+0.6.3 (2021-02-18) "generalized activity"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+It has been a while since the last release, but paraslash-0.6.3
+finally has arrived. It contains a fair number of improvements,
+features and fixes all over the place.
- The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the
virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio
- Cleanup of the audio format handler code.
- We now build the tree using the .ONESHELL feature of GNU make,
which results in a significant speedup.
+- Two robustness fixes for FreeBSD.
+- para_client now supports RFC4716 private keys as generated with
+ ssh-keygen -m RFC4716. In fact, this key format has been made the
+ default, and the former PEM keys will be depreciated at some point.
+- The ogg audio format handlers learned to detect holes and now report
+ the correct duration also if ogg pages are missing in the file. This
+ affects ogg/vorbis ogg/speex and ogg/opus.
+- Robustness improvements for para_mixer.
+- A fix for an old bug that could cause the server to crash or report
+ garbage in its status output.
+- New para_play option: --end-of-playlist
+- Streaming m4a files over udp has been improved.
