-0.3.0 (to be announced) "solar saturation"
-------------------------------------------
+----------------------------------------------
+0.3.2 (to be announced) "probabilistic parity"
+----------------------------------------------

 
 

-paraslash.0.3.0 -- 'WWDBND --what would databases never do?'.
+       - new ls option: -lc (list chunk table)
+       - new executable: para_afh, the stand-alone audio file handler tool
+       - afs commands can send output more than SHMMAX (32MB on Linux). This
+         also reduces the memory usage of commands that produce large amounts
+         of output.
+
+---------------------------------------
+0.3.1 (2008-02-23) "liquid interaction"
+---------------------------------------

 
 

+A mix of cleanups, bug fixes, improvements, and some new features. No
+significant changes to the new database (osl) code, which is generally
+a good sign.
+
+       - Share some similar/duplicate code between the http and the
+         dccp sender.
+       - Generic access control lists for paraslash senders.
+       - dccp sender: Access control lists, connection limiting and support
+         for the allow,deny,on,off,help sender commands.
+       - The default dccp port changed from 5001 to 8000 (suggested by
+         Gerrit Renker).
+       - para_server starts even if not all public keys could be loaded.
+       - Audiod performance improvements.
+       - fix a bug in the "off" command of the http sender.
+       - fix some fd and memory leaks.
+       - Update to gengetopt-2.22.

-However, this release is smaller than the latest 0.2.x releases. The
-decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some graphical tools
-(which were only afternoon hacks anyway). But also the fact that the
-mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.

-Being independent of mysql comes at a cost: The ((stripped)  binary

        - paraslash-0.2.x streams are now called "moods". Writing
          0.3.x-mood definitions should be both easier and more
          powerful than writing 0.2.x-stream definitions.
