and needs more work.

+Changes in lyskomd 2.0.7 (Release date FIXME)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+* Protocol changes: (changes that affect clients)
+
+** The aux-item send-comments-to has been extended.  The value may now
+   contain an optional recipient type.
+
+** The rules for when a membership is visible is now documented in the
+   protocol specification.  Previously, different requests used
+   different rules.  They are now fixed:
+
+*** query-read-texts, query-read-texts-old and sub-member could return
+    the wrong error code in several instances.
+
+*** get-membership and get-membership-old didn't always honor the
+    unread-is-secret flag of a person.
+
+*** get-members and get-members-old could leak information about
+    secret persons.
+
+*** get-unread-confs was very confused about what memberships it
+    returned.
+
+* Protocol specification bugs fixed:
+
+** The documentation for the common area of the user area was just
+   plain wrong.
+
+** The documentation for no-of-created-texts in the Pers-Stat structure
+   was wrong.
+
+** The documentation for the privilege bits create-conf and create-pers
+   was wrong.
+
+** The Protocol A example for re-z-lookup was wrong.
+
+* Bug fixes that may affect clients:
+
+** According to the documentation, get-membership and
+   get-membership-old should always have returned the array size even
+   when the want-read argument is false.  However, they always
+   reported the array size as 0 in that case.
+
+* Protocol specification improvements:
+
+** The documentation for get-person-stat-old was improved.
+
+** Documented the unread-is-secret flag of a person.
+
+* Protocol extensions:
+
+** Added a new "language" value to the common area.
+
+** The Message-ID of exported texts is now documented.
+
+** New aux-items: elisp-client-read-faq and
+   elisp-client-rejected-recommendation.
+
+** New aux-items: world-readable.
+
+* Bug fixes: (not visible by clients)
+
+** We now use Xenofarm to compile and test lyskomd automatically on a
+   compile farm of several different machines.  Several problems have
+   been fixed, so this release should be more portable than previous
+   versions.  Read more about Xenofarm at 
+
+      http://www.lysator.liu.se/lyskom/lyskom-server/xenofarm.html
+
+** The test suite should now work on more hosts.  It makes a few less
+   assumptions.  It is still not as portable as the rest of the
+   distribution, however.
+
+** valgrind has been used to ensure that there are no memory leaks or
+   memory access errors.  A few minor problems were found and fixed.
+   (A couple of minor leaks still remains.)  The configure options
+   --with-valgrind and --disable-malloc-guards are useful when you want
+   to run the test suite using valgrind.  (Don't use
+   --disable-malloc-guards on a production use server.  Due to bug 691
+   it might cause crashes.)
+
+* Improvements: (not visible by clients)
+
+** The new file etc/connections.txt contains a listing of all
+   sessions, what file descriptor they use, and from where they are
+   connected.  If a runaway client hogs the server, the administrator
+   can use tools such as strace or truss to find the file descriptor,
+   and the file descriptor can then be looked up in this file.  The
+   name of the file can be changed via the "Connection status file:"
+   configuration parameter.
+
+** DNS lookups blocks the server.  If a lookup takes more than 1.5
+   seconds (configurable via "DNS log threshold:") an entry is made in
+   the log.  DNS lookups can also be disabled via "Use DNS:".
+
+** Several minor bugs were fixed, and the code was cleaned up in
+   several ways.  See the ChangeLog for all the details.
+
+** The test suite has been extended, primarily with tests for
+   membership visibility.
