 0.5.1 (to be announced) "temporary implication"
 ----------------------------------------------
 
-Lots of fixes and improvements all over the place.
+Lots of fixes and improvements all over the place, and a major overhaul
+of the build system.
 
        - Audiod improvements and fixes.
        - Buffer tree robustness improvements.
        - Cleanup of the mood subsystem.
        - Fixes and cleanups for the flac decoder.
        - Latency improvements for the ogg/opus decoder.
+       - Crypto support is now optional. On systems without
+         openssl/gcrypt, the build succeeds but para_server,
+         para_audiod, para_client won't be built.
+       - The build system now works for cross-compile setups.
+       - The dependency tree has been flattened, which speeds up
+         builds and avoids to recreate the man pages on every change.
+       - The error code helper has been rewritten from perl to C,
+         which further improves build time.
+       - Many small bugs in the build system have been identified
+         and fixed.
