    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Release date: August 2013

    OpenMS 1.11 is the first release with fully integrated Python bindings (termed pyOpenMS).
    For further details, please refer to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyopenms

    File formats:
    - QcML support

    - mzTab updated to 1.0RC3
    - ParamXML updated to v 1.6.2
    - support for CTD schema 0.3
    - full support of sourceFile tag in mzML (all source files are written, SHA1 support)

    TOPPView:
    - handle .mzML file with mixed spectra and chromatograms (prefer spectra)
    - chromatograms of all types can be displayed (not just SRM)
    - link to documentation and webpage fixed
    - fix a segfault when loading empty chromatograms into TOPPView

    TOPPAS:
    - link to documentation and webpage fixed

    TOPP tools:
    - MODIFIED:
      - FeatureLinkerUnlabeledQT: performance (speed and memory) improvement
      - FeatureLinkerUnlabeled: performance (memory) improvement (now constant in number of input maps)
      - MapAlignerPoseClustering: performance (memory) improvement (now constant in number of input maps)
      - EICExtractor: critical bugfix if the input map was not sorted
      - PeptideIndexer: by default now demands that the peptide is fully tryptic ("-enzyme:specificity none" restores the old behavior)

      - AccurateMassSearch: AccurateMassSearch assembles metabolite features from singleton mass traces.
      - IsobaricAnalyzer: Extracts and normalizes isobaric labeling information from an MS experiment. This merges the previous TMTAnalyzer and ITRAQAnalyzer functionality
      - QCExtractor: Extracts a table attachment to a given qc parameter
      - QCImporter: Embed tables or pictures in QcML

    General:
    - Python bindings allow full access to the OpenMS API from Python
    - TOPPTools now support passing of all parameters on the command line (use --helphelp)
    - Better chromatogram support (for NoiseFilterGaussian, NoiseFilterSGolay, PeakPickerHiRes)

    Search engine support:
    - Mascot 2.4 is now supported
    - OMSSAAdapter with improved memory footprint
    - N-terminal modifications work now with X!Tandem

    Changes to the Build System / Package System:
    - shared linking works for all contrib packages with automated detection using CMake find modules
    - upgrade of xerces to version 3.1.1
    - upgrade of libsvm to version 3.12

    Development:
    - public inheritance from std::vector and std::set has been reduced in the
      OpenMS codebase (removed from ConsensusFeature, FeatureMap, ConsensusMap,
      MSExperiment)
    - addition of the OpenMS/INTERFACES folder which contains proposed OpenMS
      interfaces for reading/writing spectra

    Deprecated:
    - TMTAnalyzer, ITRAQAnalyzer -> please use IsobaricAnalyzer instead
    - Several functions provided by std::vector in the MSSpectrum interface are now

    ----                                  OpenMS 1.9                                      ----
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Release date: February 2012

    OpenMS 1.9 has some major changes in TOPP tool names and usage. Therefore all .ini files
    for "typed" TOPP tools (i.e. those with a "type" parameter) built with OpenMS 1.8 and below
    are incompatible! To fix your old .ini and .toppas files use the new
    INIUpdater tool (see its documentation and the TOPP documentation in general).

    OpenMS 1.9 removed support for Mac OS X 10.5.

    Documentation:
    - new Quickstart tutorial
    - dedicated and reworked TOPPAS tutorial

    TOPPView improvements:
    -MODIFIED:
      - ConsensusFeatures can now be colored using MetaValues
      - better grid line drawing/calculation, extracted AxisPainter class
      - IdentificationView:
        - added automatic labeling with peptide fragment sequence
        - theoretical spectrum is now hidden by default (labeling contains relevant information for most use cases)
        - automatic zoom to measured MS2 data range

    TOPPAS improvements:
    	- TOPPAS allows for interactive download of preconfigured TOPPAS pipelines from OpenMS homepage
    	- "Recycling" mode for nodes, useful for database input files (see docu for details)
    - more flexible pipeline design for Merger nodes
    - Merger nodes (merge, merge all) renamed to "Merge" (one round) and "Collect" (all rounds)

    TOPP tools:
    - ADDED:
      - MapStatistics: statistics for low level quality control
      - EICExtractor: quantify known RT, m/z locations in one or many LC/MS maps and align them
      - MassTraceExtractor: annotate mass traces in centroided LC/MS maps - useful for metabolomics and top-down proteomics (use FeatureFinder tools for peptides)
      - FeatureFinderRaw: feature finding on raw data
    	- FeatureFinderMetabo: feature finding for metabolites
      - IDConflictResolver: resolve ambiguous annotations of features with peptide identifications
    - MODIFIED:
      - FeatureFinder: split into FeatureFinderMRM, FeatureFinderCentroided, FeatureFinderIsotopeWavelet
      - FeatureLinker: split into FeatureLinkerLabeled, FeatureLinkerUnlabeled, FeatureLinkerUnlabeledQT
      - FeatureLinker tools remove unneeded data after loading featureXML files to conserve memory
      - MapAligner: split into MapAlignerIdentification, MapAlignerPoseClustering, MapAlignerSpectrum, and MapRTTransformer
      - model parameters of MapAligner tools are now set in the INI file
      - MapAlignerIdentification: don't fail if parameter "min_run_occur" is set too high, warn and use possible maximum instead
      - NoiseFilter: split into NoiseFilterGaussian and NoiseFilterSGolay
      - PeakPicker: split into PeakPickerWavelet and PeakPickerHiRes
      - PILISModel: split into PILISModelCV, PILISModelTrainer, and PILISSpectraGenerator
      - MascotAdapterOnline: now supports Mascot 2.3 servers
      - ProteinQuantifier: added support for writing idXML (suitable for export to mzTab)
      - IDFileConverter: when reading pepXML, fail if the requested experiment (parameters "mz_file"/"mz_name") could not be found in the file
    - REMOVED:
      - AndiMS/NetCDF is no longer supported on any platform
      - removed IDDecoyProbability tool

    UTIL tools:
    - ADDED:
      - INIUpdater: update INI and TOPPAS files
      - TransformationEvaluation: evaluate a (RT) transformation by applying it to a range of values
    - REMOVED:
      - CaapConvert
      - UniqueIdAssigner
      - HistView

    Changes to the Build System:
    	- TOPPAS now requires Qt's Webkit library
    	- Use CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE instead of OPENMS_BUILD_TYPE (removed)
    	- Use CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH instead of CONTRIB_CUSTOM_DIR (deprecated)
      - Removed AndiMS, NetCDF and dependencies
    	- Removed dependency to imslib, relevant classes were moved directly to OpenMS/CHEMISTRY/MASSDECOMPOSITION/IMS
    - OpenMS now supports ctests functionality for optimized and parallel testing (see ticket #363)
