+The BarnOwl Developers are pleased to announce the release of BarnOwl
+version 1.6.
+
+It has been installed in the Athena locker, and you can download it
+from the website [1] or get the source from Github [2]. BarnOwl 1.6
+contains various bug fixes and new features, including:
+
+* BarnOwl's zcrypt implementation now supports AES encryption using
+  GPG.
+
+  Please see http://barnowl.mit.edu/wiki/zcrypt for documentation
+  about how to use this feature.
+
+* The 'narrow-related' variable has been added, which controls whether
+  M-n and related commands include zephyr unclasses and instances when
+  narrowing.
+
+  Please note that by default, this feature changes the name of
+  auto-generated filters; If 'narrow-related' is set, BarnOwl will
+  generate filters of the form 'related-class-barnowl' to include '-c
+  unbarnowl' and so on.
+
+* When you are typing a command line, M-h will pop up help for the
+  command being entered, while leaving your command line for you to
+  return to once you're done reading help.
+
+* The 'typewindelta' variable now only takes effect once you open an
+  actual multiline text-entry area, not just when you open the command
+  line.
+
+* Many commands like :source that accept paths now do tab-completion.
+  to restore suspending on ^Z.
+
+The full Changelog is available online [3].
+
+Thank you for using BarnOwl, and we hope you enjoy the new release. As
+usual, any bug reports, questions, or feature requests can be directed
+to the developers at <barnowl@mit.edu>.
