+Summary of most noticeable changes for version 0.0.31:
+-----------------------------------------------------
+ - nf2ff: calculate circular polarization
+ - improvements to calcPort
+ - allow 1D and 2D lumped ports
+ - improvements to SAR calculations
+ - curve primitives and port fixes & improvements
+ - FDTD operator now supports different material averaging methods
+ - support for full multi-polar Lorentz/Drude/Debye dispersive material types
+ - new ports for waveguides (rectangular and circular waveguides)
+ - improved PEC debugging
+ - improvements/simplifications in plotting far-fields (thanks to Stefan)
+ - new tutorials and examples
+ - many fixes and updates
+
+Summary of most noticeable changes for version 0.0.30:
+-----------------------------------------------------
+ - meshing improved with new detect edges and new smoothing capabilities
+ - new calcPort function for simplified port analysis
+ - cylindrical mesh improvement by considering 360° rotation symmetry
+ - support for harminv on all platforms
+ - update to auto-regressive model for voltage/current probes
+ - new SAR calculation options, incl. 1g/10g averaging
+ - support for a new primitive: polyhedron
+ - CAD import: STL/PLY surface solids supported (matlab: ImportSTL / ImportPLY)
+ - CAD export: STL/PLY export (using AppCSXCAD)
+ - lot of minor fixes and updates
+
+Summary of most noticeable changes for version 0.0.29:
+-----------------------------------------------------
+ - Cylindrical sub-grids now fully support alpha-graded meshes
+ - Property Electrode has been renamed to Excitation
+ This doesn't have any effect on the Matlab/Octave interface,
+ but old *.xml files cannot be run with a current openEMS/CSXCAD version.
+ - Overall memory usage reduced during pre-processing
+ - New excitation: Total-field/scattered field (TFSF)
+ - New tutorial on radar cross section on a metallic sphere using the TFSF excitation
+ - official support for 64-bit windows version
+ - check for engine extensions MPI compatibility
+ - CSXCAD: support for new CSXGeomPlot export options (see help for more infos)
