-0.7.2 (to be announced) "optical friction"
-------------------------------------------
+----------------------------------------------
+0.7.3 (to be announced) "weighted correctness"
+----------------------------------------------
 
-- Minor cleanup of the net subsystem.
+- 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+  is printed at compile-time on systems which have this outdated version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.

+0.7.2 (2023-03-08) "optical friction"
+-------------------------------------
+
+The improved error reporting of afs commands and the two new options
+for the sleep subcommand of para_mixer are the most prominent features
+of this minor release. The bulk of the changes are cleanups of the
+afs and net subsystems, which should both have no user-visible impact.
+
+- 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.
