       <p><em>This section is not normative.</em>
       <p>
         This document introduces new CSS features to enable <em>implicit transitions</em>, which describe how CSS properties can be made to change smoothly from one value to another over a given duration.
       </p>
 <h2 id="transitions"><a id="transitions-">Transitions</a></h2>
       <p>
         Normally when the value of a CSS property changes, the rendered result is instantly updated, with the affected elements immediately changing from the old property value to the new property value. This section describes a way to specify transitions using new CSS properties. These properties are used to animate smoothly from the old state to the new state over time.
       </p>
       <p>
         For example, suppose that transitions of one second have been defined on the 'left' and
         'background-color' properties. The following diagram illustrates the effect of updating those properties on an element, in this case moving it to the right and changing the background from red to blue. This assumes other transition parameters still have their default values.
       </p>
       <div class="figure">
         <img src="transition1.png" alt="">
       </div>
       <p class="caption">
         Transitions of 'left' and 'background-color'
       </p>
       <p>
         Transitions are a presentational effect. The computed value of a property transitions over time from the old value to the new value. Therefore if a script queries the computed style of a property as it is transitioning, it will see an intermediate value that represents the current animated value of the property.
       </p>
       <p>
         Only animatable CSS properties can be transitioned. See the table at the end of this document for a list
         of properties that are animatable.
       </p>
       <p>
         The transition for a property is defined using a number of new properties. For example:
       </p>
       <div class="example">
         <p style="display:none">
           Example(s):
         </p>
         <pre>
   div {
     transition-property: opacity;
     transition-duration: 2s;
   }
   </pre>The above example defines a transition on the 'opacity' property that, when a new value is assigned to it, will cause a smooth change between the old value and the new value over a period of two seconds.
       </div>
       <p>
         Each of the transition properties accepts a comma-separated list, allowing multiple transitions to be defined, each acting on a different property. In this case, the individual transitions take their parameters from the same index in all the lists. For example:
       </p>
       <div class="example">
         <p style="display:none">
           Example(s):
         </p>
         <pre>
   div {
     transition-property: opacity, left;
     transition-duration: 2s, 4s;
   }
   </pre>This will cause the 'opacity' property to transition over a period of two seconds and the left property to transition over a period of four seconds.
       </div>
       <p id="list-matching">
         In the case where the lists of values in transition properties
         do not have the same length, the length of the
         'transition-property' list determines the number of items in
         each list examined when starting transitions.  The lists are
         matched up from the first value: excess values at the end are
         not used.  If one of the other properties doesn't have enough
         comma-separated values to match the number of values of
         'transition-property', the UA must calculate its used value by
         repeating the list of values until there are enough.  This
         truncation or repetition does not affect the computed value.
         <span class="note">
           Note: This is analogous to the behavior of the 'background-*'
           properties, with 'background-image' analogous to
           'transition-property'.
         </span>
       </p>
       <div class="example">
         <p style="display:none">
           Example(s):
         </p>
       <pre>
       div {
         transition-property: opacity, left, top, width;
         transition-duration: 2s, 1s;
       }
       </pre>The above example defines a transition on the 'opacity' property of 2 seconds duration, a
       transition on the 'left' property of 1
       second duration, a transition on the 'top' property of 2 seconds duration and a
       transition on the 'width' property of 1
       second duration.
       </div>
       <p>
         While authors can use transitions to create dynamically changing content,
         dynamically changing content can lead to seizures in some users.
         For information on how to avoid content that can lead to seizures, see
         <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#seizure">Guideline 2.3:
         Seizures:
         Do not design content in a way that is known to cause seizures</a>

