+## 1.3
+
+* Added RGBA color parsing for GLSL code and directives (does not work within `#request` directives). The behaviour converts `#3ef708ff` -> `vec4(0.243, 0.967, 0.031, 1.0)`. If the alpha component is omitted, it is assumed to be `1.0`. The parsing occurs during compile time, so it does not incurr any performance penalty.
+* Fixed stray `[DEBUG]` messages that were errornously being printed
+* _Actually_ added support for GLFW 3.1, see issue #13
+* Fixed issue with some WMs not responding to GLava's window types and hints, see #17
+* Fixed alpha blending not working, `radial` and `circle` image quality should be drastically improved on `xroot` and `none` opacity settings.
+* Added `--version` command line flag

 ## 1.2
 
-* Added support for GLFW 3.1, see issue #13
+* Attempted to add support for GLFW 3.1, see issue #13
 * Added configurable solid background color, see #16
 * Fixed issue with excessive file reads from `~/.Xauthority` see #15

 ## [Configuration](https://github.com/wacossusca34/glava/wiki)
 
 GLava will start by looking for an entry point in the user configuration folder (`~/.config/glava/rc.glsl`\*), and will fall back to loading from the shader installation folder (`/etc/xdg/glava`\*). The entry point will specify a module to load and should set global configuration variables. Configuration for specific modules can be done in their respective `.glsl` files, which the module itself will include.
