+## A change log of the ifc2ca files
+
+##### 27/05/20
+- Add orientation for point, curve and surface geometries
+- Calculate final geometry and orientation based on object placement transformation
+- Add warnings in the json file to show any corrections considered while parsing the ifc file from ETABS with a model with rigid links
+- Reduce file size by adding material and profile db in the json file and referencing them in the element objects
+- Implement internal releases for curve-to-point connections with any arbitrary orientation
+
+##### 22/03/20
+- Calculation of section properties for I symmetric profile if not provided (assuming fillet radius is zero)
+- Added geometry of planar structural surface members
+- Refactored the ifc2ca.py script
+- Added support for rigid links
+- Added advanced meshing script to correctly simulate connections and independent meshing of structural elements (no common nodes)
+
+##### 26/02/20
+- Changed section to profile and added I profile
+- Modified material and profile schema with mechanical and common properties
+- Added geometry identification for point connection from representation
+- Added connections along with supports based on the number of elements a connection is applied to
+
+##### 09/02/20
+- First implementation for straight structural curve elements and point connections
