+* Core consolidation and optimization:
+    * The core service now processes update requests where aggreagted composite child topics are involved (#30, #267).
     * For handling core events plugins implement listener interfaces instead of overriding methods. The core delivers events to the registered listeners instead of iterating over all plugins. This is the more efficient approach (#261) [b59fff18].
+    * The application layer is separated from the network layer. This avoids high-rate firing of unnecessary core events (#268).
     * Core is modularized and its API is cleaned up (#281).
-* The Proxy plugin is dropped. Its features are transfered to the Files plugin (#292).
-* The Javadoc Maven plugin is configured to generate cross-referenced API Docs with inlined class hierarchy diagrams [5d6b13bc].
-* A lot of API changes and extensions in several plugins.
