Release Notes
=============
-* 0.6 "Works with HTML 5" May, 2010
+* 0.6 "Works with HTML5" June, 2010
General notes
-------------
+This release features a lot of improvements that are relevant for HTML5 video.
+The H.264 and Theora decoders are now significantly faster, the vorbis decoder
+has seen important updates and this release supports Google's newly released
+libvpx library. Please note that for license reasons, we consider binaries of
+FFmpeg and libavcodec that are linked against libvpx unredistributable. We are
+confident that the situation will improve upstream; in this case, we will
+rectify this issue in a (future) point release.
+
+Other important changes are additions of decoders for popular codecs as
+Intel Indeo 5, WMA Pro, WMA Voice and HE-AAC.

See the Changelog file for a list of significant changes.
