+0.?.? (to be announced) "volatile relativity"
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ - The "versions" directory has been removed from the master
+ branch. The tarballs of the old releases are now available
+ in the new "releases" branch.
+
+--------------------------------------
+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.
+
+ - Sideband connections: If both para_server and para_client
+ support this feature, data is sent as a multiplexed stream.
+ - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
+ removed.
+ - Several fixes and latency improvements to various decoders.
+ - The ALSA writer now limits the prebuffer time to 500ms.
+ - Documentation improvements.
+ - Overhaul of the command_util.sh script.
+ - Fixes for some minor problems found by the clang analyzer.
+ - Compiles (almost) without warnings on gcc-3.
+ - Robustness improvements of the buffer tree code.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.10 (2012-03-30) "heterogeneous vacuum"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Nothing earth-shaking in this release, but quite a few usability
+improvements and the usual mix of cleanups and fixes.
+
+ - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
+ deprecated. It still works but has no effect and will be
+ removed in the next version.
+ - para_gui now prints also the stderr output of the executing
+ command in the bottom window.
+ - Cleanup and consolidation of the various wrappers for
+ write(), writev(), send() and friends.
+ - The obscure error messages on mmap() failures have been
+ replaced by meaningful messages. This affects mainly
+ para_afh.
+ - para_audioc: Cleanups and memory leak fixes.
+ - Test 0004-server no longer fails if para_server is not
+ being built.
+ - New configure options: --with-id3tag-{headers,libs}.
