   installation directory. This feature is orthogonal to the --prefix
   option to configure.
 - Minor WMA cleanups.
+- The aac audio format handler has been rewritten to use the mp4ff library.
+  See the manual for how to install the library on your system.
+- New status item: max_chunk_size. The value is stored in a previously
+  unused field of the afhi object of the aft table. Although backwards
+  compatible, users are encouraged to re-add m4a files to populate
+  the new field.
+- No more chunk tables for aac. Chunk boundaries are determined
+  dynamically at stream time.
+- Release and master branch tarballs are now compressed with xz rather
+  than bzip2.
+- The lopsub package is required to install the paraslash package.
+  Gengetopt is no longer needed.
+- make dep is gone. Dependencies have been created automatically for
+  a long time and it was never necessary to run make dep manually.
+- para_gui lost its --timeout option.
+- Most manual pages have been extended to include an overall
+  description of the command.
+- The --stream-delay option of para_audiod has been removed. It had
+  been a no-op for many years.
+- The deprecated --path option of the server ls command has been
+  removed.  The command now prints full paths by default, making
+  --full-path a no-op. Hence --full-path has been depreacted and is
+  scheduled for removal in v0.6.1.
+- It is now possible to use 'CFLAGS' to override the default compiler
+  options.
+- para_fade has been renamed to para_mixer. The four modes of operation
+  (set, fade, snooze, sleep) are implemented as subcommands of the
+  new program.
+- The sleep subcommand of para_mixer (former sleep mode of para_fade)
+  lost its --wake-hour and --wake-min options in favor of the new
+  --wake-time option which also accepts relative wakeup times like
+  "+9:30".
+- The new --fade-exponent option of para_mixer allows for non-linear
+  channel fading.
+- The new logo.
