--------------------------------------------
-0.6.2 (to be accounced) "elastic diversity"
--------------------------------------------
+----------------------------------------------
+0.6.3 (to be announced) "generalized activity"
+----------------------------------------------
+
+- The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the
+  virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio
+  stream. The old syntax (e.g., "ff 30-") is still supported but it
+  is deprecated and no longer documented. The compatibility code is
+  sheduled for removal after 0.7.0.
+- para_afh: New option: --preserve to reset the modification time to
+  the value of the original file after meta data modification.
+- Overhaul of the compress filter code. The refined algorithm should
+  reduce clipping. The meaning of --aggressiveness has changed, see the
+  updated and extended documentation of the compress filter for details.
+- Cleanup of the audio format handler code.
+- We now build the tree using the .ONESHELL feature of GNU make,
+  which results in a significant speedup.
+- Two robustness fixes for FreeBSD.
 
-- para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when
-the geometry of the terminal changes.
 
+--------------------------------------
+0.6.2 (2018-06-30) "elastic diversity"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The main new feature of this release is the --listen-address option
+for para_server and para_audiod. But there are also a large number of
+small improvements and bug fixes all over the place. The user-visible
+changes include
+
+- 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.
+- The help commands of server, audiod, play now support --long. By default,
+  the short help is shown.
+- The code which merges the command line options with the config file
+  options has been consolidated.
+- If the current audio file is renamed, the status items are now updated
+  accordingly.
+- After the server process received SIGHUP, changes to the current audio
+  file did not trigger an update of the status items. This has been fixed.
