+- Old style PEM keys are now deprecated. They still work but their
+  use results in a run-time warning. The removal of PEM key support is
+  scheduled for paraslash-0.8.0.
+- Version 1.0 of the openssl library has been deprecated. A warning
+  is printed at compile-time on systems which have this outdated version
+  because it will no longer be supported once paraslash-0.8.0 comes out.
+- A spring cleanup for the senescent code in fd.c.
+- The --admissible option of the ls command now takes an optional
+  argument. When invoked like --admissible=m/foo, only files which are
+  admissible with respect to mood foo are listed.
+- The select server command is now quiet by default, The new --verbose
+  option can be used to show information about the newly loaded mood
+  or playlist.

+  on the number of files listed.
