 * FINAM uses a new scheduling algorithm that allows components to use future data instead of only past/current (!157, !159)
 * New adapters to resolve circular coupling through the use of delayed data (!187)
 * It is now possible to set up static couplings that run only once and have no explicit time or stepping (!166)
+* FINAM can handle different starting times of components by pushing initial data twice (!206):  
+  Once for the common starting time, and once for the actual component time
+* Components are no longer required to push all outputs on every step (!208)

 # FINAM benchmarks
 
+Micro-benchmarks for important FINAM functions and functionality.

+Note that plot panels have different units!
+`ms` is milliseconds (1/1,000 second), `us` is microseconds (1/1,000,000 second).