       </div>
       <p>
         A value of ''none'' means that no property will transition.
         Otherwise, a list of properties to be transitioned, or the
         keyword ''all'' which indicates that all properties are to be
         transitioned, is given.
       </p>
       <p>
         If one of the identifiers listed is not a recognized property
         name or is not an animatable property, the implementation must
         still start transitions on the animatable properties in the
         list using the duration, delay, and timing function at their
         respective indices in the lists for 'transition-duration',
         'transition-delay', and 'transition-timing-function'.  In other
         words, unrecognized or non-animatable properties must be kept in
         the list to preserve the matching of indices.
       </p>
       <p>
         The keywords ''none'', ''inherit'', and ''initial'' are not
         permitted as items within a list of more that one identifier;
         any list that uses them is syntactically invalid.
         In other words, the &lt;IDENT&gt; production in
         <span>&lt;single-transition-property&gt;</span> matches any
         identifier other than these three keywords.
       </p>
       <p>
         For the keyword ''all'', or if one of the identifiers listed is a
         shorthand property, implementations must start transitions for
         any of its longhand sub-properties that are animatable (or, for
         ''all'', all animatable properties), using the duration, delay,
         and timing function at the index corresponding to the shorthand.
       </p>
       <p>
         If a property is specified multiple times in the value of
         'transition-property' (either on its own, via a shorthand that
         contains it, or via the ''all'' value), then the transition that
         starts uses the duration, delay, and timing function at the
         index corresponding to the <em>last</em> item in the value of
         'transition-property' that calls for animating that property.
       </p>
       <p class="note">
         Note:  The ''all'' value and 'all' shorthand
         property work in similar ways, so the
         ''all'' value is just like a shorthand that
         covers all properties.

         This property specifies how long the transition from the old value to the new value should take. By default the value is ''0s'', meaning that the transition is immediate (i.e. there will be no animation). A negative value for 'transition-duration' renders the declaration invalid.

         The 'transition-timing-function' Property
       </a></h3>
       <p>
         The 'transition-timing-function' property
         describes how the intermediate values used during a transition will be
         calculated. It allows for a transition to change speed over its
         duration. These effects are commonly called <em>easing</em> functions.
         In either case, a mathematical function that provides a smooth curve is
         used.
       </p>
       <p>
         Timing functions are either defined as a stepping function or
         a <a
         href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Cubic_B.C3.A9zier_curves">cubic
         B&eacute;zier curve</a>.
         The timing function takes as its input
         the current elapsed percentage of the transition duration
         and outputs the percentage of the way the transition is
         from its start value to its end value.
         How this output is used is defined by
         the <a href="#animatable-types">interpolation rules</a>
         for the value type.
       </p>
       <p>
         A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_function">stepping</a>
         function is defined by a number that divides the domain of operation
         into equally sized intervals. Each subsequent interval is a equal step
         closer to the goal state. The function also specifies whether the
         change in output percentage happens at the start or end of the
         interval (in other words, if 0% on the input percentage is the point
         of initial change).

         B&eacute;zier curve</a> is defined by four control points, P<sub>0</sub>

         are always set to (0,0) and (1,1). The 'transition-timing-function' property is used
         to specify the values for points P<sub>1</sub> and P<sub>2</sub>. These
         can be set to preset values using the keywords listed below, or can be
         set to specific values using the ''cubic-bezier'' function.
         In the ''cubic-bezier'' function, P<sub>1</sub> and
         P<sub>2</sub> are each specified by both an X and Y value.

         The 'transition-delay' Property
       </a></h3>
       <p>
         The 'transition-delay' property defines when the transition will start. It allows a transition to begin execution some some period of time from when it is applied. A 'transition-delay' value of ''0s'' means the transition will execute as soon as the property is changed. Otherwise, the value specifies an offset from the moment the property is changed, and the transition will delay execution by that offset.
       </p>
       <p>
         If the value for 'transition-delay' is a negative time offset then the transition will execute the moment the property is changed, but will appear to have begun execution at the specified offset. That is, the transition will appear to begin part-way through its play cycle. In the case where a transition has implied starting values and a negative 'transition-delay', the starting values are taken from the moment the property is changed.

       <p>
         When the computed value of an animatable property changes,
         implementations must decide what transitions to start based on
         the values of the 'transition-property', 'transition-duration',
         'transition-timing-function', and 'transition-delay' properties
         at the time the animatable property would first have its new
         computed value.
         This means that when one of these 'transition-*' properties
         changes at the same time as
         a property whose change might transition,
         it is the <em>new</em> values of the 'transition-*' properties
         that control the transition.

