+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)
+
+-----------------------------------------
+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
