+****************************************************************************
+*                               GENERAL FEATURES                           *
+****************************************************************************
++ NPLib
+-------
+  + General
+    Building NPLib is now easier. 
+    + The new 'scripts' directory holds bash scripts called by the main
+      Makefile at the NPLib level.
+    + The main Makefile calls several scripts:
+      + All headers files are moved to the 'include' directory.
+      + Each Makefile found in any subdirectory is called.
+      + All libraries are moved to the 'library' directory.
+      + Symbolic links to *.dylib files are done if on a macosx platform.
+      + The 'liblist' file at NPLib level is created.
+
+  + CalibrationManager class
+     + This class handles in a nice way a collection of calibration files
+
+  + NPReaction class
+    + Now it is possible to give excitation to the light nucleus in exit channel.
+
+  + NPOptionManager facility
+    + This singleton class allows to pass arguments on the command line when
+      executing NPSimulation and NPAnalysis.
+    + Execute ./Simulation --help or ./Analysis --help to know the available 
+      options.
+
+  + TAsciiFile class
+     + This class allows to store any regular text file in a ROOT file
+     + This is used to store the event generator, detector configuration files
+       in ROOT output file.
+
+  + RootInput facility
+    + Support for adding TFriend object
+    + Support for using information from TAsciiFile when running NPAnalysis
+
+  + RootOutput facility
+    + Support for adding TAsciiFile object automatically
+
+  + NPTagManager facility
+    + Associate one or more string to an event in a TTree
+
++ NPSimulation
+--------------
+  + No new functionality in NPSimulation
+  + Using the NPOptionManager facility, calling NPSimulation is now:
+    ./Simulation -D xxx.detector -E xxx.reaction 
+
++ NPAnalysis
+------------
+  + Using the NPOptionManager facility, calling NPAnalysis is now:
+       ./Analysis -D xxx.detector -E xxx.reaction -R RunToTreat.txt
+  + One can also call Analysis in the following way:
+       ./Analysis -R RunToTreat
+    In this case the configuration files stored in TAsciiFile are used
+
+  + A simple but functional example for MUST2 analysis can be found
+    in the NPAnalysis/must2 directory.
