+NOTES ON 1.3 CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE UPGRADE DOC
+================================================================
+
+---------
+Templates
+---------
+
+* ${stylesheets}, ${scripts}, and ${headScripts} add() methods now take the full tag as an argument. This will require a change to all template method calls. Example:
+
+    1.2: ${stylesheets.add("/css/individual/individual.css")}
+    1.3: ${stylesheets.add('<link rel="stylesheet" href="${urls.base}/css/individual/individual.css" />')} RY
+
+* The addFromTheme() methods of the ${stylesheets}, ${scripts}, and ${headScripts} objects has been deleted. RY
+
+* propertyGroups.getPropertyAndRemoveFromList() has been deprecated. The replacement method is propertyGroups.pullProperty(). No change in functionality. RY
