+The main features of Coq version 8.1 are
+
+- the implementation of an alternative algorithm for checking the
+ convertibility of types, specially dedicated to fast type-checking
+ of reflexion-based proofs, and more generally to intensive
+ computation
+
+- richer inductive types
+
+ - support for recursively non uniform parameters
+ - support for a strong form of sort-polymorphism
+
+- improved tactics
+
+ - new implementation of setoid rewrite (contributed by C. Sacerdoti Coen)
+ - new implementation of ring (contributed by B. Grégoire and A. Mahboubi)
+ - and several other new tactic features
+
+- new libraries
+
+ - finite sets and finite maps (by J.-C. Filliâtre and P. Letouzey)
+ - strings (by L. Théry)
+ - significative extensions of the library on lists
+ - a few other extensions
+
+- improved module system
