 version 0.9.7 (not yet released)
+		   * use Shapely (http://trac.gispython.org/projects/PCL/wiki/Shapely)
+             to find geometries that are within map projection region.
+             This speeds up instance creation for small map regions and
+             high resolution coastlines. Boundary datasets now in binary
+             format (I/O handled by Shapely). Requires geos C++ lib
+             (http://geos.refractions.net/) and Shapely, which is a ctypes
+             interface to libgeos.
+           * remove all numerix imports.
            * fix rotate_vector so it works in S. Hem and for non-orthogonal
              grids. Support for masked velocity vectors also added. (EF)
            * numpification. (EF)
