+Bug fixes (in particular, gforth-0.6.2 compiles with gcc-3.3)
+New words: LATEST, LATESTXT (LASTXT deprecated)
+Operating environment: Added optional support for a C interface built
+  on the ffcall libraries (more portable and powerful than the old
+  one, but still not documented).  To use it, the ffcall libraries
+  have to be installed before building Gforth (see INSTALL).
+Miscellaneous: Gforth-fast now uses static superinstructions (some
+  speedup on some platforms); generally this is transparent (apart
+  from the speedup), but there are lots of command-line options for
+  controlling the static superinstruction generation.
 
-Large file support on OSs that support them (i.e., files with more
-  than 2GB on 32-bit machines).
 
-Gforth can now deal with well with broken pipes in most situations.
+User-visible changes between 0.6.0 and 0.6.1:
 
-Default dictionary size is now 4MB.
+Bug fixes (installation on big-endian machines sometimes did not work)
 
-vi tags files can be built with tags.fs (usage like etags.fs).
 
-gforth.el mostly rewritten.
+User-visible changes between 0.5.0 and 0.6.0:
 
-S": interpreted use now ALLOCATEs the string (they live until BYE).
+Changes in behaviour:
 
+S": interpreted use now ALLOCATEs the string (they live until BYE).
 Long word names (512MB on 32-bit systems) are now supported (change to
   the header format).
-
-Generalized prims2x.fs into Vmgen (see README.vmgen etc.); used the
-  new capabilities in prims (e.g., automatic handling of the return
-  stack and instruction stream).
-
 New threaded code execution method: primitive-centric (allows the
   following), hybrid direct/indirect threaded (easier portability),
   with dynamic superinstructions (typical speedup on Athlon: factor
   2).  New engine gforth-itc for dealing with some potential
-  backwards-compatibility problems (see "Invoking Gforth" in the
-  manual).
