+Version 6.6.0b1 — 2022-10-31
+----------------------------

+- Changes to file pattern matching, which might require updating your
+  configuration:
+
+  - Previously, ``*`` would incorrectly match directory separators, making
+    precise matching difficult.  This is now fixed, closing `issue 1407`_.
+
+  - Now ``**`` matches any number of nested directories, including none.
 
 - Improvements to combining data files when using the
   :ref:`config_run_relative_files` setting:
