 0.7.2 (to be announced) "optical friction"
 ------------------------------------------
 
+- A major cleanup of the audio file selector.
+- The client no longer prints error messages from afs commands to
+  stdout but to stderr.
+- The sleep subcommand of para_mixer gained two options to control
+  the startup mood and the time period before fade-out starts. A bunch
+  of further improvements for this subcommand went in as well.
 - Minor cleanup of the net subsystem.
+- The openssl specific code now employs the EVP API to compute hashes.
+  It should compile without warnings against openssl-3.
+- The deprecated syntax for specifying negative offsets in the argument
+  to the "ff" server command has been removed.
