+=== Highlights of the 0.6.13 release ===
+
+Features
+
+ * Better dvd support using mpeg export profiles;
+   use --export_prof dvd-pal or dvd-ntsc for encoding using mpeg2enc/mp2enc or
+   --export_prof dvd-pal or dvd-ntsc -y ffmpeg for encoding using
+   libavcodec/ffmpeg (fast!);
+
+ * Experimental support for import_bktr and import_sunau on NetBSD
+   and OpenBSD;
+
+ * A new option to export_dvraw "static_qno" to supply this value
+   to libdv (this seems to help to make encoding a lot faster);
+
+ * Check external programs' existence before starting them. This gives
+   much more informative error messages;
+
+ * Transcode now uses an optimised (asm, mmx, sse, sse2) version of memcpy
+   when possible. This gives 10% - 20% speed increase;
+
+ * New video deinterlacing filter: filter_tomsmocomp;
+
+ * New import module ffbin that uses the "ffmpeg" executable to decode
+   video or audio, much like the "mplayer" import module;
+
+ * New audio export module "mp2" that's capable to change runtime, useful
+   for converting 29.97 fps movies back and forth to 25 fps.
+   See doc/export_mp2.txt;
+
+ * Default settings for ffmpeg export are now for optimised for maximum
+   speed which should make real time encoding possible on many computers;
+
+ * New filter filter_levels to scale e.g. ITU-R601 luma values to
+   the full range and vv. See Changelog for details;
+
+ * aviindex can now convert mplayer-generated index files to
+   transcode index files and the other way round. See the manpage of
+   aviindex for usage examples;
+
+ * Support for using ffmpeg/libavcodec multithreaded encoding via the
+   "threads" entry in ffmpeg.cfg.
+
+Compilation
+
+ * Use pkgconfig system (/usr/lib/pkgconfig) file for configuring
+   transcode whenever possible;
+
+ * Modules with external dependencies are not build by default anymore.
+   Enable these explicitely. Have a close look at the output of
+   configure --help. This was done to prevent the usual suprises when
+   running transcode and some of the modules weren't build because their
+   dependencies weren't met during compile time. Now if you enable a module,
+   it's dependencies must be met or you will get an error;
+
+ * Removed default compiler optimisation flags which were GCC-specific.
+   The user needs to supply these him/herself.
+
+Source code cleanup
+
+ * A lot of autoconf/automake cleanup;
+
+ * FFmpeg is no longer supplied with transcode because it is very important
+   to always have a recent version of FFmpeg. So now download ffmpeg from
+   cvs (always from cvs!), configure it to make shared libraries, install it,
+   and then compile transcode. Transcode cannot be compiled without FFmpeg.
+   There is a configure option to build transcode linked to ffmpeg statically,
+   but that's experimental. I will probably only work on linux;
+
+ * Internal frame handling is now done in the YUV colourspace (more
+   exactly: YUV420P or YV12) by default. This is much more suitable
+   for almost all video encoders and decoders, so it's faster and more
+   accurate because often two conversion steps can be skipped. In some
+   cases the old-style RGB handling is necessary, use either -1 or --use_rgb
+   to revert to the old behaviour;
+
+ * Removed all autogenerated files from CVS.
+
+Bugs
+
+ * A lot of bugs fixed;
+
+ * Lots of compile-time warnings fixed;
+
+ * Replaced the stone-age implementation of the resample filter (which also
+   tends make transcode dump core) by similar functionality from
+   libavcodec (ffmpeg);
+
+ * The supplied mp3lame lib was also stone-aged so it has been removed.
+   Use an external version instead.
