+
+## New features:
+
+  1. Slight improvements in `ostap.fittig.minuit`
+  1. add new test for `ROOT.TMiniut` decorations :  `test_fitting_minuit`
+  1. allow `pathos` to be used for paralellization for python version > 3.6  
+  1. add test `test_parallel_dill` to check the the problem with combniation 
+     of different versions of `ROOT` , `dill` and `python`.    
+  1. improve `ostap.fitting.toys`
+  1. improve `ostap.parallel.parallel_toys`
+  1. add `test_fitting_toys`
+  1. add `test_parallel_toys`
+  1. add examples/tests for evaluation of significance with toys
+  1. improve the output of `ls`-method for for `compressed_shelve` 
+  1. few minor tweaks needed for `picalib` 
+  1. add `DisplayTree` into `ostap.logger.utils` - useful tool to render the tree-like structures
+  1. impove `ls` methods for all shelve-like databases 
+  1. add `ls_tree` and `ls_table` method for `ROOT.TDirectory`
+```
+f = ROOT.TFile ( .. )
+f.ls_tree ()
+f.ls_table() 
+```
+  1. speedup construction of Bernstein polynomials from the list of roots 
+  1. re-write `PDF.wilks` method to use `ROOT.RooProfileLL`
+  1. add methods  `PDF.graph_nll` and `PDF.graph_profile` for 
+     a bit more easy and more fast drawing of NLL-scans and profiles 
+```
+pdf = ...
+g1 = pdf.graph_nll     ( 'S' , vrange ( 0 , 20.0 , 100 ) , dataset )
+g2 = pdf.graph_profile ( 'S' , vrange ( 0 , 20.0 , 100 ) , dataset , fix = ['gamma','mu'] )
+```
+  1. allow to suppress certain RooFit message topics from the configuration file, e.g.
+```
+[RooFit]
+RemoveTopics = Plotting            ,
+               Caching             ,
+               Eval                , 
+               Minization          ,
+               Integration         ,
+               Optimization        ,
+               NumericIntegration  , 
+               Fitting     
+```
+  1. Add more flexibility for parallel `Task` : one can specify the additional environment variables, prepend and append path-like environment variables, execution directory, ... variables are expanded.
+```
+mytask = MyTask  (... ) 
+mytask.environment [ 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' ] = 'some_directory1:some_directory2' 
+mytask.prepend_to  [ 'PATH'            ] = 'some_directory1:some_directory2:some_directory3'
+mytask.append_to   [ 'PYTHONPATH'      ] = '$HOME/python'  ## will be expanded at remote host
+mytask.directory                         = 'some_existing_remote_directory'
+mytask.dot_in_path                       = '.' in sys.path 
+```
+  1. add new  function `random_random` into `ostap/parallel/utils.py`, that sets (hopefully) proper seeds for the `random`, `ROOT.gRandom` and `ROOT.RooRandom` 
+  1. add invocation of `random_random` from `initialize_remote` for the parallel toys.
+  1. add methods `graph_nll` and `graph_profile` for class `SimFit`
+```
+pdf = ...
+g1 = pdf.graph_nll     ( 'S' , vrange ( 0 , 20.0 , 100 ) , dataset )
+g2 = pdf.graph_profile ( 'S' , vrange ( 0 , 20.0 , 100 ) , dataset , fix = ['gamma','mu'] )
+```
+
+## Backward incompatible changes
+
+## Bug fixes:  
+
+  1. Tiny fix in `ROOT.TMinuit.cor`
+  1. Tiny fix in `ROOT.TMinuit.cov`
+  1. more fixes in `ostap/fitting/minuit.py`
+  1. small fixes in `ostap/fitting/toys.py`
+  1. tiny fix in `ostap/math/random_ext.py`
+  1. Fix signature of `ds_project` method from `ostap.fitting.dataset.py`
+  1. few minor fixes needed for `picalib` 
+  1. fix `Ostap::HistoProject::project` for weighted `RooAbsData`, 
+     now uncertainties are evaluated correctly, properly accounting the errors in weights  
+  1. fix typo in `paralllel_toys2`
+  1. fix `random_random` for python3
