 <current>
-New Stuff:
+New Features:
+  - Added more overloads of find_max_factor_graph_potts() to make applying it 
+    over a Markov random field of image pixels really simple.
+  - Added the max_filter() routine.
+  - Added overloads of serialize()/deserialize() so that they can serialize
+    Google protocol buffer objects.
+  - Added scan_image_movable_parts()
+  - added find_points_above_thresh()
+  - Added sum_filter_assign().
+  - Added a per node loss option to the structural_svm_graph_labeling_problem's
+    interface.
+  - Added the full_object_detection object.
+  - Implemented the movable part stuff. 
 
 Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
+  - Updated scan_image_pyramid serialization to include the movable rectangle
+    info.  Note that this also changes the serialization format for object_detector
+    objects since they contain a scan_image_pyramid instance.
 
 Bug fixes:
+  - Made auto_threshold_image() always use 64bit integers for part of its counting
+    to make it robust to very large images.
 
 Other:
+  - Updated find_max_factor_graph_potts() to correctly say you can use infinite weights
+    for the factor_value_disagreement() values since the code actually supports this.
+  - Made integer serialization about 3 times faster.
