+2010-01-27  RELEASE 0.4
+    
+    Processing:
+    * Added central support for the entire interpolation infrastructure
+    with a lot of configuration capabilities:
+      * rasterizing input data sets
+      * calculating interpolation paying attention to different boundary
+      conditions: Less than 3 point, extrapolating to the ground, water
+      surface, ...
+      * tracing isolines
+      * clipping geometries
+      * exporting interpolated polygons and isolines
+      * rendering of 2D-diagrams and export of Shapefiles
+      
+      for "Horizontales Schnittprofil", Vertical- and Horizontal Cross
+    Section. Made parts of the interpolation configurable like
+    resolution of interpolation raster; color palettes.
+
+    * Optimizing of runtime of interpolations
+
+    * Diagramm specific:
+        * Made color paletts configurable for rendering Vertical-Cross
+        Sections. Added helper script to convert same palettes to QGIS (at
+        least version 1.4 supported) styling format
+
+        * Support for 2D diagrams with multipolygons with holes and shells
+
+        * Made color of seabed configurable for vertical cross-sections
+
+        * Added special renderer for labeling isolines in dense areas 
+        in order to avoid overlaps
+
+
+    * Dependency to GUI generation:
+        * Splitting date selections in a 2 step transition: year, exact
+        point of time as required in the webclient
+
+
+        * Cleaning up internal model of steps to correspond to internal
+        objects in cache
+
+
+        * Add support for a wizard-based model of states in order to support
+        a 1-step back history in a first step; preparation for
+        multistep-history done.
+
+
+    * Configuration:
+        * Configuration: Enhanced configuration for connection testing of
+        SDE. So fare, now stable for reusing connections.
+
+        * Configurability of Mesh-Width per data model
+
+    * Others:
+        * Added support for exporting shapefiles and integrating into
+        artefact-lifecycle in order to remove files/directories after
+        end-of-life
+
+        * Support for a MapViewer interfaced based on a database-based
+        configuration
+
+        * Added support for raster data to taking into account sea
+        topography
+
+
 2009-12-17  RELEASE 0.3
 
     * PDF export
+
     * SVG export
+
     * Chart Templating
+
     * 'Horizontale Schnittprofile'
+
     * various i18n fixes
