+- Update to version 0.9.0
+  * Version 0.9.0 of the Python Control Toolbox
+    (python-control) contains a number of enhanced features
+    and changes to functions. Some of these changes may
+    require modifications to existing user code and, in
+    addition, some default settings have changed that may
+    affect the appearance of plots or operation of certain
+    functions.
+  * Significant new additions including improvements in the
+    I/O systems modules that allow automatic interconnection
+    of signals having the same name (via the interconnect
+    function), generation and plotting of describing functions
+    for closed loop systems with static nonlinearities, and a
+    new optimal control module that allows basic computation
+    of optimal controls (including model predictive
+    controllers). Some of the changes that may break use code
+    include the deprecation of the NumPy matrix type (2D NumPy
+    arrays are used instead), changes in the return value for
+    Nyquist plots (now returns number of encirclements rather
+    than the frequency response), switching the default
+    timebase of systems to be 0 rather than None (no
+    timebase), and changes in the processing of return values
+    for time and frequency responses (to make them more
+    consistent). In many cases, the earlier behavior can be
+    restored by calling use_legacy_defaults('0.8.4').
+  New Features:
+  * Optimal control module, including rudimentary MPC
+    control (#549 by murrayrm)
+  * Describing functions plots (#521 by murrayrm)
+  * MIMO impulse and step response (#514 by murrayrm)
+  * I/O system improvements:
+  * linearize() retains signal names plus new interconnect()
+    function (#497 by murrayrm)
+  * Add summing junction + implicit signal interconnection (#517
+    by murrayrm)
+  * Implementation of initial_phase, wrap_phase keywords for
+    bode_plot (#494 by murrayrm)
+  * Added IPython LaTeX representation method for StateSpace
+    objects (#450 by roryyorke)
+  * New dynamics() and output() methods in StateSpace (#566 by
+    sawyerbfuller)
+  * FRD systems can now be created from a discrete time LTI system
+    (#568 by bnavigator)
+  * Cost and constraints are now allowed for
+    flatsys.point_to_point() (#569 by murrayrm)
