 New Stuff:
+  - Added a class for reading JPEG image files.
+  - Added scale_rows(), flipud() and fliplr() matrix functions.
+  - Added console_progress_indicator.  It is a tool for measuring how long a 
+    task will take.
+  - Added sort_basis_vectors().  It is a function for performing supervised 
+    basis selection.
 
 Non-Backwards Compatible Changes:
+   - Renamed the linearly_independent_subset_finder's dictionary_size() member 
+     function to size().  This way, linearly_independent_subset_finder objects 
+     can be used in many templated functions which expect objects which look 
+     like arrays. 
 
 Bug fixes:
+  - Changed the assert macros so that they don't use __PRETTY_FUNCTION__
+    with gcc 4.4.5 since, on Ubuntu at least, this version of gcc segfaults
+    when __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ is used within certain template constructs.
+  - Improved the alias detection capability of kernel_matrix() expressions.  
+    Now statements of the form: sample = kernel_matrix(kern, *, sample) can 
+    be used since the aliasing of sample will be handled.
 
 Other:
+  - Generally tried to make things more usable.
+  - Optimized matrix expressions such as mat*diagm(vect)
+  - Made the code in chol() more robust to indefinite matrices.
