 == Version 9.0.0 ==
- * For download and installation check the [wiki:Installation installation] and [wiki:RasdamanReleaseProcess release process] guides.
+ * For download and installation check the ([wiki:RasdamanQuickInstall debian]) [wiki:Install installation] and [wiki:RasdamanReleaseProcess release process] guides.
 
 === Changes and new features ===
  * tile ids are now stored as long ints in the database rather than double.
    * '''note:''' this is a backwards incompatible change over rasdaman 8.x, i.e. once `update_db.sh` is run, the database (RASBASE) will be converted to the new format and will be only readable by rasdaman 9+
- * the petascope schema has been completely redesigned to work in cooperation with [wiki:SecoreUserGuide SECORE]
+ * the petascopedb schema (tables with prefix `'PS9_'`) has been completely redesigned to work in cooperation with [wiki:SecoreUserGuide SECORE]
   * '''note:''' petascope 9.0 is incompatible with the old petascope schema, and requires running `update_petascopedb.sh --migrate` to make the old petascopedb compatible
   * before running `update_petascopedb.sh --migrate`, it is necessary to remove the `$RMANHOME/share/rasdaman/petascope/update*.sql` files, which may have been left from an earlier installation.
   * similarly it is necessary to remove `$RMANHOME/etc/petascope.properties`, as more parameters have been added and `make install` will not overwrite and outdated configuration file.
- * support for irregularly gridded coverages
+ * support for CRS-aligned irregularly gridded coverages (''referenceable'' grids as by GML nomenclature, with axis parallel to the axes of the CRS).
+ * support for compound CRS, either spatial, temporal, or spatio-temporal.
+ * support for Index CRSs for unreferenced images.
+ * support for CRS slicing (interim `@<axis1>,__,<axisN>` notation).
+ * support for ISO8601 timestamps in WC*S subsettings (use double-quotes delimiters to switch from numeric coordinate to date).
+ * WCS service and service provider metadata is moved from Java templates to the database.
+ * GMLCOV coverage metadata is richer and more flexible: all GML fields are configurable in the database.
+ * rasdaman collections and WC*S coverage names can be different: a coverage corresponds to an MDD, while a collection can contain multiple MDDs.
+ * more powerful systemtests, with oracles support and scripting.
  * initial support for multi-coverages is available in petascope (specifically multipoint coverages). To enable this feature PostGIS 2.0+ is required, otherwise it will be disabled.
+ * the WCS CRS extension, partially implemented in the previous version (subsettings but no output reprojection) has been removed.
+ * OGC WCS compliance is ensured (KVP protocol extension).
