 # RcppParallel (development version)
 
+* On Windows, RcppParallel once again loads its compatibility stub library
+  (`tbb.dll`) when the package is loaded. Packages linking with `-ltbb`
+  (e.g. via StanHeaders) record a load-time dependency on `tbb.dll`, which
+  can only be resolved if RcppParallel has already loaded it; with
+  RcppParallel 6.0.0, such packages would fail to load with "LoadLibrary
+  failure: The specified module could not be found".
+
 * The bundled oneTBB headers now guard against GCC's `<cpuid.h>` being
   included before `<intrin.h>` on Windows (mingw). Previously, translation
   units including `<cpuid.h>` before any TBB header would fail to compile,
