+
+Some time has passed since the last release, so here are some of the things
+we've been working on:
+
+ itemize
+
+ item
+The @doxer_bold{test suite} is being improved. We have now three different make
+targets, @code{make check}, @code{make slowcheck} and @code{make perf}, which
+contain normal tests, tests that take a lot of cpu time and performance tests.
+One important goal is to make normal tests as fast as possible, so that it is
+no longer painful to run @code{make check} after changing something. Better
+testing means less bugs in the long run.
+
+ item
+Normal and SSE optimized @doxer_bold{fast factor 2 resampling} has been
+improved and added, as proposed in enhancement bug
+ uri{http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336366, #336366}. Right now,
+this change is not end-user visible, but intend to provide at least
+command-line access to it in beast-0.7.1.
+
+ item
+Work has started on reimplementing some of the @doxer_bold{IIR filter code}, by
+integrating code from Stephen L. Moshier. The BseIIRFilter plugin (which allows
+high-pass, low-pass, band-pass and band-stop filtering) used to be numerically
+instable, which these improvements should fix, once finished. The new code will
+allow designing @uri{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_filter, elliptic
+filters}, which provide sharper filter cutoff than anything we had before.
+
+ item
+Some support for generating of @doxer_bold{documentation for C++ code} with our
+documentation tool, doxer, has been added. An example for a C++ class with
+some documentation is the
+ uri{@top_webdir/rdocu-birnet/birnetutils.hh.html#Birnet::Deletable,
+Birnet::Deletable class}.
+
+ item
+The birnet library, which provides some essential functionality for beast and
+ uri{http://www.rapicorn.org, rapicorn}, such as a C++ signal system and
+C++ threads has been @doxer_bold{ported to C++}. By this change, some of the
+legacy C code could be removed.
+
+ item
+There is a workaround for the problems we had with different versions of
+intltool in the SVN now. The real fix needs to go in intltool, see
+ uri{http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358495, #358495}.
+
+ done

+Some @doxer_bold{bugs were fixed}:
