+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)
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.2.15 (2007-02-16) "inductive resonance"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Minor improvements, more documentation and a bunch of bug fixes.
+
+ - para_server: The server.users file is only read once on server
+ startup rather than for each connection
+ - mp3dec: Fix decoding of corrupt mp3 files
+ - afs (audio file sender) is now called vss (virtual streaming
+ system). Consequently, the permission flags specified in
+ ~/.paraslash/server.users have also changed: AFS_READ and AFS_WRITE
+ become VSS_READ and VSS_WRITE respectively.
+ - para_audiod/para_filter: Fix a bug that caused the last chunk
+ of audio data not being written under certain circumstances
+ - audiod: compute the difference of server time and local time
+ correctly
+ - para_server/para_audiod: Fix some memory leaks
+ - documentation improvements
+ - configure.ac: fix checks for para_krell
+ - new man pages
+
+-------------------------------------------
+0.2.14 (2006-10-15) "transient singularity"
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The only major enhancement of this version is the osx writer which completes
+the Mac OS Port and was originally planned already for 0.2.13 but had to wait
+until now for reasons beyond the scope of this changelog entry.
+
+ - new output plugin for Mac Os: the osx writer
+ - rename configure command line options from --enable-xxx-headers to
+ --with-xxx-headers and --enable-xxx-libs to --with-xxx-libs
+ - configure: new command line options: --with-mad-headers,
+ --with-mad-libs, --with-oggvorbis-headers, and --with-oggvorbis-libs
+ - some robustness fixes
+ - dymamic audio format recognition for audiod
+ - para_server: new command line option: --autoplay_delay
+ - para_audiod: new command line option: --clock_diff_count
