[nicl] branch is now closed

[Samuel Audet]

Congratulations! Is there a changelog or a summary with a list of the 
differences? It's hard to keep track of what has been implemented from 
just the messages here. Documentation would be great, but I know there's 
a lot to be done, so thanks for all the work!
