+NFD version 0.6.1
+-----------------
+
+Release date: February 19, 2018
+
+New features:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- (potentially breaking change) ``nfd-status-http-server`` now requires Python 3
+
+- Congestion detection and signaling for TCP, UDP, and Unix stream transports. This feature
+  can be managed through the configuration file and nfdc, and is enabled by default
+  (:issue:`4362`, :issue:`4465`)
+
+- ``nfdc cs info`` command that shows CS hits and CS misses
+  (:issue:`4219`, :issue:`4438`)
+
+- Support for non-listening UDP channels (:issue:`4098`)
+
+- IPv6 UDP multicast transport (:issue:`4222`)
+
+- Strategy notification for packet drops in ``LpReliability`` (:issue:`3823`)
+
+- ``NonDiscovery`` and ``PrefixAnnouncement`` encoding/decoding in ``GenericLinkService``
+  (:issue:`4280`, :issue:`4355`)
+
+Improvements and bug fixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Added more ways in ``nfdc`` for a user to ask for help, including ``'nfdc foo help'``, ``'nfdc foo
+  --help'``, and ``'nfdc foo -h'`` (:issue:`4503`)
+
+- Added privilege elevation in ``MulticastUdpTransport`` that was preventing NFD from running with
+  effective non-root user (:issue:`4507`)
+
+- Fixed crash when configuration file lacks an ``'authorizations'`` section
+  (:issue:`4487`)
+
+- Made the exit status consistent across all tools
+
+- Fixed build when ``std::to_string`` is not available
+  (:issue:`4393`)
+
+- Made ``AsfStrategy`` less sensitive, switching the path only after multiple timeouts. The number
+  of timeouts is configurable via a strategy parameter (:issue:`4193`)
+
+- Introduce depth limit in the Measurements table, limit the accepted prefix length for RIB,
+  FIB, and StrategyChoice management commands (:issue:`4262`)
+
+- Improved test cases and documentation
