-Preliminary support for routing IPv6 packets has been added. Just add Subnet
-lines with IPv6 addresses (without using :: abbreviations) and use ifconfig to
-give the virtual network interface corresponding IPv6 addresses.
-Autoconfiguration will not work in router mode.
+Support for routing IPv6 packets has been added. Just add Subnet lines with
+IPv6 addresses (without using :: abbreviations) and use ifconfig or ip (from
+the iproute package) to give the virtual network interface corresponding IPv6
+addresses. tinc does not provide autoconfiguration for IPv6 hosts, if you need
+it use radvd or zebra. Tunneling IPv6 packets only works on Linux, FreeBSD and
+possibly OpenBSD.
+
+It is also possible to make tunnels to other tinc daemons over IPv6 networks.
+In order to enable this feature the option "AddressFamily = any" or
+"AddressFamily = ipv6" must be added to the tinc.conf file. The host
+configuration files should contain IPv6 addresses for the "Address" variables,
+or hostnames which have an AAAA or A6 record.