           Example(s):
         </p>
         <p>This provides a way for authors to specify different values
         of the 'transition-*' properties for the &ldquo;forward&rdquo;
         and &ldquo;reverse&rdquo; transitions (but see <a
         href="#reversing">below</a> for special reversing behavior when
         an <em>incomplete</em> transition is interrupted).  Authors can
         specify the value of 'transition-duration',
         'transition-timing-function', or 'transition-delay' in the same
         rule where they specify the value that triggers the transition,
         or can change these properties at the same time as they change
         the property that triggers the transition.  Since it's the new
         values of these 'transition-*' properties that affect the
         transition, these values will be used for the transitions
         <em>to</em> the associated transitioning values.  For example:
          </p>
         <pre>li {
   transition: background-color linear 1s;
   background: blue;
 }
 li:hover {
   background-color: green;
   transition-duration: 2s; /* applies to the transition *to* the :hover state */
 }</pre>
         <p>
           When a list item with these style rules enters the :hover
           state, the computed 'transition-duration' at the time that
           'background-color' would have its new value (''green'') is ''2s'',
           so the transition from 'blue' to 'green' takes 2 seconds.
           However, when the list item leaves the :hover state, the
           transition from ''green'' to ''blue'' takes 1 second.

       <p>
         Various things can cause the computed style of an element to change,
         or for an element to start or stop having computed style.
         (For the purposes of this specification,
         an element has computed style when it is in the document tree,
         and does not have computed style when it is not in the document tree.)
         These include
         insertion and removal of elements from the document tree
         (which both changes whether those elements have computed styles and
         can change the styles of other elements through selector matching),
         changes to the document tree that cause
         changes to which selectors match elements,
         changes to style sheets or style attributes,
         and other things.
         This specification does not define when computed styles are updated.
         However,
         when an implementation updates the computed style for an element
         to reflect one of these changes,
         it must update the computed style for all elements to reflect all
         of these changes at the same time
         (or at least it must be undetectable that it was done at a
         different time).
         This processing of a set of simultaneous style changes is called a
         <dfn>style change event</dfn>.
         (Implementations typically have a <span>style change event</span> to
         correspond with their desired screen refresh rate,
         and when up-to-date computed style is needed
         for a script API that depends on it.)
       </p>
       <p>
         Since this specification does not define
         when a <span>style change event</span> occurs,
         and thus what changes to computed values are considered simultaneous,
         authors should be aware that changing any of the transition
         properties a small amount of time after making a change that
         might transition can result in behavior that varies between
         implementations, since the changes might be considered
         simultaneous in some implementations but not others.
       </p>
       <p>
         When a <span>style change event</span> occurs,
         implementations must start transitions based on
         the computed styles that changed in that event.
         If an element does not have a computed style
         either before or after the style change event,
         then transitions are not started for that element
         in that style change event.
         Otherwise,
         define the <span>before-change style</span> as
         the computed style for the element as of
         the previous <span>style change event</span>,
         except with any styles derived from declarative
         animations such as CSS Transitions, CSS Animations
         ([[CSS3-ANIMATIONS]]),
         and SMIL Animations ([[SMIL-ANIMATION]], [[SVG11]])
         updated to the current time.
         Likewise, define the <span>after-change style</span> as
         the computed style for the element based on the information
         known at the start of that <span>style change event</span>,
         in other words,
         excluding any changes resulting from CSS Transitions
         that start during that <span>style change event</span>.
       </p>
       <div class="note">
         <p>
           Note that this definition of the <span>after-change style</span>
           means that a single change
           can start a transition on the same property
           on both an ancestor element and its descendant element.
           This can happen when a property change is inherited
           from one element with 'transition-*' properties
           that say to animate the changing property
           to another element with 'transition-*' properties
           that also say to animate the changing property.
         </p>
         <p>
           When this happens, both transitions will run,
           and the transition on the descendant will override
           the transition on the ancestor
           because of the normal
           CSS cascading and inheritance rules ([[CSS3CASCADE]]).
         </p>
         <p>
           If the transition on the descendant completes before
           the transition on the ancestor,
           the descendant will then resume inheriting
           the (still transitioning) value from its parent.
           This effect is likely not a desirable effect,
           but it is essentially doing what the author asked for.
         </p>
       </div>
       <p>
         For each element with a <span>before-change style</span> and
         an <span>after-change style</span>,
         and each property (other than shorthands) for which
         the <span>before-change style</span> is different from
         the <span>after-change style</span>,
         implementations must
         start transitions based on the relevant item (see <a
         href="#transition-property">the definition of
         'transition-property'</a>) in the computed value of
         'transition-property'.
         Corresponding to this item there is
         a <span>matching transition duration</span>,
         a <span>matching transition delay</span>, and
         a <span>matching transition timing function</span>
         in the computed values of
         'transition-duration', 'transition-delay', and 'transition-timing-function'
         (see <a href="#list-matching">the rules on matching lists</a>).
         Define the <dfn>combined duration</dfn> of the transition
         as the sum of max(matching transition duration, ''0s'') and
         the matching transition-delay.
         When the combined duration is greater than ''0s'',
         then a transition starts based on the values of the
         matching transition duration, the matching transition delay,
         and the matching transition-timing-function;
         in other cases transitions do not occur.
         The <dfn>start time</dfn> of this transition is defined as
         the time of the <span>style change event</span> plus
         the matching transition delay.
         The <dfn>end time</dfn> of this transition is defined as
         the <span>start time</span> plus the matching transition duration.
       </p>
       <p>
         Once the transition of a property has started, it must continue
         running based on the original timing function, duration, and
         delay, even if the 'transition-timing-function',
         'transition-duration', or 'transition-delay' property changes
         before the transition is complete.  However, if the
         'transition-property' property changes such that the transition
         would not have started, the transition must stop (and the
         property must immediately change to its final value).
       </p>
       <p>
         Implementations must not start a transition when the computed
         value of a property changes as a result of declarative animation
         (as opposed to scripted animation).
       </p>
       <p>
         Implementations also must not start a transition when the
         computed value changes because it is inherited (directly or
         indirectly) from another element that is transitioning the same
         property.

