimail. By
+default, any HTML special character in the templates will be escaped.
+
+To use HTML formatting in the introduction of the email, set
+``multimailhook.htmlInIntro`` to ``true``. Then, the template can
+contain any HTML tags, that will be sent as-is in the email. For
+example, to add some formatting and a link to the online commit, use
+a format like::
+
+  git_multimail.REVISION_INTRO_TEMPLATE = """\
+  <span style="color:#808080">This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script.</span><br /><br />
+
+  <strong>%(pusher)s</strong> pushed a commit to %(refname_type)s %(short_refname)s
+  in repository %(repo_shortname)s.<br />
+
+  <a href="https://github.com/git-multimail/git-multimail/commit/%(newrev)s">View on GitHub</a>.
+  """
+
+Note that the values expanded from ``%(variable)s`` in the format
+strings will still be escaped.
+
+For a less flexible but easier to set up way to add a link to commit
+emails, see ``multimailhook.commitBrowseURL``.
+
+Similarly, one can set ``multimailhook.htmlInFooter`` and override any
+of the ``*_FOOTER*`` template strings.

+Troubleshooting issues with git-multimail: a FAQ
+================================================
+
+Git is not using the right address in the From/To/Reply-To field
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+First, make sure that git-multimail actually uses what you think it is
+using. A lot happens to your email (especially when posting to a
+mailing-list) between the time `git_multimail.py` sends it and the
+time it reaches your inbox.
+
+A simple test (to do on a test repository, do not use in production as
+it would disable email sending): change your post-receive hook to call
+`git_multimail.py` with the `--stdout` option, and try to push to the
+repository. You should see something like::
+
+  Counting objects: 3, done.
+  Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 263 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
+  Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

+<from-field>``).
