+
+Bug fixes
+
+  * MR-131: InvalidValue exception, roi-out-of-limits when applying rotation with an image_roi 
+    already defined
+    fix computation of the max_roi according to the current binning and rotation
+    Add equality operators for Size and their missing python bindings for Point, Size and FrameDim
+    Add test for ROI computation for every bin / flip / rot 
+  * MR-130: continuous acquisition and hdf5 saving broken
+    fix deadlock resulting in saving task stall and consequently AcqStatus being AcqRunning
+    indefinitely
+    fix _calcAcqStatus when acq_nb_frames == 0
+  * MR-120: stopAcq() destroying non empty allocator
+    Do not destroy default Allocator until it's empty

+                has been repaired, and can be use now to have faster software acquisition sequence
+     * New Features:
+       Tango: new properties to run the server on a slave computer, not only on the DCU computer:
+         - tmpfs_path. default = /lima_data

+
+
+New cameras
+
+  * Arinax: The OAV B-ZOOM is an On-Axis Video-microscope with a hybrid zoom system used for
+    parallax free observation of micrometer sized crystals. It is optimized for MX crystallography
+    beamlines and high throughput stations in Synchrotrons.
+  * QHYccd:  high-performance scientific grade CMOS and CCD cameras
