** subprocess generation filters
    A number of filters has been implemented to speed up process and diagram

    different seeds has been fixed.

** fix for relocating MadGraph generated amplitudes
    The directory and symbolic link structure for MadGraph-built 
amplitudes has
    been changed to allow for relocation of a run directory to a 
different file
    system hierarchy.

** z* variable added to LeptonsJetsAnalysis
    The builtin LeptonsJetsAnalysis has been extented to include the 
normalized
    relative rapidity z*

** detuning parameter for shower reweighting
    An efficiency tweak when using the shower reweighting facilities has 
been
    introduced for the veto algorithms in both the QTilde and the Dipole
    shower. See the documentation for more details.

** BaryonThreeQuarkModelFormFactor
    A scaling bug in the form factor series expansion was fixed.
