+
+Winter has arrived here, so this is basically the first winter update:
+
+This month focused on getting our code base ready for the upcoming release of
+version 0.1.
+
+ The documentation got a lot of attention with updates and improvements
+  basically everywhere. Most notably we started to include installation and
+  quick start sections for you to follow. 
+  
+ Testing took a big step forward. We expanded out standard tests, generated more
+  benchmarks and created scripts to run these tests on demand as well as within
+  our continuous integration. 
+
+ Related to the testing as well as the operational script (see below), plotting
+  routines got improved and report generation was heavily developed. This means the results
+  and some crucial information of the execution are now presented in an easy
+  readable manner. 
+
+ We started to include a *runOperational* script which will contain the core
+  of AvaFrame and will be used to execute the most stable, well tested modules
+  in operational settings (who would have guessed with this name...)
+
+ A minor bug in com2AB (Alpha Beta) was found and fixed. Furthermore we improved the quality
+  of other parts of the code with added checks and more automatic tests with
+  pytest. 
+
+ In the new [com1DFA_Exe repository](https://github.com/avaframe/com1DFA_Exe) a
+  first (linux) executable for the com1DFA module (dense flow kernel) and necessary files can be found. 
+  
+**All this will lead to the release of version 0.1 within the next few days, so please
+watch this space. Exciting times are ahead!**
