+* Added some initial support for "submodels" which can be used to
+  impliment things like contrails, flares, tracers, etc.
+* Make real world weather fetching a bit more robust and network friendly.
+* Ensure the entire world is initially loaded before initializing the
+  flight dynamics (avoids wildly varying frame rates at a time when
+  the FDM might be trying to do various initialization steps that
+  might benefit from consistent and fast frame rates.)
+* Other various (and minor) code cleanups, tweaks, and fixes.
+* Fixed ATIS voice file.
+* Updated aircraft: A320, Bo-105, Comper Swift, Concorde, F16,
+  Fokker-50, Fokker-100, Hunter, MD11, PC7, Spitfire, adjust
+  C172 cockpit sound levels, and Sgs-233.
+* Updated joystick configs: CH pro yoke usb, Cyborg Evo, Thrustmaster FCS.
+* Fix a bug in the nasal fuel tank management code.
+* Return Canadian ILS's to nav data.
+* Cleaned up some of the 3d models around the bay area.
+* Add support for display list based rendering which yields
+  substantial performance gains for many systems.
+* Synced with latest JSBSim code.
+* Fixed a reference point bug in YASim.
+* Revived the hi-res (tiled) screen shot code so you can again produce
+  insanely and arbitrarily large resolution screen shots.
+* Beefed up the tile pager so it can more sensibly handle insanely
+  rapid motion.