       <p>
         When a property on an element is undergoing a transition
         (that is, when or after the transition has started and before the
         <span>end time</span> of the transition)
         the transition adds a style to the CSS cascade
         at the level defined for CSS Transitions in [[CSS3CASCADE]].

       <p class="note">
         Note that this means that computed values
         resulting from CSS transitions
         can inherit to descendants just like
         any other computed values.
         In the normal case, this means that
         a transition of an inherited property
         applies to descendant elements
         just as an author would expect.
       </p>
       <p>
         Implementations must add this value to the cascade

         Note that this behavior of transitions not applying to the cascade
         when an animation on the same element and property is running

         APIs that detect whether transitions are running

         still report that a transition is running.

       <h2 id="reversing">
         Automatically reversing interrupted transitions
       </h2>
       <p>
         A common type of transition effect is when a running transition is
         interrupted and the property is reset to its original value. An
         example is a hover effect on an element, where the pointer enters and
         exits the element before the effect has completed. If the outgoing and
         incoming transitions are executed using their specified durations and
         timing functions, the resulting effect can be distractingly
         asymmetric. Instead, the expected behavior is that the new transition
         should be the reverse of what has already executed.
       </p>
       <p>
         If a running transition with duration T, executing so far for duration TE,
         from state A, to state B, is interrupted by
         a property change that would start a new transition back to state A, and
         all the transition attributes are the same (duration, delay and timing function),
         then the new transition must reverse the effect. The new transition must:
       </p>
       <ol>
         <li>
           Use the B and A states as its "from" and "to" states respectively. It
           does not use the current value as its from state, due to the rules below.
         </li>
         <li>
           Execute with the same duration T, but starting as if the transition had
           already begun, without any transition delay, at the moment which would
           cause the new transition to finish in TE from the moment of interruption. In other
           words, the new transition will execute as if it started T-TE in the past.
         </li>
         <li>
           Use a timing function that is the portion of the curve traversed up
           to the moment of interruption, followed in the opposite direction (towards
           the starting point). This will make the transition appear as if it
           is playing backwards.
         </li>
         <li>
           Ignore any transition delay.
         </li>
       </ol>
       <p>
         For example, suppose there is a transition with a duration of two
         seconds. If this transition is interrupted after 0.5 seconds and the
         property value assigned to the original value, then the new transition
         effect will be the reverse of the original, as if it had begun
 .5 seconds in the past.
       </p>
       <p>
         Note that by using the defined from and to states for the reversing
         transition, it is also possible that it may reverse again, if
         interrupted; for example, if the transition reversing to state A was
         again interrupted by a property change to state B.
       </p>
       <p class="issue">Issue:
         This introduces the concept of reversing a timing function,
         which the spec has otherwise resisted doing, and also introduces
         a discontinuity between transitions that have
         almost completed (which get automatically reversed and thus have
         their timing function reversed) and transitions that have fully
         completed (where the reversal doesn't lead to the timing
         function being reversed).  An alternative proposal that avoids
         this is to follow the normal timing function algorithm, except
         multiply the duration (and also shorten any negative delay) by
         the (output) value of the transition timing function of the
         incomplete transition at the time it was interrupted, and, to
         account for multiple reverses in sequence, to divide by the
         shortening applied to the transition being interrupted.  For
         more details see this thread:

