+* PySyck-0.60.1 (2006-03-XX):
+
+  - ``setup.py``: check if ``syck.h`` is present, complain if it doesn't.
+  - ``ext/_syckmodule.c``: release GIL_ before calling Syck_. Note that this
+    change broke Python 2.2 compatibility.
+  - ``lib/syck/loader.py``, ``lib/syck/dumper.py``: change treatment of the
+    ``!str`` tag. Now ``!str``-tagged scalars are converted to Unicode strings
+    if they are valid UTF-8, but are not valid ASCII.
+  - Windows binaries are compiled against the latest Syck_ from
+    `the Syck SVN repository`_ with `my Syck patches`_.
+  - The site is moved to http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PySyck.
