+0.4.2 (to be announced) "associative expansion"
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+       - The new buffer tree API.
+       - The --bufsize option for mp3dec is gone as it no longer makes sense
+         for the new buffer tree API.
+       - Fix audible buffer underruns for wma streams.
+       - The alsa writer no longer prints meaningless underrun durations.
+
+---------------------------------------
+0.4.1 (2009-12-22) "concurrent horizon"
+---------------------------------------
+
+Support for another audio format, minor feature enhancements and lots of bug
+fixes. All fixes that have been accumulated in the maint branch (in particular
+those mentionened in the 0.3.6 release notes) appear in this release as well.
+
+       - wma support.
+       - new afh option: --human to activate human-readable output.
+       - new server/audiod option: --log-timing to print timing information.
+       - build system improvements.
+       - source code documentation updates.
+
+-------------------------------------
+0.3.6 (2009-12-07) "cubic continuity"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Quite a few bugs have been found and fixed since 0.3.5, so here's
+another 0.3.x release. No new features.
+
+       - Always check return value of malloc().
+       - ogg vorbis/FEC: Do not write garbage after the audio file header.
+       - exit if root privileges could not be dropped.
+       - FEC: Fix computation of extra slices.
+       - oss: Fix check for empty input buffer.
+       - Avoid buffer underruns due to filter chain output buffer constraints.
+       - server: Fix assignment of afs_pid.
+       - Don't panic if the afs database contains unknown audio formats.
+       - http/dccp: Do not send the audio file header twice.
+       - FEC: Timing improvements.

-0.3.4 (to be announced) "elliptic inheritance"
+0.4.0 (2009-11-10) "simultaneous independence"

 ----------------------------------------------
 
 ----------------------------------------------
 

-The new udp sender, forward error correcton, colored logs and various
+Two significant changes which require the new version number: The
+improved authentication dialog and the fact that the database code
+has been moved to a library, libosl. To use the new version, you have
+to generate new RSA keys, see INSTALL for details. A shell script is
+provided for conversion of the 0.3 database to the new 0.4 format.
+
+       - stronger crypto for client authentication
+       - the database code has been moved to a library
+       - improved status item handling
+       - cleanup of the build system
+       - The "-V" option now also prints the git version
+       - the new parser-friendly listing mode for the ls and stat commands
+       - mandatory rc4 encryption
+       - major audio format handler cleanups
+       - (id3,...) tags are no longer stored as a combined string in the database
+       - new mood methods: artist_matches, title_matches, comment_matches,
+         album_matches, year_maches, year.
+
+--------------------------------------------
+0.3.5 (2009-09-21) "symplectic separability"
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Full client support for *BSD Unixes, complete re-write of the ogg
+vorbis audio format handler, various improvements all over the place
+and the usual mix of bugfixes. This release marks the end of the 0.3
+series if no serious problems show up.
+
+       - the new oss writer (supported on *BSD and Linux)
+       - rewrite of the ogg vorbis audio format handler. It's
+         recommended to replace the chunk tables of existing ogg
+         vorbis files in the afs database by re-adding these files
+         with "add -f".
+       - support for netmask subsets (Gerrit Renker)
+       - the new prebuffer filter
+       - improved signal handling
+       - variable fec output buffer size
+       - improved FEC timing fixes audible buffer underruns in UDP mode
+       - --log_color actually works
+       - new ls option: -d (print dates as seconds after the epoch)
+       - update to gengetopt 2.22.2
+       - support for RSA keys of size > 512 bits
+       - new option "mixer_channel" for para_fade
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.3.4 (2009-05-07) "elliptic inheritance"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The new udp sender, forward error correction, colored logs and various

 other improvements. As the udp sender does not depend on any special
 libraries, it is built unconditionally.
