+ - The --user-allow option of para_audiod now accepts also
+ usernames rather than only user IDs.
+ - New autoconf macros to avoid duplication in configure.ac.
+ - Status items (as shown by para_gui) are updated correctly
+ when the meta information of the current audio changes.
+ - para_server and para_audiod no longer refuse to start in
+ the background if no log file is given. Instead, all log
+ messages go to /dev/null in this case.
+ - Web page cleanup.
