 Version 3.0.7
 -------------
+Not released
 
+A long wanted release that provide both new features and bugfixes.
+
+- Font and Font Size preferences. That's a big change!
+
+- The Amiga recipe is almost fully rewritted.
+  It provide a double top bar that is more AmigaOS like (mac users
+  will like it too). The notification aera is moved near the media
+  button. The swallowing of the trayer application is fixed.
+  The buttons at the bottom are now in a range, with the possibility
+  to show only some of them.
+
+- New Wing-Commander recipe by Peter McConnell. Nice and fonctionnal.
+
+- A lot of style loading order fixes. The FvwmForm and FvwmIdent
+  windows doesn't need anymore a restart to be readable.
+
+- A few new colorsets and windows decorations.
+
+- The mixer controls are moved into a unique file.
+
+- Music controls in 2 parts, one file for the common functions,
+  one file per player for the player specific functions.
+
+- Media preferences moved to the media button or menu.
+
+- Unified media button with recipes that support it.
+
+- Full rewrite and debugging of the different maximize functions.
+  It is still a few things to do, but it is allready much better.
+  The main change is that they remember pretty well the last used
+  size now. Another change is a new "minimize" function that will
+  reduce the window size.
+
+- Some syntax changes in order to support fvwm-2.5.31.
+
+- Older fvwm versions than 2.5.31 are not supported anymore.
+
+- Launch of Info browser using xemacs, tkinfo or pinfo from the developer
+  menu.
+
+For a complete list of the changes, please read the ChangeLog file.
+
+
+Version 3.0.6
+-------------
+
 A lot of changes. The bad news is than the bugfixes from the 3.0.5 version
 will or not work anymore. So, please, if you don't have 3.0.5, update first
 to 3.0.5, and follow the instruction for the 3.0.5 update before updating
