+               CHANGES IN APE VERSION 3.0-8
+
+
+NEW FEATURES
+
+    o ace() gains a new option 'use.expm' to use expm() from the
+      package of the same name in place of matexpo().
+
+
+BUG FIXES
+
+    o read.dna(, "fasta") may add '\r' in labels: this is fixed.
+
+    o prop.clades() returned wrong numbers when the tip labels of
+      'phy' are not in the same order than the list of trees (thanks
+      to Rupert Collins for the report).
+
+    o CADM.post() displayed "1" on the diagonal of the matrix of
+      Mantel p-values. It now displays "NA" on the diagonal,
+      indicating that no test of significance is computed between a
+      distance matrix and itself.

                CHANGES IN APE VERSION 3.0-7
 
 
 NEW FEATURES
 
+    o The new function chronos estimates chronograms by penalised
+      likelihood and maximum likelihood with a completely reworked
+      code and interface. There is a new function makeChronosCalib to
+      set the calibration points easily. chronos() will eventually
+      replace chronopl().
+
     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 PICs calculation.
+      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.
+
+    o as.matrix.DNAbin() should be faster and more efficient with
+      lists; it now accepts vectors.
