+Release Notes, June, 2018
+=========================
+
+This version of salomeTool was used to produce SALOME 8.5.0
+
+New features and improvments
+----------------------------
+
+**sat compile : management of a verbose and debug option**
+
+The verbose and debug option for cmake products is activated through two new keys introduced in application configuration files : **debug** and **verbose**.
+**debug** option will trigger the tranmmission of *-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON* to cmake, while **verbose** option will transmit *-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON*.
+The new options can be activated for a selected products (within the option dictionnary associated to the products):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # for KERNEL compilation : specify to cmake a debug compilation with verbosity
+ KERNEL : {tag : "V7_8_0", base : "yes", debug : "yes", verbose : "yes"}
+
+These two options can also be activated globaly, for all products, through golbal keys:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ specify to cmake a debug compilation with verbosity for all products
+ APPLICATION :
+ {
+ name : 'SALOME-master'
+ workdir : $LOCAL.workdir + $VARS.sep + $APPLICATION.name + '-' + $VARS.dist
+ tag : 'master'
+ verbose :'yes'
+ debug : 'yes'
+ ...
+ }
+
+**Implementation of salome test functionnality with sat launcher**
+
+**sat** launcher is now able to launch salome tests (before the development, only virtual applications where able to launch salome tests).
+SALOME module was adapted to hold the tests (through links to SALOME module test directories).
+Notablt, the results and logs of the test are stored in *INSTALL/SALOME/bin/salome/test*.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # display help for salome test command
+ salome test -h
+
+ # show available tests (without running them)
+ salome test -N
+
+ # run tests
+ salome test
