 developed by Lukas F. Reichlin and is based on the proven open-source
 library @acronym{SLICOT}. This new package is intended as a replacement
 for control-1.0.11 by A. Scottedward Hodel and his students.
+Its main features are:
+@itemize
+@item Reliable solvers for Lyapunov, Sylvester and algebraic Riccati equations.
+@item Pole placement techniques as well as @tex $ H_2 $ @end tex
+and @tex $ H_{\infty} $ @end tex
+synthesis methods.
+@item Overloaded operators due to the use of the object-oriented features
+introduced with Octave 3.2.
+@item Support for descriptor state-space models and non-proper transfer functions.
+@item Improved @acronym{MATLAB} compatibility.
