What's New?
=================
For readers who are already familiar with CORE and have read this manual before, below is a list of what changed in version 4.8:
* :ref:`Configuration_Files` - a new XML format has been defined by the U.S. Naval Research Lab (NRL) for the Network Management Framework. .
* :ref:`EMANE` - `Release 0.9.2 of EMANE <https://github.com/adjacentlink/emane/wiki/Release-Notes#092>`_ included a new capability that, in order to be leveraged, needs changes on how it is deployed by CORE. The EMANE section of this document has been updated with new method of connecting together the deployed instances.
* :ref:`Control_Network` - with EMANE 0.9.2, the CORE control network has become an important component of CORE. Auxiliary control networks have been added to the primary control network to host EMANE traffic. As a result, the discussion on the control network has been elevated to a top level topic.
* `Tips, Hints, Important Information` - miscellaneous information added to several chapters in the document.
