@@ -64,6 +64,8 @@ Script Changes
 - Added the ``--extr`` parameter in the ``pypeit_sensfunc`` script (also as a SensFuncPar)
   to allow the user to specify the extraction method to use when computing the sensitivity
   function (before only optimal extraction was used).
+- Added ``pypeit_chk_flexure`` script to check both spatial and spectral flexure applied to
+  the reduced data.
 - Treatment of file names is now more formal.  Compression signatures are now
   considered, and filename matching is now more strict.
