+RELEASE NOTES
+
+    * Keep in mind that if you have been using the localhost server with an
+      stunnel setup and you change Pan to connect directly to the server using
+      the actual server address, you should edit the existing server instead of
+      creating a new entry. If you create a new entry, Pan will see this as a
+      new server entirely even though you may be connecting to the same account
+      as before.
+      Your subscribed groups will be lost!
+      By editing the existing 'localhost:119' server entry, your subscriptions
+      will be preserved.
+
+    * To get SSL support in Pan, remember to run the following command:
+
+      ./configure --with-gnutls
+
+      If you are building Pan from the Git code repository, run the following
+      command:
+
+      sh autogen.sh --with-gnutls
+
+    * Directories to search for SSL certificates can be defined with the
+      environment variable 'SSL_CERT_DIR' or 'SSL_DIR'.
