+CHANGES WITH 6:
+ * Allow arbitrary paths with --vt (kmscon)
+
+ * xkbcommon is now mandatory. We need it to handle keyboard input
+ properly and since xkbcommon-0.2.0 is released, there is no reason to
+ not depend on it.
+ We also removed the plain-input backend with this change.
+
+ * Snap window to console/font-size on resize (wlterm)
+
+ * Adjust to new libwayland-1.0 (wlterm)
+
+ * Many new command-line options for wlterm including --term, --login,
+ --palette, --sb-size and many --grab-* options.
+
+ * fake-VTs no longer react on SIGUSR1/2. This was always broken and now
+ removed.
+
+ * --switchvt works again and is now enabled by default.
+
+ * --xkb-model was introduced. The other --xkb-<rmlvo> options also use
+ system-defaults instead of us-keymap as default value now.
+
+ * wlterm works properly in maximized and fullscreen mode now
+
+ * key-presses are now properly marked as "handled" so it is no longer
+ possible for two subsystems to handle the same key-press.
+
+ * wlterm can now zoom the font size with ctrl+Plus/Minus
+
+ * TSM now supports screen selections. wlterm is hooked up with this and
+ supports this, too. However, the VTE layer has not seen this yet so
+ everything is computed in the terminal for now. Next kmscon release
+ will include client-side mouse-protocol support.
+
+ * Copy/Paste now works with wlterm
+
+ * Key-repeat has been reworked and now allows adjusting repeat and delay
+ times.
+
+ * Session support allows for multiple terminals (sessions) inside of
+ each seat. You can switch between the sessions, kill them and create
+ new terminals via keyboard shortcuts. Also several other sessions than
+ terminal sessions were introduced. However, all of them are
+ experimental and shouldn't be used.
+
+ * TSM now supports alternate screen buffers. They're enabled by default.
+
+ * Configuration handling has been reworked. Multiple config-files can
+ now be parsed and each seat has its own configuration file in
+ /etc/kmscon/<seat>.seat.conf.
+
+ * The build-tools have been reworked. They should now work properly with
+ any option-combination imaginable.
+
+ * --login option can now be used in config-files.
+
+ * We print hints if keyboard-shortcut names are written with wrong
+ capitalization.
+
+ * Improve systemd integration
+
+ * CDev sessions emulate enough of the VT API to make X-Server run as
+ kmscon session. You can even run kmscon in default-mode as client in
+ another kmscon manager.
+
+ * Bold fonts are now supported.
+
+ * kmscon.1 manpage is available now.
+
+ * ... and a lot of bugfixes
+
