+v6.5.0 (11/2018)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - Implementation of Kirchhoff's laws (DC approximation),
+   modeling of phase-shifters and representation of passive
+   loop flows (to account for on highly reduced gris): a 
+   dedicated Kirchhoff's constraints generator is now available
+   It makes use of both classical input data (impedances)
+   and new input data. Its results are specific binding
+   constraints whose names begin by @UTO-, storable in the 
+   INPUT folder after user's validation ("save")
+
+	New or modified input data for link L (8760 hourly values):
+			Impedances (moved from col.3 to col.5)(Ohms at ref. voltage U) 
+			Loop flow (passive) (MW)
+			Min Tap of phase-shifter  (MW*Ohms/U2 along any AC cycle including L)
+			Max Tap of phase-shifter  (MW*Ohms/U2 along any AC cycle including L)		
+	New link parameters (one value)		
+			Asset type (AC,DC,Gas,Virtual,Other) : KCG deals only with AC links 
+			"account for loop flow" toggle
+			"tune PST"		toggle
+	KCG generating directives:
+			Working map to use for generation
+			Calendar to use for constraints activation (relaxation outside)
+			Status of passive loop flow in constraints RHS (included or not)
+			Status or PST settings in constraints RHS      (included or not)
+			Auto-check of nodal loop flow balance (activated or not)
+			Definition of the "infinite" to use for constraints relaxation  
+	KCG results:
+			For AC Links involved in the generation process: The KCG sets the
+			values of the two input data toggles related to loop flows and
+			PST settings, in accordance with the current generation directives
+
+			Identification of an optimal (minimum-weight) cycle basis for the
+			formulation of constraints 
+
+			Generation of all relevant constraints (equality, inequalities, with
+			or without relaxation) 
+
+ - Reservoir-type hydro and other energy storage facilities:
+   interface, input and output data structure, functionalities,
+   have been completely redesigned. As a consequence, a number
+   of new items (variables & parameters) are introduced in both
+   input and output, while a few input variables are redefined
+   or deprecated:
+
+	Deprecated hydro variables:
+			Pmax hydro "min", Pmax hydro "max"
+	Redefined hydro variables and parameters:
+			Hydro-storage time-series :    redefined at the daily scale
+			Bounds for Reservoir levels:   redefined at the daily scale
+			Res.level initialization date: redefined at the monthly scale
+	New hydro variables and parameters:
+			Input : max daily hydro generating energy
+                    max daily hydro pumping	energy and power
+					monthly-to-daily  inflow breakdown pattern
+					water value (time, level)
+					modulation of max generating power (level)
+					modulation of max pumping power    (level)
+					pumping efficiency
+					+many "storage management options" parameters
+			Output: Reservoir level 	(H.LEV)
+					Water value 		(H.VAL)
+					Pumping power		(H.PUMP)
+					Natural Inflow		(H.INFL)
+					Forced Overflow		(H.OVFL)
+					Cost of Gen+Pumping (H.COST)
+			Optimization preferences:
+					"Hot/Cold start" (year N may start or not at the final N-1 level) 
+
+ - GUI: Districts may now be defined from within the interface
+   (notepad tab connected to the Inspector's clipboard)
+
+ - Time-series generation (solar, wind, load) : increased speed
+   when "high accuracy" option is selected, in the special case
+   where all diffusion processes produce "Normal" variables 
+
+ - Example library: upgraded to 6.5 (without extension)
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - Time-series generation: the storage (Input folder)
+   of time-series generated for thermal clusters either in the
+   "disabled" or "must-run" state did not work properly
+
+ - Time-series analysis: when short- and long-term levels 
+   defined for auto-correlation assessment are identical, the 
+   analyzer now performs a pure exponential fitting   
+
+ - Time-series analysis: monthly time-series containing no 
+   non-zero value are no longer rejected by the analyzer  
+
+ - Output: the link-variable "MARG.COST" was rounded to an integer
+   value (changed to 2 decimal accuracy)
+
+
+v6.1.3 (06/2018)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - Output: added a new file at the root of simulation results,
+   displaying a short summary of the overall system economic 
+   performance throughout all Monte-Carlo years
+
+ - Log file: added new info messages on the size of optimization 
+   problems
+
+ - Updater (standalone): added new options and improved
+   help messages 
+
+ - Expansion mode: presolve stage replaced by hot start
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - Simulation: In the "accurate" Unit Commitment mode, the 
+   optimization preference "thermal Clusters Min Up/Down Time"
+   can now be turned to "ignore"
+
+ - Simulation: removed remaining debug traces
+
+ - Simulation: zero-reset on interconnection marginal costs
+   was sometimes missing in optimization final stage 
+
+ - Example library : upgraded to 6.1 and extended
+
+
+v6.1.2 (11/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - Solver, Simplexe package: Improvement of the Scaling stage
+   (Matrix, right hand side, costs)
+
+
+v6.1.2 (11/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - Solver, Simplexe package: Improvement of the Scaling stage
+   (Matrix, right hand side, costs)
+
+
+v6.1.1 (11/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - Solver: Light changes in Presolve stage 
+
+
+ v6.1.0 (09/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - GUI and simulation: "binding constraints" objects may now involve
+   not only flows on interconnections but also power generated from 
+   thermal clusters. Alike flows, generation from thermal clusters may
+   be handled either on an hourly, daily or weekly basis and  may be
+   associated with arbitrary offsets (time-lags expressed in hours).
