+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.

   virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio

 - 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.
