 * fixes for AQL optimizer and traversal
 
+* added `--create-collection-type` option to arangoimp
+ 
+  This allows specifying the type of the collection to be created when 
+  `--create-collection` is set to `true`. 
+
 * randomly shuffle available V8 contexts when picking one for an HTTP or scheduler
   task. This distributes requests more evenly across contexts so they can eventually
   be garbage-collected.
