## Release notes
+### Version 0.6
+
+- Improve code readability and simplicity by rewriting the internal
+ architecture and implementation.
+- Improve detection of the type of StL loaded (binary or ASCII).
+- Prohibit the loading of untyped StL on non-searchable streams such as
+ pipes, FIFOs or sockets.
+ This would require duplicating input data, a complex implementation
+ for a marginal feature, in other words, "it would suck".
+- Rewrite the "write" API.
+ It's designed to simplify streamed output, i.e. to write StLs whose
+ data is not in memory.
+- Make binary loading agnostic to the endianness of the host
+ architecture.
+- Added the sstl utility, which loads StL files and prints information
+ about them.
+- Improve the build system.
+ Simplify it by doing everything in one place (the Makefile).
+ Add macros to control installation sub-directories.
+
### Version 0.5.1
- Fix issues when reading on stdin
