+               CHANGES IN APE VERSION 3.0-7
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+
+    o The new function 'where' searches patterns in DNA sequences.
+
+    o pic() gains an option 'rescaled.tree = FALSE' to return the tree
+      with its branch lengths rescaled for the PIC calculation.
+
+    o clustal(), muscle(), and tcoffee() gain an option
+      'original.ordering = TRUE' to ease the comparisons of
+      alignments.
+
+    o plot.phylo() has a new option, open.angle, used when plotting
+      circular trees.
+
+    o The new function read.FASTA reads FASTA files much faster and
+      more efficiently. It is called internally by read.dna(, "fasta")
+      or can be called directly.
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o drop.tip() shuffled node labels on some trees.
+
+    o axisPhylo() now works correctly with circular trees, and gives a
+      sensible error message when type = "r" or "u".
+
+
+OTHER CHANGES
+
+    o .compressTipLabel() is 10 times faster thanks to Joseph Brown.
+
+    o base.freq() is now faster with lists.
