  Release of libquantum 1.1.0 and 1.0.0: The 1.1.0 development version features a method for simulating the time evolution of time-independent Hamiltonians based on exact diagonalization. Additionally, using Runge-Kutta for time evolution is now more flexible. Note that the 1.1.0 release is not backward compatible to previous versions, see the file CHANGES for further details. The 1.0.0 release is the first stable version of libquantum, and contains fixes for bugs found in 0.9.1.

  Release of libquantum 0.2.3: With this release libquantum now supports the density operator formalism. This approach allows to study much larger quantum systems and mixed states where the exact quantum state is not known.

  Release of libquantum 0.2.2: As the most important new feature, the concept of quantum object code (quobcode) has been added. This allows to trace the quantum operations that are executed. Possible applications of this interface are the analysis and optimization of quantum algorithms.
