 New user-visible features
 -------------------------
 
-  a) The ns-3 logging macros (NS_LOG_*) now report automatically the node id
-     of the event which called the macro.
+  a) Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing model (RFC 3561)
 
-  b) Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing model according to RFC 3561. 
+  b) IPv6 extensions support to add IPv6 extensions and options.  Two 
+     examples (fragmentation and loose routing) are available.
 
-  c) Net-anim:
-     - interface for animation of point-to-point links.
-     - dumbbell, grid, and star examples in examples/animation
+  c) NetAnim interface: Provides an interface to the Qt-based NetAnim 
+     animator, which supports static, point-to-point topology-based 
+     packet animations.
 
-  d) Topology Helper classes:
+  d) New topology helpers have been introduced
      - PointToPointDumbbellHelper
      - PointToPointGridHelper
      - PointToPointStarHelper
      - CsmaStarHelper
 
-  e) IPv6 extensions support and two new examples for fragmentation and loose routing.
+  e) Equal-cost multipath for global routing: Enables quagga's equal 
+     cost multipath for Ipv4GlobalRouting, and adds an attribute that
+     can enable it with random packet distribution policy across 
+     equal cost routes.
+
+  f) Binding sockets to devices:  A method analogous to a SO_BINDTODEVICE
+     socket option has been introduced to class Socket
+
+  g) Object::DoStart: Users who need to complete their object setup at 
+     the start of a simulation can override this virtual method, perform their 
+     adhoc setup, and then, must chain up to their parent.
+
+  h) Ipv4::IsDestinationAddress method added to support checks of whether a 
+     destination address should be accepted as one of the host's own 
+     addresses.  
+
+  i) UniformDiscPositionAllocator added; distributes uniformly the nodes 
+     within a disc of given radius. 
+
+  j) ChannelNumber attribute added to YansWifiPhy. Now it is possible to 
+     setup wifi channel using WifiPhyHelper::Set() method.
+
+  k) WaypointMobilityModel provides a method to add mobility as a set of 
+     (time, position) pairs
