+--------------------------------------------
+
+Support for another audio format, minor feature enhancements and lots of bug
+fixes. All fixes that have been accumulated in the maint branch (in particular
+those mentionened in the 0.3.6 release notes) appear in this release as well.
+
+ - wma support.
+ - new afh option: --human to activate human-readable output.
+ - new server/audiod option: --log-timing to print timing information.
+ - build system improvements.
+ - source code documentation updates.
+
+-------------------------------------
+0.3.6 (2009-12-07) "cubic continuity"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Quite a few bugs have been found and fixed since 0.3.5, so here's
+another 0.3.x release. No new features.
+
+ - Always check return value of malloc().
+ - ogg vorbis/FEC: Do not write garbage after the audio file header.
+ - exit if root privileges could not be dropped.
+ - FEC: Fix computation of extra slices.
+ - oss: Fix check for empty input buffer.
+ - Avoid buffer underruns due to filter chain output buffer constraints.
+ - server: Fix assignment of afs_pid.
+ - Don't panic if the afs database contains unknown audio formats.
+ - http/dccp: Do not send the audio file header twice.
+ - FEC: Timing improvements.

-0.3.4 (to be announced) "elliptic inheritance"
+0.4.0 (2009-11-10) "simultaneous independence"
----------------------------------------------
-The new udp sender and several small improvements.
+Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
+improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
+has been moved to a library, libosl. To use the new version, you have
+to generate new RSA keys, see INSTALL for details. A shell script is
+provided for conversion of the 0.3 database to the new 0.4 format.
+
+ - stronger crypto for client authentication
+ - the database code has been moved to a library
+ - improved status item handling
+ - cleanup of the build system
+ - The "-V" option now also prints the git version
+ - the new parser-friendly listing mode for the ls and stat commands
+ - mandatory rc4 encryption
+ - major audio format handler cleanups
+ - (id3,...) tags are no longer stored as a combined string in the database
+ - new mood methods: artist_matches, title_matches, comment_matches,
+ album_matches, year_maches, year.

+--------------------------------------------
+0.3.5 (2009-09-21) "symplectic separability"
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Full client support for *BSD Unixes, complete re-write of the ogg
+vorbis audio format handler, various improvements all over the place
+and the usual mix of bugfixes. This release marks the end of the 0.3
+series if no serious problems show up.
+
+ - the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux)
+ - rewrite of the ogg vorbis audio format handler. It's
+ recommended to replace the chunk tables of existing ogg
+ vorbis files in the afs database by re-adding these files
+ with "add -f".
+ - support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker)
+ - the new prebuffer filter
+ - improved signal handling
+ - variable fec output buffer size
+ - improved FEC timing fixes audible buffer underruns in UDP mode
+ - --log_color actually works
+ - new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch)
+ - update to gengetopt 2.22.2
+ - support for RSA keys of size > 512 bits
+ - new option "mixer_channel" for para_fade
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.3.4 (2009-05-07) "elliptic inheritance"
+-----------------------------------------
- - The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code is
- both smaller and cleaner than the old ortp sender/receiver
- code. As the udp sender does not depend on any special
- libraries, it is built unconditionally. The default port
- for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like for the http
- and the dccp senders/receivers.

+
+ - The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code uses forward
+ error correction to protect against packet losses. Many thanks to
+ Gerrit Renker for providing ipv6 support.
+ - The default port for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like
+ for the http and the dccp senders/receivers.
+ - Loglevels are now specified as symbolic names, e.g.
+ "--loglevel info".
+ - improved ipv4 and ipv6 URI parser (Gerrit Renker).
+ - para_server/para_audiod: Color support for log messages.
- new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize
- new audiod option: --config-file.
+ - gengetopt cleanups.
- Improved help/man pages: The documentation of para_audiod,
para_recv, para_filter and para_write now also contains
- all options of the available receivers/filters/writers.
+ all options of the available receivers/filters/writers. The
+ man page of para_fade contains a description of the different
+ modes of operation.
+ - More source code documentation.
+ - vss timing fixes.
