+Changes between gnuplot versions 3.7.2 and 4.0
+==============================================
+
+Below you find list of news, changes and fixes in gnuplot version 4.0
+and older.
+
+Please see also section "What is New in Version 4.0" in gnuplot documentation
+(files gnuplot.gih, gnuplot.hlp, gnuplot.inf, etc.) available by the command
+ gnuplot> help new
+from gnuplot 4.0. You may find it also in files gnuplot.pdf, gnuplot.html
+or gnuplot.info optionally available in your distribution, or online at
+ http://www.gnuplot.info/docs/gnuplot.html#What_is_New_in_Version_4.0
+
+
+Mouse and hotkey support in screen terminals
+
+ The pm, x11, ggi and windows terminals support interactive work with mouse
+ and hotkeys. The usage of the mouse is mainly self-explanatory. Just type 'h'
+ in the graph window (hereafter we mean either PM, X11, ... terminal window)
+ and a short overview of commands will pop up. The mouse is turned on and off
+ with the hotkey 'm'. See 'help mouse' and 'help bind' for more details.
+
+ The coordinates of mouse clicks are exported to variables MOUSE_X, MOUSE_Y,
+ MOUSE_X2, MOUSE_Y2, and MOUSE_BUTTON accessible from the gnuplot command
+ line. This allows gnuplot scripts to alter their behaviour based on
+ interactive mouse input. See 'help mouse variables' and 'help pause mouse',
+ and the example script demo/mousevariables.dem. Further it allows interaction
+ of a gnuplot mouseable terminal and external programs in C, Python, Octave,
+ etc. using gnuplot as their graph engine. This is demonstrated on gnuplot web
+ page in section "Programming interfaces - bidirectional interaction".
