+   - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added. 
 
    - general: The changes to the interpretation of phrases lead to
      a problem with the access of MHMatrix objects (eg. "M[0]")... fixed.
 
-   - database: Website to plot values from the database has been added. 
+   - callisto: Redone the signal extraction this includes:
+     + Unified the algorithms to extract the pedestal for all pedestal
+       extractions done
+     + Unification of hi- and lo-gain into one array
+     + Unification of hi- and lo-gain extraction for Spline and
+       Digital Filter (means now exactly the same algorithm is used,
+       not a copy-and-pasted one)
+     + Store pedestal subtracted data in a common place
+     + Improved extraction algorithms. If the algorithms search a 
+       maximum but don't find one they don't return the maximum anymore
+     + Improved the extraction such that a information for signal
+       and time which is consistent is returned
+     + replaced the numerical spline with a (not slower) analytical
+       solution
+     + Lowered the saturation limit from 250 to 245 to make sure that
+       we are far away in all pixels from problems with the clock-noise
+     + Changed the lo-gain start shift from 2.5 to 6.0 which gives
+       clearly smoother results (to be investigated further)
