-0.7.0 (to be announced) "seismic orbit"

+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.
+- A stripped down copy of the discontinued libmp4ff library has become
+  part of the paraslash code base. As a result it is no longer necessary
+  to install faad from source to get support for aac/m4a files. The
+  faad decoder package must still be installed.
+- The log level of the running daemon can now be changed with the
+  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+- All calls to select(2) have been replaced by calls to poll(2)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).
