 Without the WKT format included (by default), the `OpenLayers.Geometry::toString` method now returns "[object Object]."  Previously, it returned the Well-Known Text representation of the geometry.  To maintain the previous behavior, include the OpenLayers/Format/WKT.js file in your build.
 
-## OSM Layer
+## OSM and Bing Layers
 
 `Layer.OSM` is now defined in its own script file, namely `OpenLayers/Layer/OSM.js`. So people using `Layer.OSM` should now include `OpenLayers/Layer/OSM.js`, as opposed to `OpenLayers/Layer/XYZ.js`, in their OpenLayers builds. (See https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/issues/138)
 
+The `OpenLayers.Tile.Image` class now has a method to get a canvas context for processing tiles. Since both OSM and Bing set Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers for their tiles, it is possible to manipulate a canvas that these tiles were rendered to even if the tiles come from a remote origin. Especially when working with custom OSM tilesets from servers that do not send Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers, it is now necessary to configure the layer with

 ## Projection & SphericalMercator
 
 In previous releases, coordinate transforms between EPSG:4326 and EPSG:900913 were defined in the SphericalMercator.js script.  In 2.12, these default transforms are included in the Projection.js script.  The Projection.js script is included as a dependency in builds with any layer types, so no special build configuration is necessary to get the web mercator transforms.
