------------------------------------------------
-0.4.6 (to be announced) "deterministic entropy"
------------------------------------------------
+------------------------------------------
+0.?.? (to be announced) "spectral gravity"
+------------------------------------------
+
+ - UTF8 support for para_gui and the mp3 audio format handler.
+ - Scheduler improvements and fixes.
+ - The obsolete gettimeofday() function has been replaced
+ by clock_gettime() on systems which support it.
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.4.12 (2012-12-20) "volatile relativity"
+-----------------------------------------
+The new command line player, the resample filter, ALSA support for
+para_fade, and the improved build system are the highlights of this
+release which probably marks the end of the 0.4.x series.
+
+ - The afh receiver and the para_play executable.
+ - The resample filter: A sample rate converter based on
+ libsamplerate.
+ - The "versions" directory has been removed from the master
+ branch. The tarballs of the old releases are now available
+ in the new "releases" branch.
+ - Overhaul of the build system: All generated files are now
+ written to the "build" directory.
+ - The modular mixer API and the alsa mixer.
+ - Minor fixes for the osx writer.
+
+--------------------------------------
+0.4.11 (2012-07-20) "mutual diversity"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The major feature in this release is the new sideband API for
+client-server communication. This API will be used exclusively starting
+with 0.5.0, which breaks backward compatibility but allows to get rid
+of quite some compatibility code. Other noteworthy changes include
+decoder latency improvements and a long-standing bug fix for the
+ALSA writer.
+
+ - Sideband connections: If both para_server and para_client
+ support this feature, data is sent as a multiplexed stream.
+ - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
+ removed.
+ - Several fixes and latency improvements to various decoders.
+ - The ALSA writer now limits the prebuffer time to 500ms.
+ - Documentation improvements.
+ - Overhaul of the command_util.sh script.
+ - Fixes for some minor problems found by the clang analyzer.
+ - Compiles (almost) without warnings on gcc-3.
+ - Robustness improvements of the buffer tree code.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.10 (2012-03-30) "heterogeneous vacuum"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Nothing earth-shaking in this release, but quite a few usability
+improvements and the usual mix of cleanups and fixes.
+
+ - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
+ deprecated. It still works but has no effect and will be
+ removed in the next version.
+ - para_gui now prints also the stderr output of the executing
+ command in the bottom window.
+ - Cleanup and consolidation of the various wrappers for
+ write(), writev(), send() and friends.
+ - The obscure error messages on mmap() failures have been
+ replaced by meaningful messages. This affects mainly
+ para_afh.
+ - para_audioc: Cleanups and memory leak fixes.
+ - Test 0004-server no longer fails if para_server is not
+ being built.
+ - New configure options: --with-id3tag-{headers,libs}.
+
+-------------------------------------
+0.4.9 (2011-12-06) "hybrid causality"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Support for another audio format, interactive mode for para_client
+and para_audiod and many small improvements/fixes all over the place.
+
+ - Support for flac, the free lossless audio codec.
+ - Fix for an endless loop in the mp3 decoder for certain
+ (corrupt) mp3 files.
+ - When executed without specifying a command, para_client
+ and para_audioc start an interactive shell (requires
+ libreadline being installed). The interactive mode offers
+ full tab completion and command line history.
+ - autogen.sh now detects a distcc setup and adjusts the
+ parameter for the -j option of make accordingly.
+ - Shared memory areas are no longer restricted to 64K. We now
+ detect the maximal size of a shared memory area at runtime.
+ - cleanup of the internal uptime API.
+ - para_server prefaults the mmapped audio file to avoid
+ delays on slow media.
+ - A new test for the test-suite that exercises the
+ communication between para_server and para_audiod.
+ - The alsa writer eats up less CPU cycles when configured to
+ use the DMIX plugin.
+ - Simplified and unified receiver code.
+ - Makefile cleanups.
+ - Commands which print a list of matching audio files now
+ emit a meaningful error message if no audio file matched the
+ given pattern(s).
+
+--------------------------------------
+0.4.8 (2011-08-19) "nested assignment"
+--------------------------------------
+
+Gcrypt support, the overhauled osx writer and regex format specifiers
+are the highlights of this release.
+
+ - support for libgcrypt as a drop-in replacement for openssl.
+ Run configure --enable-cryptolib=gcrypt to link against
+ libgcrypt. The two crypto implementations are compatible to
+ each other, i.e. a para_client executable linked against
+ gcrypt can connect to para_server linked against libssl
+ and vice versa.
+ - Rewrite of the osx writer (output plugin for Mac OS).
+ - 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.
+ - The *.cmdline.[ch] files are no longer contained in the released
+ tarballs. This reduces the size of the tarballs but requires
+ gengetopt to build the tarball.
+ - Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang.
+ - Corrupt mp3 files are handled more gracefully.
+ - The alsa writer uses poll fds instead of computing timeouts.
+ - Cleanup of the generic writer API.
+ - sched: Optimized zero timeouts.
+ - vss timeout cleanups.
+ - oggdec fixes and improvements.
+
+--------------------------------------
+0.4.7 (2011-06-01) "infinite rollback"
+--------------------------------------
+
+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
