+current master branch "magnetic momentum"
+-----------------------------------------
+       - On Linux systems, local sockets are now created in the
+         abstract name space by default. This allows to get rid of
+         the socket specials in /var/paraslash.
+       - The --user-allow option of para_audiod now accepts also
+         usernames rather than only user IDs.
+       - New autoconf macros to avoid duplication in configure.ac.
+       - Status items (as shown by para_gui) are updated correctly
+         when the meta information of the current audio changes.
+       - para_server and para_audiod no longer refuse to start in
+         the background if no log file is given. Instead, all log
+         messages go to /dev/null in this case.
+       - Web page cleanup.