+
+
+v6.0.6 (07/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+ - GUI: Binding constraint parameters tables (weights and offsets) are trimmed
+   line-wise so as to fit exactly with the content of the selected working map 
+
+ - Solver: strenghtening of the final admissibility check step in the "accurate" 
+   commitment mode
+
+
+
+v6.0.5 (07/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - Solver: Pruning of redundant messages in simulations launched from command line 
+
+ - Solver: Removal of misprints in command line help messages
+
+ - Files:  Fixed issues (detected as of 6.0.1) regarding storage of thermal time-series files 
+
+ - Study Cleaner: Unwarranted removal of the graphic multi-map lay-out could occur when
+   cleaning datasets  (detected as of 6.0.0) 	
+
+
+v6.0.4 (06/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+ - GUI: The "variable per variable" view of the output files allows 
+   to display the power generated by each thermal cluster
+
+ - Simulation: Negative "ROW Balance" is properly included in
+   unsupplied energy allowances 	
+
+
+v6.0.3 (06/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+  - GUI: The number of system maps that could be stored in a given study 
+    was limited to 19. This number is now unbounded.
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+  - GUI: The list of thermal clusters displayed for a given Area in the
+    current map was sometimes wrongly initialized (Area considered 
+	selected though not explicitly clicked on yet)  
+
+ -  GUI: The order in which binding constraint terms are shown in the 
+    "summary" Window could depend on the execution platform used
+
+ -  GUI: The Antares study icon could not be properly copied in some
+    circumstances  
+
+
+v6.0.2 (06/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+  - Optimization : To help discriminate between equivalent economic
+    solutions, random noises on hydro hourly prices are more regularly 
+	spread out (absolute values) in the interval (5 e-4 ,1 e-3)€/MWh 
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+  - Simulation : The identification of the Monte-Carlo year numbers
+    in which the smallest/greatest values of random variables are
+	reached could be ambiguous when identical results are found for
+	two years ore more.
+
+
+v6.0.1 (05/2017)
+---------------- 
+
+### Features
+
+  - Thermal Time-series generation: Data regarding all thermal clusters
+    are generated and stored in the same way, regardless of their activity
+	status (unabled/disabled). This makes easier to check data consistency 
+
+  - Simulation: Upper bounds for spilled power and unsupplied power	are 
+    actually set to their maximum theoretical value(i.e. if economic 
+	conditions make it justified: spill all power or shed all demand)
+	So far, spillage of power that could be absorbed by the local demand
+	was not allowed 	
+
+  - Simulation: a silent "Expansion" mode has been added to the regular
+    modes "Economy/Adequacy/Draft". The three differences with the
+	"Economy" mode are:
+	  a) In "accurate" unit commitment, integrity constraints are relaxed
+	  in the core optimization problem.
+	  b) Day-ahead reserve is no more subtracted from the initial demand
+	  to get back to "standard" conditions
+	  c) The values of all optimal criteria are printed in ad hoc files
+	The use of this mode should be restricted to well-designed scripted 
+	automatic simulation sequences taking into account the simplifications
+    listed above
