+We are pleased to announce the release 3.9.0 of the GUDHI library.
 
-As a major new feature, the GUDHI library now offers Perslay, a Tensorflow model for the representations module, scikit-learn like interfaces for Cover Complexes, a new function to compute persistence of a function on ℝ and the possibility to build a Cubical Complex as a lower-star filtration from vertices.

 We are now using GitHub to develop the GUDHI library, do not hesitate to [fork the GUDHI project on GitHub](https://github.com/GUDHI/gudhi-devel). From a user point of view, we recommend to download GUDHI user version (gudhi.3.X.X.tar.gz).

+Below is a list of changes made since GUDHI 3.8.0:
 
-- [Perslay](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/representations_tflow_itf_ref.html)
-     - a TensorFlow layer for persistence diagrams representations.
+- [Module](link)
+     - **...**
 
-- [Cover Complex](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/cover_complex_sklearn_user.html)
-     - New classes to compute Mapper, Graph Induced complex and Nerves with a scikit-learn like interface.
-
-- [Persistent cohomology](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/group__persistent__cohomology.html)
-     - New linear-time `compute_persistence_of_function_on_line`, also available though `CubicalPersistence` in Python.
-
-- [Cubical complex](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/group__cubical__complex.html)
-     - Add possibility to build a lower-star filtration from vertices instead of top-dimensional cubes.
-     - Naming the arguments is now mandatory in CubicalComplex python constructor.
-     - Remove `newshape` mechanism from [CubicalPersistence](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/cubical_complex_sklearn_itf_ref.html)
-
-- [Hera version of Wasserstein distance](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/wasserstein_distance_user.html#hera)
-     - now provides matching in its interface.
-
-- [Subsampling](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/group__subsampling.html)
-     - New `choose_n_farthest_points_metric` as a faster alternative of `choose_n_farthest_points`.
-
-- [SimplexTree](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/simplex_tree_ref.html)
-     - `SimplexTree` can now be used with `pickle`.
-     - new `prune_above_dimension` method.
-
-- Installation
-     - CMake 3.8 is the new minimal standard to compile the library.
-     - Support for oneAPI TBB (instead of deprecated TBB) to take advantage of multicore performance.
-     - [pydata-sphinx-theme](https://pydata-sphinx-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is the new sphinx theme of the python documentation.
