This version fixes a bug that prevented command like
'comment-region' to works properly when annotate-mode was active.
+
+- 2021-05-07 V1.3.0 cage ::
+
+ This version added a procedure to prevent an empty database to be
+ saved on the user's disk.
+
+ Moreover if an empty annotations database is going to overwrite an
+ existing stale database file on disk the file is deleted instead.
+
+ Before deleting the old database file a confirmation message is
+ printed on the minibuffer if the custom variable
+ 'annotate-database-confirm-deletion' is non nil (default: t).
