+0.6.0 (2017-04-28) "fuzzy flux"
+-------------------------------
+
+The highlights of this release are the conversion of all option parsers
+to the lopsub library and the improved AAC support. But there are
+many other user-visible changes all over the place. Also a lot of
+old cruft has been removed, leading to incompatible changes. Hence
+the new major version number.
+
- Support for Mac OS X has been removed.
- On Linux systems, glibc-2.17 or newer is required to build the
source tree.
installation directory. This feature is orthogonal to the --prefix
option to configure.
- Minor WMA cleanups.
+- The aac audio format handler has been rewritten to use the mp4ff library.
+ See the manual for how to install the library on your system.
+- New status item: max_chunk_size. The value is stored in a previously
+ unused field of the afhi object of the aft table. Although backwards
+ compatible, users are encouraged to re-add m4a files to populate
+ the new field.
+- No more chunk tables for aac. Chunk boundaries are determined
+ dynamically at stream time.
+- Release and master branch tarballs are now compressed with xz rather
+ than bzip2.
+- The lopsub package is required to install the paraslash package.
+ Gengetopt is no longer needed.
+- make dep is gone. Dependencies have been created automatically for
+ a long time and it was never necessary to run make dep manually.
+- para_gui lost its --timeout option.
+- Most manual pages have been extended to include an overall
+ description of the command.
+- The --stream-delay option of para_audiod has been removed. It had
+ been a no-op for many years.
+- The deprecated --path option of the server ls command has been
+ removed. The command now prints full paths by default, making
+ --full-path a no-op. Hence --full-path has been depreacted and is
+ scheduled for removal in v0.6.1.
+- It is now possible to use 'CFLAGS' to override the default compiler
+ options.
+- para_fade has been renamed to para_mixer. The four modes of operation
+ (set, fade, snooze, sleep) are implemented as subcommands of the
+ new program.
+- The sleep subcommand of para_mixer (former sleep mode of para_fade)
+ lost its --wake-hour and --wake-min options in favor of the new
+ --wake-time option which also accepts relative wakeup times like
+ "+9:30".
+- The new --fade-exponent option of para_mixer allows for non-linear
+ channel fading.
+- The new logo.
