\section{CHANGES IN VERSION 21.07.10}{
  \subsection{USER-VISIBLE CHANGES}{
    \itemize{
      
      \item If \code{control.predictor=list(compute=TRUE)} then the
      marginal densities for the linear predictor and fitted values are
      computed, but the new default is that only the summary statistics
      are returned not the marginal densities. This is because the
      storage requirement for the marginals can be substantial. The
      marginal densities can be returned setting
      \code{control.compute=list(return.marginals.predictor=TRUE)}

      \item The argument \code{control.results} are removed as it was
       not really in use.

     \item The new default value for \code{b.strategy} is
       \code{b.strategy="skip"}. See \code{?control.inla} for details

       \item \code{CPO-marginals} are returned in when
       \code{control.compute=list(config=TRUE)}

       \item There is a change how a (numerical) singular constraint is
       treated, hopefully this new way is more robust.
     }
   }

   \subsection{NEW EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES}{
     \itemize{
       \item New option \code{inla.mode}, which define how to arrange the
       internal model formulation. One of \code{"classic"},
       \code{"twostage"} and \code{"experimental"}. The default is
       \code{"classic"}, which is unchanged behaviour compared for
       earlier versions. The other two are highly experimental for the
       moment. See \code{?inla}

      silent accounted for.

\section{CHANGES IN VERSION 20.08.18}{
  \subsection{USER-VISIBLE CHANGES}{
    \itemize{
      \item Code is prepared for nested parallism, which most gain
      obtained when using the PARDISO library
      \item Argument \code{num.threads} is now in the format \code{A:B},
      where A threads for the outer layer and B threads for the inner
      layer. And this applies for several functions.
      \item The speed have improved, mostly when using the PARDISO
      library. Hopefully, nothing is broken.

      replace the previous value of 0.01. We might change this later,
      but we have enough experience to know that 0.01 is slightly to
      large.
      \item \code{control.inla$optimise.strategy="smart"} is now
      default. By construction, this should be both faster and more
      robust. Using \code{"plain"} reverts back the old behaviour. 
      \item \code{control.inla$use.directions=TRUE} is now default. This option
      estimate numerical gradients/Hessian in directions with
      more change than for coordinate-wise directions.

    \itemize{
      \item New experimental optimise strategy

      even more safe and robust.
