 ==============================================
 The extensions-again release
 
+New features:
+  * Add SOCL, an OpenCL interface on top of StarPU.
+  * Add a gcc plugin to extend the C interface with pragmas which allows to
+	easily define codelets and issue tasks.
+  * Add reduction mode to starpu_mpi_insert_task.
+  * A new multi-format interface permits to use different binary formats
+	on CPUs & GPUs, the conversion functions being provided by the
+	application and called by StarPU as needed (and as less as
+	possible).
+  * Deprecate cost_model, and introduce cost_function, which is provided
+	with the whole task structure, the target arch and implementation
+	number.
+  * Permit the application to provide its own size base for performance
+	models.
+  * Applications can provide several implementations of a codelet for the
+	same architecture.
+  * Add a StarPU-Top feedback and steering interface.
+  * Permit to specify MPI tags for more efficient starpu_mpi_insert_task
+
+Changes:
+  * Make environment variables take precedence over the configuration
+        passed to starpu_init()
+  * Libtool interface versioning has been included in libraries names
+        (libstarpu-1.0.so, libstarpumpi-1.0.so,
+        libstarpufft-1.0.so, libsocl-1.0.so)
+  * Install headers under $includedir/starpu/1.0.
+  * Make where field for struct starpu_codelet optional. When unset, its
+	value will be automatically set based on the availability of the
+	different XXX_funcs fields of the codelet.
+  * Define access modes for data handles into starpu_codelet and no longer
+	in starpu_task. Hence mark (struct starpu_task).buffers as
+	deprecated, and add (struct starpu_task).handles and (struct
+	starpu_codelet).modes
+  * Fields xxx_func of struct starpu_codelet are made deprecated. One
+	should use fields xxx_funcs instead.
+  * Some types were renamed for consistency. when using pkg-config libstarpu,
+        starpu_deprecated_api.h is automatically included (after starpu.h) to
+        keep compatibility with existing software. Other changes are mentioned
+        below, compatibility is also preserved for them.
+        To port code to use new names (this is not mandatory), the
+        tools/dev/rename.sh script can be used, and pkg-config starpu-1.0 should
+        be used.

-  * Enable by default the SOCL extension.
-  * Enable by default the GCC plug-in extension.
   * Add a field named magic to struct starpu_task which is set when
         initialising the task. starpu_task_submit will fail if the
         field does not have the right value. This will hence avoid
         submitting tasks which have not been properly initialised.

-	different XXX_funcs fields of the codelet.
   * Add a hook function pre_exec_hook in struct starpu_sched_policy.
         The function is meant to be called in drivers. Schedulers
         can use it to be notified when a task is about being computed.
