+0.5.0 (2013-08-23) "invertible validity"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Some API-breaking changes, one serious bug fix, and a lot of bike-shedding.
+
+ - The sideband compatibility code has been removed, hence
+ sideband connections (introduced in 0.4.11) are now mandatory.
+ - Addblob commands can produce output.
+ - The stat command no longer sends garbage when para_server was
+ compiled against libgcrypt.
+ - Dependencies for gengetopt files are computed automatically.
+ This eliminates a constant source of build bugs.
+ - The setatt command now accepts file name patterns rather than only
+ path names.
+ - overview.pdf is now based on dia, a simple diagram creation program.
+ The new version is much more detailed and contains descriptions of
+ the various programs of the paraslash package.
+ - The separator of all multi-word options has been changed from
+ underscore to dash. For example --log_color becomes --log-color.
+ - Overhauled web pages and the new logo.
