-# newMSM - the new, reworked version of Multimodal Surface Matching software
+# newMSM - the new version of Multimodal Surface Matching software
+
+The new (BETA) version of MSM is now available.
+
+## Major updates
+
+Most of the code from the original version has been replaced or revised, but some were reused. Most of the updates affect performance:
+ - complete rework of the mesh resampling functionality with an octree based nearest triangle search algorithm (inspired by the wb_command of Connectome Workbench)
+ - parallelisation of mesh resampling
+ - application of octree search during registration
+ - parallelisation of cost calculation during registration
+
+Please note, the current version is 0.4.3-BETA. All feedbacks are much appreciated.
