+- The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the
+  virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio
+  stream. The old syntax (e.g., "ff 30-") is still supported but it
+  is deprecated and no longer documented. The compatibility code is
+  sheduled for removal after 0.7.0.

+--------------------------------------
+
+The main new feature of this release is the --listen-address option
+for para_server and para_audiod. But there are also a large number of
+small improvements and bug fixes all over the place. The user-visible
+changes include
 
 - para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when
   the geometry of the terminal changes.

 - It is now possible to switch to a different afs database by changing
   the server configuration and sending SIGHUP to the server process.
+- New server options: --listen--address, --http-listen-address and
+  --dccp-listen-address. These options restrict the set of listening
+  addresses of the TCP and DCCP sockets of the server process.
+- The help commands of server, audiod, play now support --long. By default,
+  the short help is shown.
+- The code which merges the command line options with the config file
+  options has been consolidated.
+- If the current audio file is renamed, the status items are now updated
+  accordingly.
+- After the server process received SIGHUP, changes to the current audio
+  file did not trigger an update of the status items. This has been fixed.
