        This release adds a couple of new features.
 
-XXX    The shared library names???
+       The library is mostly source-level compatible with nettle-3.0.
+       It is however not binary compatible, due to the introduction
+       of versioned symbols, and extensions to the base64 context
+       structs. The shared library names are libnettle.so.6.0 and
+       libhogweed.so.4.0, with sonames libnettle.so.6 and
+       libhogweed.so.4.
 
        Bug fixes:
 
+       * Fixed a missing include of <limits.h>, which made the
+         camellia implementation fail on all 64-bit non-x86
+         platforms.
+
        * Eliminate out-of-bounds reads in the C implementation of
          memxor (related to valgrind's --partial-loads-ok flag).
