+**Today we released [Version 1.2](https://github.com/avaframe/AvaFrame/releases/tag/1.2)** 
+
+The main changes are the automatic split point generation and optional computation of fields 
+inside the calculation loop. Furthermore, renaming functions used for the QGis AvaFrameconnector are included.
+
+ENHANCEMENTS
+
+- Add function for renaming simulations, i.e. adding info to the simName. Used for AvaFrameConnector
+- Split cfgUtils: Utils contain all reading and writing; cfghandling has functions that do 
+  something with the cfgInfos
+- Make computation of ppr, pta, P, TA and pke optional within the calculation loop. Only compute them 
+  if they are required as output
+- Add automatic split point generation: - First run a DFA simulation, either using the runDFAModule flag 
+  in runComputeDFAPath.py or yourself
+  - Do not forget that you need to save particles or FD, FM, FV for multiple time steps
+  - What DFA parameters to use is not yet clear. I would use the BenMoussa time stepping and particles parameters, 
+    sphOption 2, explicit friction option 1, some artificial viscosity, and maybe activate curvature 
+    (with all this and a mu=0.42, I get ok results)
+  - Then runComputeDFAPath computes the mass average path, extends it and defines a splitPoint
+
+FIX
+- Particle exiting domain was not working properly with the new cython flag (wraparound boundcheck…)
+- Correct hybrid Path ini file
+- Update fields is too slow #455
+- Automatic split point or beta point finding #706
+- Add pfe to output files #694
+- Make cflTime and sphKernelRadius a common option #668
+- Change benchmarks not read particles from file (particles files still exist)
+- Add consistency check for com1DFA configuration
+- Fix problems with filtering of simulations
+-  Aimec comparison checks
+- Add missing mass files to benchmarks
