 ## Changelog
+### 2019-03-14 (Version 1.3.1)
+- __dispay_api__: Display API now detects automatically whenr rotation restrictions have to be applied.
+- __sign_api__: Screwdriver behavior changed. Now, left click rotates and changes direction.
 
 ### 2019-03-09 (Version 1.3)
 - __display_api__: Display nodes can be rotated in every directions (if running Minetest 5 or above).
-- __display_api__: New setting to restrict rotations to Minetest 0.4 abilities (**restriction enabled by default**).
+- __display_api__: New setting to restrict rotations to Minetest 0.4 abilities (restriction enabled by default).
 - __sign_api__: Changed behavior of screwdriver if no rotation restriction.
