+     - Add an implementation of the minstrel rate control algorithm 
+       (Duy Nguyen for gsoc)
+     - AthstatsHelper: enables the wifi device to produce periodic 
+       reports similar to the ones generated by madwifi's
+       athstats tool (Nicola Baldo)
+     - 10MHz and 5MHz channel width supported by 802.11a model 
+       (Ramon Bauza and Kirill Andreev)
+     - Channel switching support. YansWifiPhy can now switch among 
+       different channels (Ramon Bauza and Pavel Boyko)
+  
+  b) IPv6 models:
+    - IPv6 interface;
+    - IPv6 layer;
+    - IPv6 raw socket;
+    - Static IPv6 routing;
+    - ICMPv6 layer;
+    - Some ICMPv6 error messages (destination unreachable, ...);
+    - Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NS/NA, RS/RA, redirection);
+    - Ping6 application (send Echo request);
+    - Radvd application (send RA);
+    - Examples (ping6, simple-routing-ping6, radvd, radvd-two-prefix,
+      icmpv6-redirect).
+
+  c) Wireless Mesh Networking models:
+    - General multi-interface mesh stack infrastructure (devices/mesh module).
+    - IEEE 802.11s (Draft 3.0) model including Peering Management Protocol and HWMP.
+    - Forwarding Layer for Meshing (FLAME) protocol.
+
+  d) Nix-vector routing:  
+    - Ipv4NixVectorHelper
+    - Examples (nix-simple, nms-p2p-nix)
+
+  e) New Test Framework
+    - Use test.py instead of ./waf check or ./waf --regression
+    - Previous unit tests have been ported to new framework.
+    - Examples are tested for run-ability.
+
+  f) A new Flow Monitor module
+   - To very easily measure flow metrics in a simulation
+   - No need to use trace callbacks or parsing trace files
