+
+       - audiod: The format specifier for receivers, filters and
+         writers is now treated as a regular expression. This allows
+         to replace 5 lines in the config file (one for each audio
+         format) by one single line. See the manual for details.
+       - Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang.
+       - Rewrite of the osx writer (output plugin for Mac OS).

+The new ao writer, support for ssh RSA keys and a couple of other
+enhancements.
+
+       - Support for ESD, Pulseaudio, AIX, Solaris, IRIX and other
+         platforms through the libao audio library.
+       - Support for RSA keys generated with ssh-keygen.
+       - configure: improved options for ogg/vorbis/speex.
+       - The git version reported by --version always matches HEAD.
+       - The autogen script detects the number of processors and
+         runs a parallel make if possible.
+       - Major cleanup of the crypto API.
+       - Documentation updates.

+0.4.6 (2011-03-31) "deterministic entropy"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Lots of ogg/vorbis improvements, the new test suite, enhancements
+for para_gui and a fair amount of other bug fixes.
+
+       - For DCCP/OGG streams the audio file header is only sent once
+         at the beginning of the stream rather than periodically
+         every five seconds. This reduces network traffic and the
+         FEC group size.
+       - The vorbis comment header is replaced by an empty dummy header
+         before the header is sent over the network. This also results in
+         less network traffic and smaller FEC groups.
+       - The new "test" make target allows to perform some sanity checks prior
+         to installing the package.
+       - ogg timing fixes and performance improvements
+       - Scheduler improvements
+       - Proper exit codes for para_write
+       - para_gui: New option --theme to select a startup theme. Several
+         other improvements and fixes.
+       - aacdec error message cleanups
+       - simplified color error handling
