+0.5.1 (2013-12-20) "temporary implication"
+------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+----------------------------------------
+0.5.0 (2013-08-23) "invertible validity"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Some API-breaking changes, one serious bug fix, and a lot of bike-shedding.
+
+       - The sideband compatibility code has been removed, hence
+         sideband connections (introduced in 0.4.11) are now mandatory.
+       - Addblob commands can produce output.
+       - The stat command no longer sends garbage when para_server was
+         compiled against libgcrypt.
+       - Dependencies for gengetopt files are computed automatically.
+         This eliminates a constant source of build bugs.
+       - The setatt command now accepts file name patterns rather than only
+         path names.
+       - overview.pdf is now based on dia, a simple diagram creation program.
+         The new version is much more detailed and contains descriptions of
+         the various programs of the paraslash package.
+       - The separator of all multi-word options has been changed from
+         underscore to dash. For example --log_color becomes --log-color.
+       - Overhauled web pages and the new logo.
