+What's new in release `1.1`:
+- **API interface**: simulations can be started in IDEAL from a remote (or local) client via http or https communication. IDEAL will send the results back to the client.
+- **python module**: you can now easily start simulations via python scripting and retrieve info on the DICOM data.
+- you can **keep track of all the simulation** started in IDEAL, with date, working and output directories and simulation status.
+  
 This code has been tested to work correctly for treatment plans with the fixed beam lines of the
 MedAustron clinic. At the time of this release it has not yet been tested at any other clinic, but we hope
 that this software will be useful at other clinics as well.
