 0.6.0 (...)
-* Important interface changes:
-  gamma() -> Gamma()
-  EulerGamma -> gamma
-  beta() -> Beta()
+* IMPORTANT: Several interface changes make programs written with GiNaC 
+  much clearer but break compatibility with older versions:
+  - f(x).series(x,p[,o]) -> f(x).series(x==p,o)
+  - series(f(x),x,p[,o]) -> series(f(x),x==p,o)
+  - gamma() -> tgamma()  (The true Gamma function, there is now also
+    log(tgamma()), called lgamma(), in accord with ISO/IEC 9899:1999.)
+  - EulerGamma -> gamma
+* #include'ing ginac.h defines the preprocessor symbols GINACLIB_MAJOR_VERSION,
+  GINACLIB_MINOR_VERSION, and GINACLIB_MICRO_VERSION with the respective GiNaC
+  library version numbers.
+* Several new timings in the check target.  Some of them may be rather rude 
+  at your machine.
