 3. Configuration
 -----------------
-A code generator script codegen.py has been added to the dev folder to ease
-the addition of code extensions to GammaLib.
-
-The configure script now aborts if cfitsio is not found. If GammaLib should be
-compiled without cfitsio the --without-cfitsio option has to be specified
-explicitly (#2265).
+None
  
  
 4. Application module
 ---------------------
-A time parameter with type "t" has was to allow specifying time values in
-various formats to time systems to an application. Methods were added to set
-and retrieve the time value (#1864).

 6. FITS I/O Interface
 ---------------------

-TSCALE and TZERO values before reading the column data. The keywords
-that may exist in the FITS file are not affected by the setting (#2191).

 8. Model module
 ---------------
-A spectral model constructor was added to GModelSpectralNodes to allow
-conversion of any spectral model into a spectral node model (#2178).

-XML support functions are now used in all model classes to simplify the
-code (#1430).
+None
  
  
 9. Numerics module
 ------------------
-Added GNdarray sign() friend operator and operator*= and operator/=
-(#2290).
+None
  
  
 10. Observation module
 ----------------------
-The statistic were renamed. POISSON is now called CSTAT and GAUSSIAN is called
-CHI2. The code still accepts POISSON and GAUSSIAN, but it is recommended to use
-CSTAT and CHI2 instead (#2237).
-
-The GResponse::eval_prob() method was speed up by avoiding computation for the
-case that the spatial response is non-positive. In that case the spectral
-response is no longer evaluated.
-
-A time string constructor and set method was added to GTime to allow
-setting various time formats from a string. Variants exist to set the time in
-the native time reference or in a specific time reference (#1864).
-
-The efficiency of the GGti::contains() method has been improved for subsequent
-checking of sorted times. Now a new time search always starts at the last
-successful index so that the number of search loops is minimized.
-
-Add equality and inequality operators for the GEbounds class.

 12. Sky module
 --------------
-Added GSkyMap::counts() and GSkyMap::flux() methods and clip() frield
-operators that allows clipping of sky map values (#2290)
-
-Added the GSkyMap::array() method to the Python interface to returns the sky
-map pixels as a list of lists (#2285)
-
-Added a GSkyMap division operator that also works under Python 3.x (#2122)
-
-The GNdarray class is now used to store GSkyMap pixels. A GSkyMap::smooth()
-method was added to allow smoothing of sky maps with uniform disk or Gaussian
-shaped kernels (#1729).
-
-The GSkyRegionMap class was added to handle arbitrary sky regions defined using
-a FITS file map. All positive pixels will define the region (#1121).

 16. Xspec module
 ----------------
-Added GPha::counts_spectrum() and GPha::backscal_spectrum() methods to access
-the GPha content (#2290).
-
-Added arithmetic operators for GPha class to add, subtract, scale and divide
-spectra, and methods to set and retrieve the area and background scaling
-factors.
-
-Added arithmetic operators for GArf class to add, subtract, scale and divide
-Auxiliary Response Files. Add also an operator that returns the content of
-an additional column as function of energy. The operator performs a log-log
-interpolation of the column values.
-
-Added arithmetic operators for GRmf class to add, subtract, scale and divide
-Redistribution Matrix Files.

 19. Fermi-LAT interface
 ----------------------
-The mean PSF is now updated in GLATResponse::irf(GLATEventBin&, GSource&,
-GObservation&) is the source position has changed by more than 0.01 degrees.
-This is smaller than reasonable values for the TS map computation, hence now
-for each test position the mean PSF gets updated. But it is larger than the
-typical step size in the numerical gradient computation in ctlike, so that
-also position fitting is now possible for Fermi-LAT (#604, #2183).
+None
  
  
 20. CTA interface
 -----------------
-Change DATE_OBS, DATE_END, TIME_OBS and TIME_END FITS keywords into DATA-OBS,
-DATE-END, TIME-OBS and TIME-END.
-
-If a non-point source model is fitted in an On/Off fitting an exception is thrown,
-since On/Off fitting so far only is correct for point source models (#2296).
-
-Set the Good Time Interval time reference to the CTA time reference in
-GCTAEventList, GCTAEventCube and GCTACubeExposure (#2295).
-
-Add Off sky regions attribute to the GCTAObservation class. The Off sky regions
-can be set and accessed using the GCTAObservation::off_regions() method. The
-Off regions filename is also read from and written into the observation
-definition XML file (#2284).
-
-GCTAObservation and GCTAOnOffObservation handle statistic attribute in XML
-file (#2238).
-
-Added GCTAOnOffObservation(GPha&, GPha&, GArf&, GRmf&) constructor to allow
-creation of an On/Off observation from On and Off spectra, an Auxiliary Response
-File and a Redistribution Matrix File (#2231).
-
-Added GCTAOnOffObservation(GObservations&) constructor that creates a stacked
-CTA On/Off observation from all On/Off observations that are found in the
-observation container (#2228).
-
-A GCTAOnOffObservation(GObservations&) constructer has been added to the
-GCTAOnOffObservation class that creates a stacked CTA On/Off observations from
-all On/Off observations that are found in the observation container (#2228).
-
-The GCTAOnOffObservation class now performs a proper response integration over
-the On and Off regions and takes into account the energy dispersion using the
-Redistribution Matrix File (#2210).
-
-The WSTAT statistics was added to GCTAOnOffObservation for maximum likelihood
-fitting (#2209).
-
-The GCTAObservation::obs_id() methods have been removed since the generic
-observation identified string, accessed via the GObservation::id() methods,
-will now be used (#1836).
+None
  
  
 21. COMPTEL interface
 ---------------------
-The GCOMResponse::irf() method no longer returns negative IRF values. This
-happened before due to the interpolation scheme that assumes that IRF values
-are taken at the pixel centre (#2234).
-
-COMPTEL SDA, SDB and ICT response files were added so that the information to
-compute the instrument response for any arbitrary energy band is available
-(#2186).
-
-The classes GCOMD1Response and GCOMD2Response were added to handle the energy
-response of the D1 and D2 modules, respectively. These classes handle reading
-of the SDA and SDB response files (#2186).
-
-The class GCOMInstChar was added to handle the instrument characteristics that
-are necessary to perform the response computation. The class handles reading
-of the ICT file (#2186).
-
-The class GCOMIaq was added to perform the computation of an IAQ response. This
-allows now to generate an own IAQ within GammaLib. Below 10 MeV the resulting
-IAQs are very close to simulated ones from UNH, above there are some deviations.
-Definitely more cross-checking is needed, but for now the functionality is
-there (#2186).
-
-The classes GCOMRoi, GCOMEventAtom and GCOMEventList were added to support
-handling of COMPTEL event lists in EVP FITS format. In addition, the class
-GCOMTim was added to support reading of TIM FITS files. Furthermore the classes
-GCOMOad and GCOMOads were added to handle the COMPTEL Orbit Aspect Data. And
-finally the class GCOMDri now handles all COMPTEL data cubes (#2187).
-
-The class GCOMStatus was added to handle a mission wide database of D1 and D2
-module status that forms now part of the COMPTEL calibration database (#2187).
-
-The COMPTEL Phibar fitting background model now writes out a format that can be
-used again (#2184).
