+0.4.12 (2012-12-20) "volatile relativity"
+-----------------------------------------
+The new command line player, the resample filter, ALSA support for
+para_fade, and the improved build system are the highlights of this
+release which probably marks the end of the 0.4.x series.
+
+ - The afh receiver and the para_play executable.
+ - The resample filter: A sample rate converter based on
+ libsamplerate.
+ - The "versions" directory has been removed from the master
+ branch. The tarballs of the old releases are now available
+ in the new "releases" branch.
+ - Overhaul of the build system: All generated files are now
+ written to the "build" directory.
+ - The modular mixer API and the alsa mixer.
+ - Minor fixes for the osx writer.
+
+--------------------------------------
+0.4.11 (2012-07-20) "mutual diversity"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The major feature in this release is the new sideband API for
+client-server communication. This API will be used exclusively starting
+with 0.5.0, which breaks backward compatibility but allows to get rid
+of quite some compatibility code. Other noteworthy changes include
+decoder latency improvements and a long-standing bug fix for the
+ALSA writer.
