 methods are now declared inline to provide also faster data access.
  
+Classes have been added to support handling of sky regions. The
+GSkyRegion class is the abstract base class of all sky regions. The
+GSkyRegionCircle class implements a circle on the sky. The DS9 region
+format is used for loading and saving region information into a file.

 -----------------
 The computations for diffuse map templates have been optimized by
 introducing a pre computation cache for IRF and Npred values. This
 considerably reduces the computing time for diffuse spatial maps.
  
+Support for on/off analysis has been added. The GCTAOnOffObservation
+class gathers all information that is required for an on/off analysis
+for a given run. The GCTAOnOffObservations container allows to analyse
+several runs in one shot.
