+The CGAL Open Source Project is pleased to announce the release 4.11.1
 of CGAL, the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library.
 
-This release is pretty special by its number of breaking changes in the
-API. In order to have a better feature set, or a better API, several
-packages have been reworked in a way that breaks the back-compatibility
-with the previous versions of the API.
+Version 4.11.1 is a bug-fix release for version 4.11. The list of fixed
+bugs can be seen on Github:
 
-Besides fixes and general enhancement to existing packages, the following
-has changed since CGAL 4.10:
-
-
-* 3D Periodic Regular Triangulations (new feature)
-
-  - Added the class Periodic_3_regular_triangulation_3, which provides
-    functionality for 3D periodic weighted Delaunay triangulations. The
-    construction is fully dynamic: it provides both point insertion and
-    vertex removal.
-
-
-* dD Regular Triangulations (new feature)
-
-  - Added the class Regular_triangulation, which provides functionality for
-    dD weighted Delaunay triangulations. Note that the removal of points is
-    not yet supported.
-
-
-* 2D and 3D Linear Geometry Kernel (breaking change)
-
-  - Breaking change: The dangerous implicit conversions between weighted
-    points and points in the concept Kernel have been
-    disabled. Constructors offering to build a weighted point from a point
-    (and reversely) are still requested by the concept Kernel but must now
-    be marked with the explicit specifier.
-
-  - Breaking change: The removal of implicit conversions between points and
-    weighted points in the concept Kernel has incidentally created various
-    minor breaking changes in the following packages: 2D Alpha Shapes, 2D
-    and 3D Triangulations, and 3D Mesh Generation. See the full changelog
-    for details.
-
-
-* Triangulated Surface Mesh Parameterization (breaking change)
-
-  - Breaking change: The package has been rewritten and can operate on any
-    model of the MutableFaceGraph concept. All previous parameterization
-    methods are still offered, although with a different, simpler API. The
-    documentation has been updated and offers a gentle introduction to the
-    new API. Users who wish to use the former API must use a version prior
-    to 4.11.
-
-  - Breaking change: The adapter to add virtual seams is now the class
-    CGAL::Seam_mesh in the package CGAL and the BGL.
-
-  - Breaking change: The package has been restructured and most headers
-    have been moved. In a general manner, users should replace <CGAL/XXX.h>
-    with <CGAL/Surface_mesh_parameterization/XXX.h>
-
-  - Add the As Rigid As Possible Parameterization method. This
-    parameterization allows the user to prioritize angle preservation,
-    shape preservation, or a balance of both.
-
-  - Add the Orbifold Tutte Embedding method. This parameterization method
-    allows to parameterize meshes that are topological spheres.
-
-
-* 3D Surface Subdivision Methods (breaking changes)
-
-  - The subdivision algorithms now work on any model of a
-    MutableFaceGraph. A new API to the subdivision methods is offered,
-    which uses optional named parameters to pass the number of iterations
-    and a vertex property map.
-
-  - Breaking change: Removed the headers <CGAL/Subdivision_method_3.h> and
-    <CGAL/Subdivision_mask_3.h>. The headers <CGAL/Subdivision_method_3/
-    subdivision_methods_3.h> and <CGAL/Subdivision_method_3/
-    subdivision_masks_3.h> should respectively be used instead.
-
-  - Sqrt3 subdivision can now handle input surfaces with a border.
-
-
-* Scale-Space Surface Reconstruction (breaking change)
-
-  - Breaking change: the API was rewritten to separate the smoothing and
-    meshing algorithm and making it possible for the user to use different
-    ones. The default algorithms used are the same as before this API
-    change, but methods are moved to the classes Weighted_PCA_smoother and
-    Alpha_shape_mesher.
-
-  - Alternative smoothing and meshing methods are provided: Jet_smoother
-    and Advancing_front_mesher.
-

-changes.
