+## Release notes
+
+### Version 0.4
+
+- Update the `struct sschiff_geometry_distribution` data structure. The
+ `sample` function now only samples the particle geometry. Its volume scaling
+ is sampled through the new `sample_volume_scaling` function. This scaling
+ factor is now sampled at the same frequency than the particle orientation,
+ i.e. several times per sampled particle geometry.
+- Relax constraints on the minimum number of scattering angles. It is now set
+ to 2 rather than 3, i.e. the scattering can be purely forward or backward.
+- Overall update of the project dependencies. Most notably, the update of the
+ Star-3D library drastically improves the performances of sampling particles
+ with the same shape.
+- Add an option to avoid the analytic computations of wide angles.
