+0.6.0 (to be announced) "fuzzy flux"
+------------------------------------
+- Support for Mac OS X has been removed.
+- On Linux systems, glibc-2.17 or newer is required to build the
+ source tree.
+- Support for RSA public keys in ASN format (as generated by openssl
+ genrsa) has been removed. These keys have been deprecated since
+ 2011, so users should have long switched to keys generated with
+ ssh-keygen(1).
+- If libgcrypt is used as the crypto library, we now require version
+ 1.5.0 (released in 2011) or later.
+- The insecure RC4 stream cipher has been removed. It was superseded
+ by aes_ctr128 three years ago but the RC4 code had been kept for
+ backwards compatibility.
+- On Linux, abstract unix domain sockets are used unconditionally.
