 0.7.1 (to be announced) "digital spindrift"
 -------------------------------------------
 
+- 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+- All calls to select(2) have been replaced by calls to poll(2)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).
