-0.6.1 (to be announced) "hyperbolic correlation"
-------------------------------------------------
+----------------------------------------
+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.
 - The contents of overview.pdf have been integrated into the user
   manual.
+- Fixed sized audio format headers for ogg/opus streams.
+- The doxygen source browser has been disabled temporarily. The
+  API reference is still online, though.
+- Overhaul of the source code documentation.
+- The deprecated --full-path option of the ls command has been
+  removed. It was a no-op since 0.6.0.
+- The wma decoder has been cleaned up and its bitstream API made
+  more robust.
+- The image/lyrics ID status items of the current audio file are now
+  updated on changes. This affects para_gui, which used to report the
+  old value until EOF.

+0.5.8 (2017-09-23) "branching parabola"
+---------------------------------------
+
+A couple of fixes for serious old bugs have accummulated in the maint
+branch since paraslash-0.5.7 was released nine months ago. So here
+is another 0.5.x release. As usual, all commits in the maint branch
+have been merged into master, so the upcoming paraslash-0.6.1 also
+contains them. For details see the git log.
