 ============================
 
 
+    Receiver
+    --------
+
+
+    *   Frame Synchronizer
+        Added a new binary, similar to slsMultiReceiver, to thread receiver 
+        processes, use callbacks for data synchronization and stream out ZMQ
+        multipart messages (for each UDP port) together for each acquisition index
+        without reconstructing the image. Included start and end ZMQ messages 
+        as well for the start and end callback parameters.
+
+
+    Documentation
+    -------------
+
+
+    *   Command line - multi module and multi detector indices
+        Help on this topic has been added to the 'Command line' topic.
+
+
+    *   Row and column index (UDP header or callback)
+        Help on how this is determined from the hostname is added to the 'UDP
+        Header' and the 'Quick Start Guide' topics. Also added to the help in '
+        hostname' command line help. Please note that this can be overwritten by
+        corresponding row and column commands.

 1.2 Resolved Features 
 ======================
 
 
+    Firmware
+    ---------
+
+
+    *   [Jungfrau] Column select and filter resistor
+        Configuration fix for chip v1.1 for these parameters
+
+
+    Firmware & On-board Detector Server
+    ------------------------------------
+
+
+    *   [Jungfrau] Timing Info Decoder 
+        Only allowed for hardware v2.0 now.
+
+
+    *   [Jungfrau] Auto Comparator Disable - chip v1.0
+        Previously, this mode for chip v1.0 automatically disabled the on-chip
+        gain switching compatator after a fixed portion of the exposure time.
+        Now, one must set also the comparator disable time using 'compdisabletime'
+        just as in chip v1.1.

+
+    *   [Mythen3] patternX command autocompletes the argument to a path now.
+
+
+    Receiver
+    --------
+
+
+    *   Multiple Receiver objects in multiple threads
+        slsMultiReceiver uses child processes, but if user rewrote to use multiple
+        receiver objects in multiple threads instead, a callback mutex is now
+        implemented to handle the locking mechanism between threads for the callbacks. 
+
+
+    *   Removed potentially unsafe str().c_str() calls.
+
  
+    ZMQ
+    ---
+
+
+    *   [Moench] Reduced significant print out in zmq processing using energy
+        threshold.
+
+
+    *   [Moench] Zmq dummy packet restreaming command did nothing
+        Temporary solution was to move from 'stop' to 'rx_stop' as 'stop' did not
+        go further if module is idle.
+
+
+    *   [Moench] Too many Zmq dummy packets- unclear end in acquire
+        Give time to process dummy packet before restreaming it and wait more 
+        before restreaming to reduce amoutn of zmq dummy packets to process.
+
+
+    Simulators
+    -----------
+
+
+    *   [Jungfrau][Moench] Slightly faster transmistting time by removing sleeping
+        only if there is a transmission delay
