+New features and improvements
+-----------------------------
+
+
+**Checking of system dependencies**
+
+SALOME depends upon some system prerequisites. Recent examples are tbb and openssl. For these products SALOME made the choice not to embedd the prerequisite, but
+to rely on the system version.
+SAT has now the capacity to check for the system dependencies in two ways:
+
+* **sat prepare** command will return an error if system prerequisites are not installed.
+* **sat config** has now an option **--check_system** that list all the system prerequisites with their status.
