+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.
