 0.4.11 (to be announced) "mutual diversity"
 -------------------------------------------
 

+The major feature in this release is the new sideband API for
+client-server communication. This API will be used exclusively starting
+with 0.5.0, which breaks backward compatibility but allows to get rid
+of quite some compatibility code. Other noteworthy changes include
+decoder latency improvements and a long-standing bug fix for the
+ALSA writer.
+

        - Sideband connections: If both para_server and para_client
          support this feature, data is sent as a multiplexed stream.
        - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
          removed.
        - Several fixes and latency improvements to various decoders.
