+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.
