-0.4.8 (to be announced) "nested assignment"

+-------------------------------------
+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.
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.
