+		CHANGES IN APE VERSION 3.0-2
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+
+    o The new function alex (alignment explorator) zooms in a DNA
+      alignment and opens the result in a new window.
+
+
+
+		CHANGES IN APE VERSION 3.0-1
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+
+    o dist.dna() has two new models: "indel" and "indelblock".
+
+    o bind.tree() now accepts 'position' > 0 when the trees have no
+      banch length permitting to create a node in 'x' when grafting
+      'y' (see ?bind.tree for details).
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o cophyloplot( , rotate = TRUE) made R hanged after a few clicks.
+      Also the tree is no more plotted twice.
+
+    o read.GenBank() has been updated to work with EFetch 2.0.
+
+    o unroot() on trees in "pruningwise" order did not respect this
+      attribute
+
+
+
+		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.
+
+    o edgelabels() has a new option 'date' to place labels on edges of
+      chronograms using the time scale (suggestion by Rob Lanfear).
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o In chronopl(), the code setting the initial dates failed in
+      complicated settings (several dates known within intervals).
+      This has been generally improved and should result in faster
+      and more efficient convergence even in simple settings.
+
+    o mantel.test() sometimes returned 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.
+
+    o The option 'original.data' of write.nexus() is now deprecated and
+      will be removed in a future release.
+
+    o The code of is.ultrametric() has been improved and is now 3 times
+      faster.
+
+    o The code of vcv.phylo() has been improved and is now 10 or 30
+      times faster for 100 or 1000 tips, respectively. Consequently,
+      fitting models with PGLS will be faster overall.
+
+
+
+		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.
