+\section{Changes in version 2.0-6}{
+
+  \subsection{BUG FIXES}{
+
+    \itemize{
+
+      \item The species scores were scaled wrongly in
+      \code{capscale()}. They were scaled correctly only when Euclidean
+      distances were used, but usually \code{capscale()} is used with
+      non-Euclidean distances.  Most graphics will change and should be
+      redone.  The change of scaling mainly influences the spread of
+      species scores with respect to the site scores.
+
+      \item Function \code{clamtest()} failed to set the minimum
+      abundance threshold in some cases. In addition, the output was
+      wrong when some of the possible species groups were missing. Both
+      problems were reported by Richard Telford (Bergen, Norway).
+
+      \item Plotting an object fitted by \code{envfit()} would fail if
+      \code{p.max} was used and there were unused levels for one or
+      more factors. The unused levels could result from deletion of
+      observations with missing values or simply as the result of
+      supplying a subset of a larger data set to \code{envfit()}.
+
+      \item \code{multipart()} printed wrong information about the
+      analysis type (but did the analysis correctly). Reported by
+      Valerie Coudrain.
+
+      \item \code{oecosimu()} failed if its \code{nestedfun} returned a
+      data frame. A more fundamental fix will be in \pkg{vegan} 2.2-0,
+      where the structure of the \code{oecosimu()} result will change.
+
+      \item The plot of two-dimensional \code{procrustes()} solutions
+      often draw original axes in a wrong angle. The problem was
+      reported by Elizabeth Ottesen (MIT).
+
+      \item Function \code{treedive()} for functional or phylogenetic
+      diversity did not correctly match the species names between the
+      community data and species tree when the tree contained species
+      that did not occur in the data.  Related function
+      \code{treedist()} for phylogenetic distances did not try to match
+      the names at all.
+
+    }

+
+  \subsection{NEW FEATURES}{
+
+    \itemize{
+
+      \item The output of \code{capscale()} displays the value of the
+      additive constant when argument \code{add = TRUE} was used.
+      
+      \item \code{fitted()} functions for \code{cca()}, \code{rda()} and
+      \code{capscale()} can now return conditioned (partial) component
+      of the response: Argument \code{model} gained a new alternative
+      \code{model = "pCCA"}. 
+
+      \item \code{dispindmorisita()} output gained a new column for
+      Chi-squared based probabilities that the null hypothesis (random
+      distribution) is true.
+
+      \item \code{metaMDS()} and \code{monoMDS()} have new default
+      convergence criteria. Most importantly, scale factor of the
+      gradient (\code{sfgrmin}) is stricter. The former limit was too
+      slack with large data sets and iterations stopped early without
+      getting close to the solution. In addition, \code{scores()}
+      ignore now requests to dimensions beyond those calculated
+      instead of failing, and \code{scores()} for \code{metaMDS()}
+      results do not drop dimensions.
+
+      \item \code{msoplot()} gained \code{legend} argument for
+      positioning the legend.
+
+      \item Nestedness function \code{nestednodf()} gained a \code{plot}
+      method.
+
+      \item \code{ordiR2step()} gained new argument \code{R2scope}
+      (defaults \code{TRUE}) which can be used to turn off the criterion
+      of stopping when the adjusted \eqn{R^2}{R-squared} of the current
+      model exceeds that of the scope.  This option allows model
+      building when the \code{scope} would be overdetermined (number of
+      predictors higher than number of observations).
+
+      \code{ordiR2step()} now handles partial redundancy analysis
+      (pRDA).
+
+      \item \code{orditorp()} gained argument \code{select} to select
+      the rows or columns of the results to display.
+
+      \item \code{protest()} prints the standardized residual statistic
+      \eqn{m_{12}^2}{squared m12} in addition to the squared Procrustes
+      correlation \eqn{R^2}{R-squared}.  Both were calculated, but only
+      the latter was displayed.
+
+      Permutation tests are much faster in \code{protest()}. Instead
+      of calling repeatedly \code{procrustes()}, the goodness of fit
+      statistic is evaluated within the function. 
+
+      \item \code{wcmdscale()} gained methods for \code{print},
+      \code{plot} etc. of the results. These methods are only used if
+      the full \code{wcmdscale} result is returned with, e.g., argument
+      \code{eig = TRUE}. The default is still to return only a matrix of
+      scores similarly as the standard \R function \code{cmdscale()},
+      and in that case the new methods are not used.
