-current master branch "cascading gradient"
-------------------------------------------
+------------------------------------
+0.6.0 (to be announced) "fuzzy flux"
+------------------------------------
+- Support for Mac OS X has been removed.
+- On Linux systems, glibc-2.17 or newer is required to build the
+ source tree.
+- Support for RSA public keys in ASN format (as generated by openssl
+ genrsa) has been removed. These keys have been deprecated since
+ 2011, so users should have long switched to keys generated with
+ ssh-keygen(1).
+- If libgcrypt is used as the crypto library, we now require version
+ 1.5.0 (released in 2011) or later.
+- The insecure RC4 stream cipher has been removed. It was superseded
+ by aes_ctr128 three years ago but the RC4 code had been kept for
+ backwards compatibility.
+- On Linux, abstract unix domain sockets are used unconditionally.
+- The "install" target no longer strips executables, the new
+ install-strip target can be used to get the old behaviour.
+- The clean targets have been renamed: clean2 is gone, and the new
+ mostlyclean removes only the executables and object files.
+- New target: check (identical to test).
+- The DESTDIR make variable is honored to prepend a path to the
+ installation directory. This feature is orthogonal to the --prefix
+ option to configure.

+0.5.7 (2016-12-31) "semantic density"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Mostly a bug fix release, and a bunch of internal improvements.
+The only user-visible changes are the sanity checks for the touch
+command and the new options to the ls command.
+
+- Speedup of the base64 decoder.
+- One of the two source browsers has been removed from the web pages.
+ The doxygen API reference still contains an HTML version of each
+ source file.
+- Two race conditions in para_server have been fixed.
+- ls -p is now deprecated in favor of -F or -b. See the help text of
+ the ls command for details.
+- The openssl code has been adjusted to work also with openssl-1.1.
+- The wma decoder and audio format handler now correctly decodes
+ files with unusual block sizes.
+- We now compile with -Wformat-signedness if possible.
+- The touch command now refuses to set an invalid image or lyrics ID.
+- New section on contributing for the user manual.
+- Major simplification of the error subsystem.

+0.4.14 (2016-12-31) "branching oscillation"
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Many fixes for nasty bugs have accumulated over the years since 0.4.13
+was released in 2013. This release contains all of them. It is the
+last v0.4.x release, so v0.4.x is now end of life. The maint branch
+of the git repository has been forwarded to v0.5.7 and will start to
+receive important fixes for 0.5.x, which is now in maintenance mode.
+
+- Fix for the "double encryption bug" with gcrypt, which caused
+ garbage to be sent to stat clients.
+- The "prev" command of para_play now works as expected.
+- Invalid parameters for the begin and end chunk no longer cause
+ the afh receiver of para_recv to segfault.
+- A fix for an assertion that triggered in the FEC slice setup code.
+- Closing the terminal with a running para_gui causes the process to
+ die, rather than using 100% of CPU time.
+- para_gui no longer shows stale information about the previous
+ audio file.
+- A fix for a bug in the fec decoder which caused aborts if the buffer
+ pool filled up.
+- The assertion in the buffer tree code no longer triggers.
+- The "afs_event: table moods, event 0: key already exists in rbtree"
+ error no longer occurs on attribute changes.
+- A NULL pointer dereference in com_sender() has been fixed.
+- The -i option of lsatt works as advertised.
+- Various fixes for the build system.
