-0.?.? (to be announced) "atomic duality"
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-       o update to gengetopt-2.16
+0.?.? (to be announced) "oriented abstraction"
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Many user-visible changes in this release and lots of new
+features:
+
+
+       o the new optional dccp sender/receiver. It uses the datagram
+       congestion control protocol. You'll need a fairly new kernel
+       for this.
+
+       o paraslash compiles under MacOs (thanks to Gerd Becker)
+
+       o para_play renamed to para_write
+
+       o modular output plugin design (writers) for para_write
+
+       o new file_writer output plugin for para_write
+
+       o compress filter speed improvements
+
+       o update to libortp-0.9.1
+
+       o update to gengetopt-2.17
+
+       o para_client no longer depends on libreadline (as the
+       code for the interactive mode was removed).
+
+       o gcc-2-95 is no longer a supported compiler. It may still
+       work, but it gets no more testing.
+
+       o the tarball no longer contains the screenshot images which
+       reduces its size from 570 KB to about 410KB.
+
+
+
+0.2.11 (2006-03-11) "atomic duality"
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Here it is, the first paraslash release developed with git. There
+are fairly many user-visible changes in this release. As two out of
+the three "database tools" of paraslash don't use a database at all,
+they are now called "audio file selectors" instead.
+
+
+       o the cdt command (change database tool) becomes chs (change
+       selector)
+
+       o no more colon separators: The syntax of some options of
+       para_audiod and para_filter have changed. Use --help for
+       more info (and some examples).
+
+       o update to gengetopt-2.16 (thanks to Lorenzo Bettini)
 
-       o switch from cvs to git
+       o switch from cvs to git (should've done that earlier)
 
        o the new ipc subsystem
 
-       o new audio file selector: plm, the playlist manager
+       o new audio file selector: playlist
 
        o para_server: the dopey selector is now called "random",
        and is the default selector. Use the --selector option to
-       choose another selector at startup, or the cdt command to
-       switch between the supported selectors.
+       choose another selector at startup, or the chs command to
+       change the selector at runtime.
 
        o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
