---------------------------------------------
-0.5.0 (to be announced) "invertible validity"
+0.5.2 (to be announced) "orthogonal interior"
---------------------------------------------
+The new sync filter, the AES_CTR128 stream cipher and the overhauled
+network code are the highlights of this release.
+
+ - 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.
+ - Improved user manual.
+ - Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.5.1 (2013-12-20) "temporary implication"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Lots of fixes and improvements all over the place, and a major overhaul
+of the build system.
+
+ - Audiod improvements and fixes.
+ - Buffer tree robustness improvements.
+ - Cleanup of the mood subsystem.
+ - Fixes and cleanups for the flac decoder.
+ - Latency improvements for the ogg/opus decoder.
+ - Crypto support is now optional. On systems without
+ openssl/gcrypt, the build succeeds but para_server,
+ para_audiod, para_client won't be built.
+ - The build system now works for cross-compile setups.
+ - The dependency tree has been flattened, which speeds up
+ builds and avoids to recreate the man pages on every change.
+ - The error code helper has been rewritten from perl to C,
+ which further improves build time.
+ - Many small bugs in the build system have been identified
+ and fixed.

+0.5.0 (2013-08-23) "invertible validity"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Some API-breaking changes, one serious bug fix, and a lot of bike-shedding.
+
- The sideband compatibility code has been removed, hence
sideband connections (introduced in 0.4.11) are now mandatory.
- Addblob commands can produce output.
This eliminates a constant source of build bugs.
- The setatt command now accepts file name patterns rather than only
path names.
+ - overview.pdf is now based on dia, a simple diagram creation program.
+ The new version is much more detailed and contains descriptions of
+ the various programs of the paraslash package.
+ - The separator of all multi-word options has been changed from
+ underscore to dash. For example --log_color becomes --log-color.
+ - Overhauled web pages and the new logo.
