   clients.
 
+VCL
+===
+
+VCL programs for Varnish 6.1 can be expected to run without changes in
+the new version.
+
+A VCL load will now issue a warning, but does not fail as previously,
+if a backend declaration uses the ``.path`` field to specify a Unix
+domain socket, but the socket file does not exist or is not accessible
+at VCL load time. This makes it possible to start the peer component
+listening at the socket, or set its permissions, after Varnish starts
+or the VCL is loaded. Backend fetches fail if the socket is not
+accessible by the time the fetch is attempted.
+
+Runtime parameters
+==================
+
+Some varnishd ``-p`` parameters that have been deprecated for some
+time have been removed. If you haven't changed them yet, you have to
+now.  These are:
+
+* ``shm_reclen`` -- use :ref:`ref_param_vsl_reclen` instead
+
+* ``vcl_dir`` -- use :ref:`ref_param_vcl_path` instead
+
+* ``vmod_dir`` -- use :ref:`ref_param_vmod_path` instead
+
+varnishadm and the CLI
+======================
+
+The output formats of the ``vcl.list`` and ``backend.list`` commands
+have changed, see :ref:`whatsnew_changes_vcl_list_backend_list` and
+:ref:`varnish-cli(7)` for details. In non-JSON mode, the width of
+columns in ``backend.list`` and ``vcl.list`` output is now dynamic, to
+fit the width of the terminal window.
+
+The ``-j`` option for JSON output has been added to a number of
+commands, see :ref:`whatsnew_changes_cli_json` and
+:ref:`varnish-cli(7)`. We recommend the use of JSON format for
+automated parsing of CLI responses (:ref:`varnishadm(1)` output).
