 ============
 
 Release Note
 ------------
 
-This release fixes many bugs reported so far.  There is no new
-functionality in this release.  We have fixed many performance issues
-in BitTorrent downloads.
+This release fixes linking bug with libaria2 enabled.  It also changes
+how aria2 renames the download file name when the same name already
+exists in file system.  In summary, we use numbers before extension
+(e.g., foo.1.txt), rather than after extension (e.g., foo.txt.1).  Now
+--seed-time option can take floating point number to specify
+fractional minutes.

+* Better auto-renaming
 
-* Apply --retry-wait on 503 only
+  Up until now aria2 file auto renaming worked by just appending a new
+  unique number to the file path, behind the file name extension, if
+  any, changing what most other programs consider the file extension
+  in the process.  Now, aria2 will attempt to insert the number before
+  the file extension, leaving the extension intact, so that e.g. a
+  ".jpg" still is a ".jpg" file and opens in your configured image
+  viewer when clicking it.  If a file has no extension (incl. so
+  called "dot files"), the number will be appended to the file name as
+  usual.
 
-* Ensure that lowest speed check is done even when download speed is 0
+  Note: This is a potentially breaking change that might break third
+  party scripts that rely on aria2 auto file renaming producing a
+  certain format for renamed files. Please fix your scripts
+  accordingly.
