+API change
+----------
+
+The Database.curuserid attribute was removed. Any code referencing this
+attribute should be replaced with a call to Database.getuid().
 
-All RDBMS backends now have indexes automatically created on critical
-table columns.
 
-Additionally, the RDBMS backends also implement their own session,
-one-time-key and full-text indexing stores. These were previously external
-dbm stores. This change allows control of locking the database to be
-completely handed over to the RDBMS.
+New configuration options
+-------------------------
 
-Date values capture fractions of seconds now. Note that the MySQL backend
-is not capable of storing this precision though, so it will be lost for
-users of that backend.
+- Added DEFAULT_TIMEZONE which allows the tracker to have a different
+  default to UTC when users don't specify their own preference.
+
+- Added EMAIL_CHARSET (in 0.6.6, but worth mentioning here) which hard-codes
+  the character set to be used when sending email from Roundup. This works
+  around some email clients' inability to cope well with UTF-8 (the
+  default).
