---++ V2.1 -> V2.2
   *  Correction of bugs happening when appending OI-FITS files amd memory leaks in the C code part.
   * Correction of bugs in the yorick scripts:
      * corrected amdlibDivideOiData crashes (due to zeroed differential visibilities)
      * corrected bugs relative to NaNs and zero values
      * corrected UV coordinates bugs
      * now avoid to write temporary files
      * amdlibAppendOiData and amdlibAppendAllOiData have been added to the list of amdlib functions
      * update of amdlibShowOiData behavior
   * updated documentation

---++ V2.0 -> V2.1
   * This version (2.1) corrects a problem wrong estimate of spectral resolution elements invalidated by the spectral displacement between the photometric and interferometric beams. This caused a of loss of valid spectral channels during the P2VM computation, only noticeable in Low resolution JHK mode, when the spectral displacement was large, which, to our knowledge, occured only between September 2007 and January 2008. However, this bug correction may be beneficial for all observations, providing a few (1 to 2) more wavelengths available in the reduced datasets, in the long-wavelength end of LR and HR modes, and short-wavelength end in MR modes. 
   * zeroed values of VISAMP and VISAMPERR until computation of Differential Visibility Amplitude has been accepted.
   * Fix yorick plugin compilation on Linux-x86_64

---++ Beta 1 -> Beta 2
   * Set default frame selection criterion to 'fringe SNR'
   * Change message when selecting directory to perform all frame selection
   * Update for gcc 4.x 
   * Fix bug in amdlibPerformFrameSelection (yorick plugin only) which invoked flux selection when calling snr selection. 
   * Fix bug in amdlibLoadSelection which crashed, now called amdlibLoadFrameSelection
   * Implement amdlibSaveFrameSelection to create your own selection file
   * Automatic check of the log integrity when available and recompute the missing parts if necessary
   * Change as much as possible parameter names in yorick-plugin according to document of G.Zins (second proposition) (jblebou).
   * Remove as much as possible 'verbose=' parameter in yorick-plugin (jblebou)
   * Add PRO CATG keyword in frame selection file header
   * Add procedures to handle logged messages ; i.e. message formatting, verbosity control, ...
   * Implement these Logging procedure in amdlibOiData.i, amdlibP2vm.i, amdlibDataQuality.i, amdlibGraphics.i  (jblebou)
   * Fix bug in amdlibShowData when OI file contains 'NaN' values
   * Change format of OI fits files in the AMBER_DATA table for ESO compliance. amdlib-2.0-Beta-1-generated OI files should normally still work but it is highly recommended to recompute them.
   * Corrected a graphical bug in amdlibShowP2vm about Vk plots : now plotted by telescopes and not by baseline.
   * Change parameter name 'skyFileName=' into 'inputSkyFile=', to be consistent with new parameter names.
   * Fix bug in amdlibAppendOiData

---++ Known bugs
   * amdlibLoadSelection does not work (fixed in Beta 2)
   * amdlibPerformFrameSelection (amdlib library) seems to not select frames for J-band raw OI files
   * amdlibComputeOiData generates 'NaN' values when data quality is very low
