 - (wifi) Support for MPDU aggregation has been added to the wifi model, 
   as well as a number of related example programs.
+- (wifi) Added two combined power and rate control mechanisms to the
+  wifi module.  The new mechanisms, PARF and APARF, are the first in the
+  wifi module to jointly control transmission power and data rate.  Two use 
+  case examples (PowerAdaptationDistance and PowerAdaptationInterference) 
+  and a test case have also been added.
 - (wifi) PARF and APARF WiFi rate controls have been added to the wifi model.
 - (lte) In previous releases of the LTE module, the bearer release

-- (wave) Support for WiFi-based vehicular communications using the 
-  IEEE 1609.4 framework has been added.  A Basic Safety Message (BSM) 
-  application packet generator, and associated statistics counters, has

+- (wave) Additional support has been added for WiFi-based vehicular networks, 
+  including the channel-access coordination features of IEEE 1609.4 and a 
+  comprehensive VANET routing example that includes a Basic Safety 
+  Message (BSM) packet generator application and associated statistics 
+  counters.  Together, these allow users to evaluate the performance effects 
+  in a VANET of varying transmission and channel properties (e.g., packet

+  routing protocol traffic, etc.).
