v1.1 (21st Dec 2007)

* Addition of specific algorithms for when only Gamma-point
   sampling is used (new input variable: gamma_only)
* Addition of routines for quantum transport and DoS calculations
   (new input variables: transport, transport_mode, etc.)
* Option to write out hamiltonian matrix elements in the Wannier
   function basis (new input variable: hr_plot)
* Option to set a convergence threshold for localisation procedure
   (new input variables: conv_tol, conv_window)
* Improved minimisation algorithms for localisation routines
   (new input variables: conv_noise_amp, conv_noise_num)
* Option to specify the number of shells that are searched to find
   nearest neighbour b-vectors (new input variable: search_shells)
* Option to plot bandstructures in xmgrace format 
(bands_plot_format=xmgrace)
* Option to plot Wannier functions in cube format 
(wannier_plot_format=cube)
   -- works for isolated molecules, further testing for periodic systems
   is required -- significantly reduces WF file-size
   (new input variable: wannier_plot_radius)
* Optional capability to specify some projections in input file and
   have the remaining centres chosen randomly by the code
* Checkpointing and restarts all done via the .chk file (_um.dat file
   now obsolete)
* Further enhancements to the way projections are specified
* Option to map Wannier functions onto bandstructure
   (new input variable: bands_plot_project)
* Option to have spinor Wannier functions
   (new input variable: spinors)
* A few new tutorial examples
* Improvements to "library mode" functionality
