+0.7.0 (to be announced) "seismic orbit"
+---------------------------------------
+
+- Starting with paraslash-0.7.0, the sha256 hash value of each known
+ audio file is stored in the database while older versions employed the
+ sha1 hash algorithm which has been considered insecure since 2005
+ and should no longer be used today. The switch from sha1 to sha256
+ requires users to upgrade their database using the new para_upgrade_db
+ program, followed by re-adding all files to recompute the hashes. With
+ this approach all metadata stored in the database (last played date,
+ num played value, moods, playlists, attributes etc.) are kept. An
+ simpler alternative is to start over from scratch by running the
+ "init" command but this will lose these metadata.
+- Server and client now hash the session keys with sha256 rather
+ than sha1 during the initial handshake. This feature is optional and
+ backwards compatible: old clients can still connect to a new server
+ (using sha1). Also new clients can connect to an old server (again
+ using sha1).
+- The new "duration" keyword of the mood grammar makes it possible to
+ impose a constraint on the duration of the admissible files.
+- The long deprecated version 1 mood syntax is no longer supported.
+- Paraslash writers handle early end-of-file more gracefully.
+- The alsa writer no longer warns about spurious underruns.
+- The score formula of the audio file selector has been reworked.
+- Cleanups of the doubly linked lists code.
+- New option for configure: --enable-ubsan to detect and report undefined
+ behaviour.
+- The "tasks" server command has been removed.
