-<h2>Changes up to version 4.4</h2>
+<p><b>IMPORTANT</b>: you should read <a
+href="README.upgrades.html">README.upgrades</a> before upgrading.</p>
+
+<h2>Changes up to version 5.1</h2>
+
+<div class=section>
+
+  <h3>Removable Device Support</h3>
+
+  <div class=section>
+
+    <p>The server will now automatically initiate a rescan when a filesystem is
+    mounted or unmounted.  (Use the <tt>mount_rescan</tt> option if you want to
+    suppress this behavior.)</p>
+
+    <p>The server takes care not to hold audio files open unnecessarily, so
+    that devices can be unmounted even if tracks from them are currently being
+    buffered.</p>
+
+  </div>
+
+  <h3>Disobedience</h3>
+
+  <div class=section>
+
+    <p>You can now edit the <tt>required-tags</tt> and <tt>prohibited-tags</tt>
+    global preferences in Disobedience
+    (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=29">issue
+    #29</a>).</p>
+
+    <p>The &ldquo;Manage users&rdquo; option is now more reliably greyed out if
+    it will not work.  This depends on a server change too, so it may still be
+    wrong if a new Disobedience is used against an old server.</p>
+
+    <p>A <tt>.desktop</tt> file is now shipped, making Disobedience visible as
+    an application in freedesktop.org-compliant systems.</p>
+
+  </div>
+
+  <h3>Backups</h3>
+
+  <div class=section>
+
+    <p>The Debian package now includes a cronjob that backs up the database
+    daily.  See <tt>/etc/cron.d/disorder</tt>.  You can put settings
+    in <tt>/etc/default/disorder</tt> to turn this off or to control how long
+    the backups are kept for.</p>
+
+    <p>The <tt>disorder-dump -r</tt> option was broken.</p>
+
+    <p><tt>disorder-dump</tt> now gets permissions right automatically (<a
+    href="http://code.google.com/p/disorder/issues/detail?id=56">issue
+    #56</a>).</p>
+
+  </div>

+

+
+    <p>Unicode support has been upgraded to <a
+    href="http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode6.0.0/">Unicode
+    6.0.0</a>.</p>
+
+    <p>Client programs no longer depend on libdb.</p>
+    
+    <p>The following have been removed:</p>
+
+    <ul>
+
+      <li>The <tt>allow</tt>, <tt>gap</tt>, <tt>lock</tt>, <tt>prefsync</tt>, 
+      <tt>restrict</tt>, <tt>trust</tt> configuration commands.  If they still
+      appear in your configuration file then the server will not start.</li>
+
+      <li>The <tt>columns</tt> web interface option.  It will generate an
+      message in your error log but otherwise be ignored.</li>
+
+      <li>The <tt>--wait-for-device</tt> player option.  If it still appears in
+      any player commands, they will not work.</li>
+
+      <li>Support for automatically importing pre-3.0 users.</li>
+
+    </ul>
+
+    <p>Various minor bug fixes.</p>