           (1 - <i>p</i>) &sdot; <i>V</i><sub>start</sub> +
           <i>p</i> &sdot; <i>V</i><sub>end</sub>.
       </p>
       <p>
         However, if this value (<i>V</i><sub>res</sub>)
         is outside the allowed range of values for the property,
         then it is clamped to that range.
         This can occur if <i>p</i> is outside of the range 0 to 1,
         which can occur if a timing function is specified
         with a <i>y1</i> or <i>y2</i> that is outside the range 0 to 1.
       </p>
       <p>
         The following describes how each property type undergoes transition or
         animation.
       </p>
       <ul>
         <li id="animtype-color">
           <strong>color</strong>: interpolated via red, green, blue and alpha
           components (treating each as a number, see below).
           The interpolation is done between premultiplied colors
           (that is, colors for which the red, green, and blue components
           specified have been multiplied by the alpha).
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-length">
           <strong>length</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-percentage">
           <strong>percentage</strong>: interpolated as real numbers.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-lpcalc">
           <strong>length, percentage, or calc</strong>: when both values
           are lengths, interpolated as lengths; when both values are
           percentages, interpolated as percentages; otherwise, both
           values are converted into a ''calc()'' function that is the
           sum of a length and a percentage (each possibly zero), and
           these ''calc()'' functions have each half interpolated as real
           numbers.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-integer">
           <strong>integer</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps (whole
           numbers). The interpolation happens in real number space and is
           converted to an integer by rounding to the nearest integer, with
           values halfway between a pair of integers rounded towards
           positive infinity.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-font-weight">
           <strong>font weight</strong>: interpolated via discrete steps
           (multiples of 100). The interpolation happens in real number
           space and is converted to an integer by rounding to the
           nearest multiple of 100, with values halfway between multiples
           of 100 rounded towards positive infinity.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-number">
           <strong>number</strong>: interpolated as real (floating point)
           numbers.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-rect">
           <strong>rectangle</strong>: interpolated via the x, y,
           width and height components (treating each as a number).
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-visibility">
           <strong>visibility</strong>: if one of the values is
           ''visible'', interpolated as a discrete step where values of the
           timing function between 0 and 1 map to ''visible'' and other
           values of the timing function (which occur only at the
           start/end of the transition or as a result of ''cubic-bezier()''
           functions with Y values outside of [0, 1]) map to the closer
           endpoint; if neither value is ''visible'' then not interpolable.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-shadow-list">
           <strong>shadow list</strong>: Each shadow in the list is
           interpolated via the
           color (as <a href="#animtype-color">color</a>) component,
           and x, y, blur, and (when appropriate) spread
           (as <a href="#animtype-length">length</a>) components.
           For each shadow, if one input shadow is ''inset'' and the other
           is not, then the result for that shadow matches the inputs;
           otherwise the entire list is not interpolable.
           If the lists of shadows have different lengths,
           then the shorter list is padded at the end
           with shadows whose color is ''transparent'',
           all lengths are ''0'',
           and whose ''inset'' (or not) matches the longer list.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-gradient">
           <strong>gradient</strong>: interpolated via the
           positions and colors of each stop. They must have the same type
           (radial or linear) and same number of stops in order to be animated.
           <span class="note">Note: [[CSS3-IMAGES]] may extend this
           definition.</span>
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-paintserver">
           <strong>paint server</strong> (SVG): interpolation is only supported
           between: gradient to gradient and color to color. They then
           work as above.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-simple-list">
           <strong>simple list</strong> of other types:
           If the lists have the same number of items,
           and each pair of values can be interpolated,
           each item in the list is interpolated using
           the rules given for those types.
           Otherwise the values are not interpolable.
         </li>
         <li id="animtype-repeatable-list">
           <strong>repeatable list</strong> of other types:
           The result list has a length that is the least common multiple
           of the lengths of the input lists.
           Each item in the result is the interpolation of the value
           from each input list repeated to the length of the result list.
           If a pair of values cannot be interpolated, then the lists
           are not interpolable.
           <span class="note">
             The repeatable list concept ensures that a list that is
             conceptually repeated to a certain length (as
             'background-origin' is repeated to the length of the
             'background-image' list) or repeated infinitely will
             smoothly transition between any values, and so that the
             computed value will properly represent the result (and
             potentially be inherited correctly).

