+       - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
+         depricated. It still works but has no effect and will be
+         removed in the next version.
+       - 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.

+
+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).
