+   - Regression testing is now completely performed within test.py
+     rather than a separate "./waf --regression" that consults
+     reference traces in the ns-3.x-ref-traces directory.  In most
+     cases, the example programs whose traces were included in 
+     ns-3.x-ref-traces have a corresponding test called from the

+     regression tests but they are now called from the test.py
+     program.
