+0.?.? (to be announced) "isotropic threshold"
+---------------------------------------------

+--------------------------------------
+0.2.16 (2007-04-05) "neural discharge"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The main change in this release is the major audio format handler
+cleanup which removes some similar/duplicate code and makes it easier
+to implement plugins for other audio formats. Of course, the usual mix
+of other improvements/changes/bugfixes also made it into the release.
+
+       - simplified audio format handlers (most of the handling functions
+         were moved one layer up to the virtual streaming system).
+       - para_server uses mmap to read audio files
+       - repositioning of mp3 streams is much faster, in particular for
+         jumping near the end of large mp3 files.
+       - permission flags DB_READ,DB_WRITE have been renamed to AFS_READ
+         and AFS_WRITE.
+       - fix a bug in para_filter that caused decoding of aac files
+         to start only after a few seconds.
+       - fix osx_writer hangs
+       - simplified dccp code (thanks to Gerrit Renker)
+       - the compress filter works also on big endian systems (ppc)
