    <li>Lots of smaller changes and bug fixes</li>

- <li>Kranc: lots of changes - thorns using Kranc see changes because of this</li>
+ <li>Kranc: 
+   <ul>           
+     <li>Use a namespace to protect certain thorn functions; this
+     means that calculations can no longer be named the same as the
+     thorn</li>
+     <li>Add the ability to merge arbitrary files into the thorn at
+     Kranc time (e.g. for docs, tests)</li>
+     <li>Add ability to tile loops over grids</li>
+     <li>Add ability to count floating point operations in a
+     calculation</li>
+     <li>Display a function call backtrace when errors are detected
+     during running Kranc</li>
+     <li>Correct accidental interchange of sinh and cosh in vectorised
+     code</li>
+     <li>Substantial internal code cleanup and reorganisation; no
+     intentional changes affecting the user as a result</li>
+     <li>Improvements to Chemora support (GPUs)</li>
+     <li>Improvements to script language support</li>
+     <li>Make GFOffset available to calculations</li>
+     <li>Improve support for xTensor as an alternative to
+     TensorTools</li>
+     <li>Include some regression tests for Kranc</li>
+     <li>Include some unit tests for Kranc</li>
+     <li>Make internal code generation significantly more robust</li>
+     <li>Remove old code, including obsolete Fortran code generation
+     which hasn't been used or worked for a long time</li>
+     <li>Remove almost all dependence on GenericFD; required code is
+     now embedded in the generated thorn</li>
+     <li>Many other small changes</li>
+   </ul>
