 Release Notes/Change History
 ----------------------------
 
+0.6a11
+ * Made ``--single-version-externally-managed`` automatic when ``--root`` is
+   used, so that most system packagers won't require special support for
+   setuptools.
+
+ * Fixed ``setup_requires``, ``tests_require``, etc. not using ``setup.cfg`` or
+   other configuration files for their option defaults when installing, and
+   also made the install use ``--multi-version`` mode so that the project
+   directory doesn't need to support .pth files.
+
+ * ``MANIFEST.in`` is now forcibly closed when any errors occur while reading
+   it.  Previously, the file could be left open and the actual error would be
+   masked by problems trying to remove the open file on Windows systems.
+
 0.6a10
  * Fixed the ``develop`` command ignoring ``--find-links``.
