+0.6.3 (2021-02-18) "generalized activity"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+It has been a while since the last release, but paraslash-0.6.3
+finally has arrived. It contains a fair number of improvements,
+features and fixes all over the place.
+
+- The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the
+ virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio
+ stream. The old syntax (e.g., "ff 30-") is still supported but it
+ is deprecated and no longer documented. The compatibility code is
+ sheduled for removal after 0.7.0.
+- para_afh: New option: --preserve to reset the modification time to
+ the value of the original file after meta data modification.
+- Overhaul of the compress filter code. The refined algorithm should
+ reduce clipping. The meaning of --aggressiveness has changed, see the
+ updated and extended documentation of the compress filter for details.
+- Cleanup of the audio format handler code.
+- We now build the tree using the .ONESHELL feature of GNU make,
+ which results in a significant speedup.
+- Two robustness fixes for FreeBSD.
+- para_client now supports RFC4716 private keys as generated with
+ ssh-keygen -m RFC4716. In fact, this key format has been made the
+ default, and the former PEM keys will be depreciated at some point.
+- The ogg audio format handlers learned to detect holes and now report
+ the correct duration also if ogg pages are missing in the file. This
+ affects ogg/vorbis ogg/speex and ogg/opus.
+- Robustness improvements for para_mixer.
+- A fix for an old bug that could cause the server to crash or report
+ garbage in its status output.
+- New para_play option: --end-of-playlist
+- Streaming m4a files over udp has been improved.

+0.6.2 (2018-06-30) "elastic diversity"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The main new feature of this release is the --listen-address option
+for para_server and para_audiod. But there are also a large number of
+small improvements and bug fixes all over the place. The user-visible
+changes include
- para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when
the geometry of the terminal changes.
- Minor documentation improvements.
- Improvements to the crypto subsystem.
+- The server subcommand "task" has been deprecated. It still works,
+ but prints nothing. It will be removed in the next major release.
+- Server log output is now serialized, avoiding issues with partial
+ lines.
+- It is now possible to switch to a different afs database by changing
+ the server configuration and sending SIGHUP to the server process.
+- New server options: --listen--address, --http-listen-address and
+ --dccp-listen-address. These options restrict the set of listening
+ addresses of the TCP and DCCP sockets of the server process.
+- The help commands of server, audiod, play now support --long. By default,
+ the short help is shown.
+- The code which merges the command line options with the config file
+ options has been consolidated.
+- If the current audio file is renamed, the status items are now updated
+ accordingly.
+- After the server process received SIGHUP, changes to the current audio
+ file did not trigger an update of the status items. This has been fixed.
