+0.6.2 (to be accounced) "elastic diversity"
+-------------------------------------------
+
+- para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when
+  the geometry of the terminal changes.
+- Minor documentation improvements.
+- Improvements to the crypto subsystem.
+- The server subcommand "task" has been deprecated. It still works,
+  but prints nothing. It will be removed in the next major release.
+- Server log output is now serialized, avoiding issues with partial
+  lines.
+- 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.

+0.6.1 (2017-09-23) "segmented iteration"
+----------------------------------------
+
+The highlight of this release is the version 2 mood parser. But there
+is a lot more than that, as summarized in the list below. And of
+course we have many small usability improvements and bug fixes not
+mentioned here.
+
+- A more intuitive syntax for moods ("version 2 moods"). The
+  traditional version 1 moods are still supported but are deprecated
+  now. Removal of the version 1 mood parser is scheduled for the next
+  major release.
+- Flex and bison are now required to build para_server.
 - New sort order for the ls command: -s=h sorts the ls output by hash
   value of the audio file.
 - autogen.sh now runs the test suite after a successful build.
