 0.?.? (to be announced) "atomic duality"
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-       o update to gengetopt-2.16
+
+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 (should've done that earlier)
+
+       o the new ipc subsystem
+
+       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 chs command to
+       change the selector at runtime.
+
+       o X86_64 fixes (thanks to Steffen Klassert)
+
+       o para_play fixes
