+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 It was superseded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.
+- The "install" target no longer strips executables, the new
+  install-strip target can be used to get the old behaviour.
+- The clean targets have been renamed: clean2 is gone, and the new
+  mostlyclean removes only the executables and object files.
+- New target: check (identical to test).
+- The DESTDIR make variable is honored to prepend a path to the
+  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.
