+<body>
+
+<p>
+These are the release notes for SLIC 2.1.0 .
+</p>
+
+<h2>Summary of Major Changes</h2>
+
+<ul>
+<li>The number of events skipped is now printed out after skipping events.</li>
+<li>SLIC was updated for CLHEP 2 compatibility.</li>
+<li>The -h option (or printing usage) is now the default if no options are passed to the command line.</li>
+<li>The output from the -v (version) and -h (usage) options was cleaned up.</li>
+<li>The field 'geant4' to add the Geant4 version number from G4Version.hh to the autoname was added to list of possible autoname fields.</li>
+<li>The /physics commands were rewritten to support all physics lists packaged with v 8.2 Geant4.</li>
+<li>The command line parser was rewritten using getopt to be more conformant to GNU/POSIX standards. (Several Jira items follow from this.)</li>
+</ul>