       http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Sep/0497.html
       -->
       <p>The definition of each CSS property defines
       when the values of that property can be interpolated
       by referring to the definitions of property types
       in the <a href="#animatable-types">previous section</a>.
       Values are animatable when
       both the from and the to values of the property have the type described.
       (When a composite type such as "length, percentage, or calc" is listed,
       this means that both values must fit into that composite type.)
       When multiple types are listed in the form "either A or B",
       both values must be of the same type to be interpolable.</p>
       <p>For properties that exist at the time this specification was
       developed, this specification defines whether and how they are
       animated.  However, future CSS specifications may define
       additional properties, additional values for existing properties,
       or additional animation behavior of existing values.  In order to
       describe new animation behaviors and to have the definition of
       animation behavior in a more appropriate location, future CSS
       specifications should include an "Animatable:" line in the summary
       of the property's definition (in addition to the other lines
       described in [[CSS21]], <a
       href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/about.html#property-defs">section
 .4.2</a>).  This line should say "no" to indicate that a property
       cannot be animated or should reference an animation behavior
       (which may be one of the behaviors in the <a
       href="#animation-of-property-types-">Animation of property
       types</a> section above, or may be a new behavior) to define how
       the property animates.  Such definitions override those given in
       this specification.</p>

       The following definitions define the animation behavior for

       the CSS Color Module ([[CSS3COLOR]]).

 <h2 id="changes">Changes since Working Draft of 12 February 2013</h2>
 <p>The following are the substantive changes made since the
 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-css3-transitions-20130212/">Working Draft
 dated 12 February 2013</a>:</p>
 <ul>
   <li>Fixed missed substitution (<span>TransitionEventInit</span> rather than AnimationEventInit) when copying event IDL from css3-animations.
   <li>Make naming of event constructor dictionary parameters more consistent with DOM-Level-3-Events.
   <li>Make the behavior of simultaneous changes of 'transition-*' properties and transitionable properties even clearer.
   <li>Computed Value line for shorthands should say "see individual properties".
   <li>Define initial values of event properties,  using initializers in <span>TransitionEventInit</span>.
   <li>Define the model for starting of transitions and their interaction with other animations more precisely:
     <ul>
       <li>Define the <span>before-change style</span> and <span>after-change style</span> used for the style comparison, using the new concept of a <span>style change event</span>.
       <li>Define that a CSS transition for a property does not affect computed style when a CSS Animation for the same property is running, but that the transition is still running in terms of APIs.
       <li>Add a note pointing out that the above definitions imply that transitions can start simultaneously, from the same change, on ancestors and descendants.
       <li>Define that CSS transitions participate in CSS's cascading and inheritance model
     </ul>
 </ul>
 <p>For more details on these changes, see the version control change logs, which are split in two parts because of a file renaming: <a href="https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/log/tip/css-transitions/Overview.src.html">change log since 2013 March 28</a>, <a href="https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/csswg/log/tip/css3-transitions/Overview.src.html">change log before 2013 March 28</a>.
