+
+	Regressions:
+
+	* Some tools, present in the 2.10 series, are missing because of the
+	  complete code rewrite.  Some of these tools are considered important,
+	  such as the web album exporter, and will be added during the 2.11
+	  development series, other secondary tools will added in the next
+	  development cycle (2.13).
