+	* Updates to manual, manual generation scripts, analysis info etc.
+
+	* Add HepData URL to metadata print-out with rivet --show-analysis
+
 	* Fix average Et plot in UA1 analysis to only apply to the tracker
 	acceptance (but to include neutral particle contributions,
 	i.e. the region of the calorimeter in the tracker acceptance).

+Description:
+  Analysis of charm quark fragmentation at 10.6 GeV, based on a data
+  sample of 103 fb collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB accelerator. 
+  Fragmentation into charm is studied for the main charmed hadron ground states, 
+  namely $D^0$, $D^+$, $D^+_s$ and $\Lambda_c^+$, as well as the excited states 
+  $D^{*0}$ and $D^{*+}$. This analysis can be used to constrain charm fragmentation 
+  in Monte Carlo generators. Additionally, we determine the average number of
+  these charmed hadrons produced per B decay at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance
+  and measure the distribution of their production angle in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation 
+  events and in B decays.
