+New in 0.6.0
+* Tons of improvements with scenery creation.  Inter-tile gaps have been
+  fixed, distorted textures have been fixed, real coastlines have been added,
+  and many other subtle improvements.
+* Tools for parallelizing the scenery building tasks.  For instance by using
+  20 machines in parallel, scenery for the entire USA can be regenerated in
+  just over 4 hours vs. 70+ hours on a single machine.
+* Texture scale can be specified (and changed)( in the materials file.  The
+  sim must be rerun for the change to take effect.
+* Windows now uses plib joystick code so rudder pedals should now work.
+* Now builds against Steve Baker's plib (portable game devel library)

+* Many source code changes for the MacOS port contributed by Darrell
+  Walisser (the port isn't quite there yet ...)

+* Autopilot improvements contributed by Norman Vine.
+* Fonts/characters now drawn with texture maps for increased speed.
+* Instrument panel can be toggled on and off with "P".

+* HUD appearance and layout changes contributed by Norman Vine, includes
+  faster font drawing for much better performance.
+* Reset function added to reset you to your starting conditions.
+* GUI function to enter a new airport id (and be transported there)
+* Added serial output support for an "in-development" full motion cockpit.
+* "Just in time" texture loading to reduce initial sim loading time.
