-Noteworthy changes recently merged to master
---------------------------------------------
+-------------------------------------------------
+0.5.3 (to be released) "symbolic synchronization"
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Various alsa-related fixes, mostly for the raspberry pi.
+
+----------------------------------------
+0.5.2 (2014-04-11) "orthogonal interior"
+----------------------------------------
+
+The new sync filter, the AES_CTR128 stream cipher and the overhauled
+network code are the highlights of this release. It also includes a
+fair number of smaller fixes and improvements not mentioned here.
+
+ - The new sync filter synchronizes playback between multiple
+ clients.
+ - Connections between para_server and para_client are now
+ encrypted by means of AES rather than RC4 if both sides
+ support it. RC4 is still available as a fallback. This
+ feature is fully transparent, i.e. no command line options
+ are necessary, and a client linked against openssl can
+ speak with a server linked against libgcrypt and vice versa.
+ - Major cleanup of the networking subsystem.
+ - Improvements to para_fade: the new set mode, multi-channel
+ initial volumes, better error logging.
+ - The man pages of para_audiod, para_filter, para_recv, and
+ para_write contain the relevant options for receivers, filters,
+ writers. This broke in 0.5.0.
+ - ogg/vorbis latency improvements.
+ - Improved user manual.
+ - Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.

+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.

sideband connections (introduced in 0.4.11) are now mandatory.
underscore to dash. For example --log_color becomes --log-color.
- Overhauled web pages and the new logo.
