1. Introduction
---------------
This document briefly summarizes module by module the most important
changes made since the last release of GammaLib.

2. Configuration
-----------------
License text has been updated throughout the code to GNU GPL v3.

The configure options --enable-universalsdk and --with-universal-archs
have been added to control building of universal libraries.  This is
particularily required if the installed Python architecture differs from
the default architecture created by the compiler.

The gammalib Python extension has been split into modules to reduce the
memory requirements during compilation and to increase compilation
speed. 

3. Application module
---------------------
None

4. FITS I/O Interface
---------------------
None

5. Linear algebra module
------------------------
None

6. Model module
---------------
None

7. Numerics module
------------------
None

8. Observation module
---------------------
Implemented an XML protocol that describes observations. This allows
for complex combinations of observations in multi-mission analyses
or for collecting sets of observations, such as runs or exposures.

9. Optimization module
----------------------
None

10. Sky module
--------------
None

11. Support module
------------------
None

12. XML module
--------------
None

13. Multi-wavelength interface
------------------------------
None

14. Fermi-LAT interface
----------------------
None

15. CTA interface
-----------------
Comply to CTA event list format v1.0.0.

Add support for 1DC response files.

Add GCTAModelRadialPolynom class to model the radial acceptance using a polynomial.

Add GCTAModelRadialProfile class to model the radial acceptance using a 3 parameter profile (width, core, tail).
