 Version 2.1.0
 
+* A new input parameter "datadir" specifies the path of output files. The
+  "datafile" input parameter (cannot contain path) specifies the filename
+  prefix of the output files. In v2.0.x and before, "datafile" is used to
+  specify the path and filename prefix of output files. This change is not
+  backward compatible. Users need to change their old input file to run it.
+
 * Imporved build procedure. The CitComS executable embeds python
   interpreter by default and is staticly linked with MPI library,
   which improves the portability of the code.

 * Support of binary format output (using HDF5 library).
 
-* Additional data output (including: stress, pressure, and horizontal average)
-  can be enabled/disabled by changing the input parameters.

+* Scripts (using GMT commands) to plot 2-D cross sections of temperature field.

+* Added/removed a few input parameters (all in solver.const component) for
+  computing geoid. Removed "layerd" and "wdensity" and added "radius", 
+  "density_above" and "density_below".

 * Fixes for several bugs: issue 30, 35, 42, 44 and 55. See the Geodynamics
   Roundup issue tracker (http://geodynamics.org/roundup) and the file
