 ================
 
 This is a minor feature and security improvement version from version
-0.6.1 (release 6 Oct 2008). Notable features of version 0.6.2 include:
-
-- Notice inboxes have been added. This is a big database change
-  that will allow a more robust messaging model in the future; for
-  now, it is an optimization that speeds up some queries.
-- Posted URLs are automatically shortened; users can choose their
-  preferred url shortening service.
-- Support SUP protocol
-  (http://code.google.com/p/simpleupdateprotocol/) for quicker updates
-  to FriendFeed (http://friendfeed.com/).
-- Tag streams now have an RSS feed.
-- CSRF protection for posting notices and logging in. This closes
-  the "Version 0 API" used initially for identi.ca and supported
-  until September 30, 2008.
-- Slightly broadened the layout of default and Identi.ca themes to
-  accommodate more verbose (non-English!) languages' interfaces.
-- Replies made through the Web site will refer to the clicked-on
-  message.
-- enjit queue handler.
-- Experimental theme for iphone use.
-- Various internationalization scripts and updates.
-- Better UTF-8 escaped entity handling in API.
-- Better handling of since_id and before_id parameters in API.
-- Better heuristics for when to include a closing parenthesis in a link.
-- Handle multi-byte-encoded @-replies from XMPP through Twitter bridge.
-- Better handling of read-only requests in API, to allow using
-  replicated mirror servers.
-- A lot of common code factored out of default and identi.ca themes;
-  default theme now much more functional.
-- 'Invite-only' mode for closed sites.
-- Some undocumented features in Twitter API user/show.
-- Favorites flag in API for statuses.

+- 'nudge' functionality to tell a user that they're missed.
+- Links to related RSS/Atom feeds on all pages.
