 This document briefly summarizes module by module the most important
 changes made since the last release of GammaLib.
-The code quality was enhanced in this release by resolving errors and
-warnings issued by the cppcheck code quality check utility. A few real
-errors were detected, the remaining modifications concerned mainly the
-coding style and the translation of C-style casts into C++ style casts.
-
 2. Configuration
 -----------------
-Added OpenMP support to allow for code parallelization. If available,
-OpenMP is enabled by default. OpenMP support may be disabled using
-the --disable-openmp flag.
+The configuration script does no longer check for the presence of the
+gammalib/__init__.py file. This file is generated upon installation
+of the Python bindings, and is not shipped with the GammaLib library.
+In version 00-06-00, a missing gammalib/__init__.py file was 
+misinterpreted as a need for swig to build the Python bindings. On 
+systems without swig the Pyhton bindings were thus not built.
+
+The swig files are no longer installed in the GammaLib directory.
+These files are indeed not needed.
-Check for the presence of the Python.h header file and the wrapper
-files for Python bindings.
+The clang++ compiler takes now precedence over the g++ compiler. In
+that way, clang++ will be selected by default on Mac OS X systems
+(usually from Mac OS X 10.7 on).
 3. Application module
 ---------------------
-The GLog class was improved. The printed dates reflect now the time
-when a new line was started in a log file. The copy operator has also
-been implemented.

 5. Linear algebra module
 ------------------------
-The matrix classes have been refactored using the actual coding
-conventions.
-
-Two bugs were corrected in GSparseMatrix. First, the non-equal
-operator != had a bug that left the major part of the matrix untested.
-This had hidden a problem with the fill stack from the unit test.
-Once the != operator bug was corrected, the unit test revealed that
-the misusage of an internal working array corrupted the fill stack
-after a flush. This has been corrected by adding an additional
-working array, so that conflicts can no longer arise.
+None
 6. Model module
 ---------------
-Added GModelSpatialMap model that allow using skymap for the spatial
-component of the model. The Monte Carlo method as well as the function
-evaluation methods have been implemented. The function evaluation
-methods make use of the GSkymap sky direction access operators that
-performs a bi-linear interpolation of the pixels values for a given
-direction. Note that the total flux in the sky map is normalized
-internally to 1 ph/cm2/s. Negative pixels will automatically be set to
-zero.
+None
 7. Numerics module
@@ -71,10 +55,7 @@ None
 8. Observation module
 ---------------------
-The optimization of model parameters makes now use of OpenMP (if 
-available) for parallelization of the likelihood computation. This
-allows the increase of the code execution speed in the presence of
-multiple processor cores.
+None
 9. Optimization module
@@ -84,14 +65,7 @@ None
 10. Sky module
 --------------
-Added sky direction access operator to GSkymap class. This operator
-returns the intensity in the sky map as function of the sky direction,
-performing a bi-linear interpolation between the pixel values of the
-map.
-
-For consistency with other classes, GSkyDir arguments are now passed
-by reference in the GSkymap access operators. Also map indices have
-been declared by reference.

 11. Support module

 13. Test module
 ---------------
-A new module has been introduced that supports unit testing of
-GammaLib. The module contains so far three classes:
-- GTestSuites is a container class for unit test suites
-- GTestSuite implements a specific unit test suite
-- GTestCase collects information about a specific test case
-GTestSuites outputs the result in a JUnit compliant XML file for test
-report analysis. The usual console output is also supported. The
-GammaLib unit tests have been rewritten to make use of the new
-test suite.

 15. Fermi-LAT interface
 ----------------------
-Added support for Pass 7 data. In particular, P7SOURCE_V6 response
-functions are now included in the GammaLib distribution, together
-with some test data for the Crab. The LAT response code has also
-been refactored to support more cleanly various PSF versions.
-Efficiency factors, needed by Pass 7, are now also supported. Note
-that we still lack support for the Phi dependence of the IRF, and
-also energy dispersion has not yet been implemented.
+None
 16. CTA interface
 -----------------
-Added support for diffuse sources to CTA response. FITS sky maps can
-now be used to simulated and to fit CTA event data, both in binned and
-unbinned mode. Specifically, the GCTAResponse::irf_diffuse and
-GCTAResponse::npred_diffuse methods have been implemented to do the
-job. Some optimization has been performed to adjust the precision
-of the integrations that need to be performed for the diffuse response
-computation.
