0.4.11 (to be announced) "mutual diversity"
-------------------------------------------
+The major feature in this release is the new sideband API for
+client-server communication. This API will be used exclusively starting
+with 0.5.0, which breaks backward compatibility but allows to get rid
+of quite some compatibility code. Other noteworthy changes include
+decoder latency improvements and a long-standing bug fix for the
+ALSA writer.
+
