-0.4.0 (to be announced) "simultaneous independence"
----------------------------------------------------
+---------------------------------------------
+0.4.3 (to be announced) "imaginary radiation"
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ - Fix an end-of-file detection bug in the oggdec filter.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.2 (2010-04-23) "associative expansion"
+------------------------------------------
+
+It's been some time since the last release, but finally here is
+paraslash-0.4.2. The bulk of the changes comes from the new buffer
+tree API, but there are changes all over the tree. Mainly performance
+and usability improvements, but also quite some bug fixes.
+
+ - The new buffer tree API.
+ - DCCP: Support for CCID negotiation (Gerrit Renker).
+ - UDP robustness fixes.
+ - The --bufsize option for mp3dec is gone as it no longer makes sense
+ for the new buffer tree API.
+ - Fix audible buffer underruns for wma streams.
+ - The alsa writer no longer prints meaningless underrun durations.
+ - audiod: Defaults work also for udp streams. If no filter is
+ given for an audio format that is received via upd, fecdec is
+ automatically added as the first filter (along with the decoder).
+
+---------------------------------------
+0.4.1 (2009-12-22) "concurrent horizon"
+---------------------------------------
+
+Support for another audio format, minor feature enhancements and lots of bug
+fixes. All fixes that have been accumulated in the maint branch (in particular
+those mentionened in the 0.3.6 release notes) appear in this release as well.
+
+ - wma support.
+ - new afh option: --human to activate human-readable output.
+ - new server/audiod option: --log-timing to print timing information.
+ - build system improvements.
+ - source code documentation updates.
+
+-------------------------------------
+0.3.6 (2009-12-07) "cubic continuity"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Quite a few bugs have been found and fixed since 0.3.5, so here's
+another 0.3.x release. No new features.
+
+ - Always check return value of malloc().
+ - ogg vorbis/FEC: Do not write garbage after the audio file header.
+ - exit if root privileges could not be dropped.
+ - FEC: Fix computation of extra slices.
+ - oss: Fix check for empty input buffer.
+ - Avoid buffer underruns due to filter chain output buffer constraints.
+ - server: Fix assignment of afs_pid.
+ - Don't panic if the afs database contains unknown audio formats.
+ - http/dccp: Do not send the audio file header twice.
+ - FEC: Timing improvements.
+
+----------------------------------------------
+0.4.0 (2009-11-10) "simultaneous independence"
+----------------------------------------------
Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
- stronger crypto for client authentication
- the database code has been moved to a library
- improved status item handling
+ - cleanup of the build system
+ - The "-V" option now also prints the git version
- the new parser-friendly listing mode for the ls and stat commands
- mandatory rc4 encryption
- major audio format handler cleanups
- - improved tag handling
- - lots of new mood methods
+ - (id3,...) tags are no longer stored as a combined string in the database
+ - new mood methods: artist_matches, title_matches, comment_matches,
+ album_matches, year_maches, year.

+0.3.5 (2009-09-21) "symplectic separability"
+--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
-0.3.5 (to be announced) "symplectic separability"
--------------------------------------------------
+Full client support for *BSD Unixes, complete re-write of the ogg
+vorbis audio format handler, various improvements all over the place
+and the usual mix of bugfixes. This release marks the end of the 0.3
+series if no serious problems show up.
- the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux)
+ - rewrite of the ogg vorbis audio format handler. It's
+ recommended to replace the chunk tables of existing ogg
+ vorbis files in the afs database by re-adding these files
+ with "add -f".
- support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker)
- the new prebuffer filter
- improved signal handling
- variable fec output buffer size
+ - improved FEC timing fixes audible buffer underruns in UDP mode
- --log_color actually works
- new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch)
- update to gengetopt 2.22.2
- support for RSA keys of size > 512 bits
+ - new option "mixer_channel" for para_fade
