 # ToDo:
 ###  
-###  - recursive processing of included files and bibliography with latexdiff-vc  
 ###  - add possibility to store configuration options for latexdiff in a file rather than as options
 ###  - use kdiff3 as a merge tool
 ###  - make style that allows (forward and backjumping with hyperref)
 ###  - --flatten option only expands first including command per line if there is more than one
 #
-# Version 1.1.1alpha
+# Version 1.1.1
 #    - patch mhchem: allow ce in equations
 #    - flatten now also expands \input etc. in the preamble (but not \usepackage!)
 #    - Better support for Japanese ( contributed by github user kshramt )
 #    - prevent duplicated verbatim hashes (patch contributed by github user therussianjig, issue #36)
 #    - disable deleted label commands (fixes issue #31)
+#    - introduce post-processing to reinstate most deleted environments and all needed item commands (fixes issue #1)
 #
 # Version 1.1.0
 #    - treat diacritics (\",\', etc) as safe commands
