   - \ref COMMITTOR can now be used to define multiple basins
   - The number of atoms admitted in \ref BRIDGE has been significantly increased, see \issue{185}.
   - \ref driver now allows --trajectory-stride to be set to zero when reading with --ixtc/--itrr. In this case, step number is read from the trajectory file.
