+2011-09-19  RELEASE 2.5
+
+    NEW:
+
+        * Introduced the concept of a "datacage": the datacage is a service that
+          provides a list of chart themes that fit to a given chart type. The
+          service accepts a user uuid, the uuid of a master Artifact, the name
+          of the output type and a set of further string parameters. In general,
+          we distinguish between user-specific datacage and system-specific
+          datacage:
+          The user-specific datacage returns themes provided by old
+          calculations computed by the user.
+          The system-specific datacage returns themes that might be generated
+          using the data stored in the flys-backend.
+
+        * Introduced a database used by the datacage that stores information
+          about Artifacts, their outputs and their facets. This database
+          requires synchronization with the Artifact database. The intent of
+          this database is to have a fast access to data stored in Artifacts.
+
+        * Introduced a mechanism to clone existing Artifacts (with or without
+          restrictions). For cloning an Artifact, it is necessary to specify the
+          UUID of a "model Artifact". The clone will be based on that model by
+          extracting all required data from it.
+
+        * Introduced "recommendations": recommendations are themes in charts or
+          maps (Artifacts/Facets) that should be added automatically to an
+          existing chart/map. They are provided by the datacage.
+
+        * Introduced new Artifact types to provide further chart themes:
+          - Annotations
+          - Mainvalues
+
+        * Introduced new Facet type WMSLayerFacet. This type stores all required
+          information (server url, layer names, layer extent, layer srid) to
+          display a WMS layer in a WMS client.
+
+        * Introduced a new chart output "Querprofildiagramm". This output
+          calculates a waterlevel and displays it as single line together with
+          one or more cross section lines ("Querprofilspuren").
+
+        * Introduced a new chart output "W-Differenzen". This output calculates
+          waterlevel differences based on at least two waterlevels (a
+          "W-Differenzen" output can consist of more than a single waterlevel
+          difference calculation). Each waterlevel difference calculation
+          results in three chart themes: two W curves and a W-Differences curve.
+
+        * Introduced a new output "Überschwemmungskarte". The visualization of
+          this output is a map. One of the map's layers is a WMS layer that
+          displays the calculation result of WSPLGEN (external C++ tool).
+
+        * Improved the rendering process of chart themes: the styles configured
+          for themes are now used.
+
+        * Improved the DistanceInfoService: it supports filters to filter the
+          type of items returned by this service (reduces the number of returned
+          items of course).
+
+        * Introduced a CSV export for "W-Differenzen".
+
+        * Downgraded GNU Trove to 1.1-beta-5 (later versions have been removed
+          from maven repositories).
+
