+Summary of changes for version 2.0.6:
+------------------------------------
+
+  This is primarily a bug-fixing release.  There are only a few new
+  user-visible features.
+
+  * The new built-in variable default_eval_print_flag controls whether
+    Octave prints the results of commands executed by eval() that do
+    not end with semicolons.  The default is 1.
+
+  * The new built-in constant OCTAVE_HOME specifies the top-level
+    directory where Octave is installed.
+
+  * Octave no longer includes functions to work with NPSOL or QPSOL,
+    because they are not free software.
