+* Changes up to version 3.1
 
-* Changes up to version 2.1
+** Server
+
+The 'gap' directive will no longer work.  It could be restored if there
+is real demand.
+
+*** Event Scheduling
+
+It is now possible to schedule events to occur in the future.  Currently
+the supported actions are playing a specific track, and changing a
+global preference (thus allowing e.g. random play to be turned on or
+off).  See the schedule-* commands described in disorder(1).
+
+*** Random Track Choice
+
+This has been completely rewritten to support new features:
+   - tracks in the recently-played list or in the queue are no longer
+     eligible for random choice
+   - there is a new 'weight' track preference allowing for non-uniform
+     track selection.  See disorder(1) for details.
+   - there is a new configuration item replay_min defining the minimum
+     time before a played track can be picked at random.  The default is
+     8 hours (which matches the earlier behaviour).
+   - recently added tracks are biased up; see new_bias and new_bias_age
+     in disorder_config(5).
+
+*** Web Interface
+
+This has been largely rewritten.  The most immediate benefits are:
+   - the search page is integrated into the choose page, and includes
+     links to parent directories
+   - if you try to do something you have insufficient rights for,
+     instead of getting an error page or nothing happening, you are
+     redirected to the login page
+
+Customizers should find their lives easier: the syntax is less onerous,
+it is possible to define macros to avoid repetition, and the
+documentation is less monolithic.
+
+** Disobedience
+
+There is now a new user management window.  From here you can add and
+remove users or modify their settings.
+
+Relatedly, the server will only allow remote user management if you set
+remote_userman to 'yes'.
+
+** Miscellaneous
+
+scripts/setup now honors command line options, and can set up network
+play as well as the local default sound device.
+
+** Bugs Fixed
+
+ #2 Search results should link to directories
+ #6 Schedule tracks for a particular time
+#10 Non-uniform track selection
+#11 Bias random selection to newly added tracks
+#16 Cookie expiry causes user to be silently logged out and not
+    subsequently redirected to login page
+#20 Broken aliasing rules
+
+* Changes up to version 3.0.2
+
+Builds --without-server should work again.
+
+The web interface is a bit more liberal in the cookie value syntax it
+will accept.
+
+Clients fail more gracefully if no password is available.
+
+* Changes up to version 3.0.1
+
+Debian upgrades from 2.0.x should now work better.
+
+* Changes up to version 3.0
+
+Important!  See README.upgrades when upgrading.
+
+** Platforms And Installation
+
+Mac OS X and FreeBSD are somewhat supported.  There is now a bash script
+in scripts/setup which will automate the setup after 'make install'.
