+
+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.

+
+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.

        - The vorbis comment header is replaced by an empty dummy header
