+0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There

+the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
+they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
+
+
+ o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
+ selector)
+
+ o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
+ para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
+ more info (and some examples).
+
+ o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
- o switch from cvs to git
+ o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
o the new ipc subsystem
o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
- choose another selector at startup, or the cdt command to
- switch between the supported selectors.
+ choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
+ change the selector at runtime.
o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
