+CHANGES: Underworld2
+=======================
+
+Release 2.1.0b  [2016-10-11]
+----------------------------
+
+New Features:
+* Shadow particles sync added.
+* Finer solver execution control.
+* Added XOR function.
+* Can now describe functions using python tuples: fn = (fn1, fn2, fn3)
+* Inline interactive visualisation.
+* Better handling of systems without rendering capabilities. 
+* gLucufer Surface renderer resolution setting.
+* Parallel and recursive test runner.
+
+Bug Fixes:
+* General improvements to stability and error handling.
+* MeshVariables can not be used with multiple SLE systems.
+* glucifer deadlock when deleting from db in parallel. 
+* glucifer DB situation where zero compression results in abort().
+* glucifer valueRange fix.
+* Fn.MinMax parallel fix.
+* Issue saving swarms in parallel.
+
+Documentation:
+* Big update for User Guide.
+* New examples added.
+* Examples updated for better usage patterns.
+* Updates for docstrings & doctests. 
+* New & updated build recipes. 
+
+Interface changes:
+* SLE 'swarm' option renamed to 'voronoi_swarm'
+* Conditions can be passed in directly now instead of in lists. 
+* underworld.help function removed.
+
+
+Release 2.0.3b2 [2016-06-08]
+----------------------------
+
+* Pseudo Compressibility python wrapped.
+* Neumann boundary conditions for Stokes & SSHeat & AdvectionDiffusion (SUPG!)
+* Exposed population control mechanisms. Zero population control now occurs
+  without using the uw.swarm.PopulationControl object.
+* Bug: Potentially critical bug in the integration to material swarm mapping fixed.
+* Glucifer/LavaVu graphics 'Store' workflows introduced.
+* Dockers upgraded to use ipyparallel where possible.
+* Global evaluation for functions (experimental!)
+* Exposed non-linear tolerance.
+* Deprecated various old interface options.
+* PICIntegrationSwarm -> VoronoiIntegrationSwarm
+* Viscoelasticity implementation and example.
+* 'deform_swarm' context manager for particle relocations.
+* Auto-repopulate now occurs for voronoi swarms (except for the uw.utils.Integral class)
+* SUPG source terms.
+* MeshVariable_Projection method introduced.
+* Various bug fixes.
+* Various documentation improvements.
+* Various testing improvements.
+* Various other minor impementations.
