+current master branch "magnetic momentum"
+-----------------------------------------
+ - On Linux systems, local sockets are now created in the
+ abstract name space by default. This allows to get rid of
+ the socket specials in /var/paraslash.
+ - 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.

+0.5.2 (2014-04-11) "orthogonal interior"
+----------------------------------------
+
The new sync filter, the AES_CTR128 stream cipher and the overhauled
network code are the highlights of this release. It also includes a
fair number of smaller fixes and improvements not mentioned here.
- The man pages of para_audiod, para_filter, para_recv, and
para_write contain the relevant options for receivers, filters,
writers. This broke in 0.5.0.
+ - ogg/vorbis latency improvements.
- Improved user manual.
- Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.
