+               CHANGES IN APE VERSION 3.0
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+
+    o The three functions dyule, dbd, and dbdTime calculate the
+      density probability (i.e., the distribution of the number of
+      species) for the Yule, the constant and the time-dependent
+      birth-beath models, respectively. These probabilities can be
+      conditional on no extinction and/or on a log-scale.
+
+    o plot.phylo() has a new option 'rotate.tree' to rotate unrooted,
+      fan, or radial trees around the center of the plot.
+
+    o boot.phylo() and prop.clades() have a new option rooted =
+      FALSE. Note that the behaviour of prop.part() is unchanged.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o mantel.test() could return P-values > 1 with the default
+      two-tailed test.
+
+    o extract.clade() sometimes shuffled some tip labels (thanks to
+      Ludovic Mallet and Mahendra Mariadassou for the fix).
+
+    o clustal() should now find by default the executable under Windows.
+
+
+OTHER CHANGES
+
+    o The code of yule() has been simplified and is now much faster for
+      big trees.
+
+    o The code of mantel.test() has been adjusted to be consistent
+      with common permutation tests.
+
+    o The C code of base.freq() has been improved and is now nearly 8
+      times faster.
+
+
+
+               CHANGES IN APE VERSION 2.8
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+
+    o Twelve new functions have been written by Andrei-Alin Popescu:
+      additive, ultrametric, is.compatible, arecompatible, mvr, mvrs,
+      njs, bionjs, SDM, treePop, triangMtd, triangMtd*.
+
+    o A new class "bitsplits" has been created by Andrei-Alin Popescu
+      to code splits (aka, bipartition).
+
+    o There is a new generic function as.bitsplits with a method to
+      convert from the class "prop.part" to the class "bitsplits".
+
+    o The new function ltt.coplot plots on the same scales a tree and
+      the derived LTT plot.
+
+    o ltt.plot() has two new options: backward and tol. It can now
+      handle non-ultrametic trees and its internal coding has been
+      improved. The coordinates of the plot can now be computed with
+      the new function ltt.plot.coords.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o prop.part() crashed if some trees had some multichotomies.
+
+

       incompatible splits occur in 50% of the trees (especially with
       small number of trees).
 
+    o c() with "multiPhylo" did not work correctly (thanks to Klaus
+      Schliep for the fix).
+
+    o root() failed in some cases with an outgroup made of several tips.
+      The help page has been clarified a bit.
