-0.7.1 (to be announced) "digital spindrift"
--------------------------------------------
+-------------------------------------
+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.

+0.7.1 (2022-10-03) "digital spindrift"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The two new ll commands and the internal mp4ff library are the most
+user-visible changes of this release. On top of that there are two
+core changes which aim to improve the robustness of the code but which
+are otherwise invisible: the switch from select(2) to poll(2) and the
+revised memory allocation API which checks for integer overflows. The
+release also comes with a slight change to the build system and the
+usual mix of bug fixes and minor improvements not mentioned here.
 
 - The autogen.sh script now only creates the autoconf specific files
   but no longer runs configure, make and the test suite.

   new ll command. It is available for para_server and para_audiod.
 - All calls to select(2) have been replaced by calls to poll(2)
   to avoid known shortcomings of the select API.
+- All allocation functions now check for integer overflow. Since this
+  requires support from the compiler, the oldest supported gcc version
+  has been bumped to gcc-5.4 (released in 2015).

+This release contains a few important fixes which have accumulated in

+- Initialize the random seed also when using libgrypt.
+- Fix some compiler warnings in the resample filter
