====
----------------------------------------------
-0.2.15 (to be announced) "inductive resonance"
+0.3.4 (to be announced) "elliptic inheritance"
----------------------------------------------
+ - new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize
+ - Improved man pages for para_recv/para_filter and para_write.
+
+--------------------------------------------
+0.3.3 (2008-12-01) "axiomatic perspectivity"
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Internal code cleanups, bug fixes, improved tag handling and the new
+amplification filter.
+
+ - para_server uses the generic scheduling code.
+ - overhaul of the virtual streaming system.
+ - mp3: id3 version 2 support via libid3tag (optional)
+ - ogg: vorbis comment support.
+ - aac meta info support.
+ - mp3 audio format handler cleanups.
+ - new filter: "amp" to amplify the amplitude of the audio stream
+ - new status item/database entry: amplification. It is
+ used by the amp filter to pre-amplify the audio stream.
+ - fix a close-without-open bug in para_write.
+ - fix a bug in com_init() which was introduced in 0.3.2.
+ - better error diagnostics for para_client.
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.3.2 (2008-04-11) "probabilistic parity"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The new para_afh executable, scheduling and documentation improvements.
+
+ - new ls option: -lc (list chunk table)
+ - new executable: para_afh, the stand-alone audio file handler tool
+ - afs commands can send output more than SHMMAX (32MB on Linux). This
+ also reduces the memory usage of commands that produce large amounts
+ of output.
+ - major scheduler and audiod cleanups.
+ - more detailed and much nicer man pages.
+
+---------------------------------------
+0.3.1 (2008-02-23) "liquid interaction"
+---------------------------------------
+
+A mix of cleanups, bug fixes, improvements, and some new features. No
+significant changes to the new database (osl) code, which is generally
+a good sign.
+
+ - Share some similar/duplicate code between the http and the
+ dccp sender.
+ - Generic access control lists for paraslash senders.
+ - dccp sender: Access control lists, connection limiting and support
+ for the allow,deny,on,off,help sender commands.
+ - The default dccp port changed from 5001 to 8000 (suggested by
+ Gerrit Renker).
+ - para_server starts even if not all public keys could be loaded.
+ - Audiod performance improvements.
+ - fix a bug in the "off" command of the http sender.
+ - fix some fd and memory leaks.
+ - Update to gengetopt-2.22.
+
+-------------------------------------
+0.3.0 (2008-01-12) "solar saturation"
+-------------------------------------
+
+paraslash.0.3.0 -- 'WWDBND --what would databases never do?'.
+
+
+Usually one might expect lots of new features AND a big increase in size
+for a major release like this.
+
+However, paraslash-0.3.0.tar.bz2 is the smallest paraslash tarball
+ever. The decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some
+graphical tools (which were only quick hacks anyway). But also the
+fact that the mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.
+
+Being independent of mysql comes at a cost: The fact that paraslash
+now contains its own database (the object storage layer, osl) increases
+the (stripped) binary size of para_server by ~50K on i386.
+
+ - no more restrictions on unique basenames.
+ - independent of mysql: The new self-contained object
+ storage layer (osl) replaces the mysql database.
+ - New executable para_fsck: Check integrity of osl tables.
+ - Lyrics support.
+ - Reliable audio file move/rename detection.
+ - More portable than ever: Tested on Linux (x86_32, x86_64, sparc64),
+ MacOS (ppc32, x86_32), FreeBSD (x86_32), NetBSD (x86_32) and
+ Solaris (sparc64).
+ - the new osl-based audio file selector (afs) replaces the random,
+ the playlist and the mysql selector of paraslash-0.2.x.
+ - IPv6 support (thanks to Gerrit Renker).
+ - paraslash-0.2.x streams are now called "moods". Writing
+ 0.3.x-mood definitions should be both easier and more
+ powerful than writing 0.2.x-stream definitions.
+ - para_krell, para_slider, para_para_sdl_gui, para_dbadm have
+ been removed. The world is a better place without them. However,
+ para_gui is still there.
+ - afs tracks audio file selection also in playlist mode.
+ - few easy-to-use afs commands replace the many not-so-easy-to-use
+ mysql commands (and are available also in playlist mode).
+ - Improved error subsystem.
+ - The earth-shaking new logo.
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.2.17 (2007-11-20) "isotropic threshold"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Mainly bugfixes and cleanups in this version which marks the end of
+the 0.2.x series if no serious bugs show up after the release.
+
+ - mysql_selector: fix a locking bug.
+ - universal chunk queueing.
+ - dccp sender uses chunk queueing if write() returns EAGAIN (thanks
+ to Gerrit Renker).
+ - be more carful wrt. signed vs. unsigned argument passing.
+ - cleanup error.h and fix some references to invalid error
+ codes.
+ - update to gengetopt-2.21.
+ - update to ortp-0.13.1.
+ - autoconf: extend checks for headers, library functions and
+ compiler characteristics.
+ - Fix streaming of large mp3 files.
+ - Fix an off-by-one bug in playlist handling.
+
+--------------------------------------
+0.2.16 (2007-04-05) "neural discharge"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The main change in this release is the major audio format handler
+cleanup which removes some similar/duplicate code and makes it easier
+to implement plugins for other audio formats. Of course, the usual mix
+of other improvements/changes/bugfixes also made it into the release.
+
+ - simplified audio format handlers (most of the handling functions
+ were moved one layer up to the virtual streaming system).
+ - para_server uses mmap to read audio files
+ - repositioning of mp3 streams is much faster, in particular for
+ jumping near the end of large mp3 files.
+ - permission flags DB_READ,DB_WRITE have been renamed to AFS_READ
+ and AFS_WRITE.
+ - fix a bug in para_filter that caused decoding of aac files
+ to start only after a few seconds.
+ - fix osx_writer hangs
+ - simplified dccp code (thanks to Gerrit Renker)
+ - the compress filter works also on big endian systems (ppc)
