+0.4.6 (to be announced) "deterministic entropy"
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+       - For DCCP/OGG streams the audio file header is only sent once
+         at the beginning of the stream rather than periodically
+         every five seconds. This reduces network traffic and the
+         FEC group size.
+       - aacdec error message cleanups
+       - simplified color error handling
+       - para_gui: New option --theme to select a startup theme. Several
+         other improvements and fixes.

----------------------------------------------
+--------------------------------------------
+0.4.5 (2010-12-17) "symmetric randomization"
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes, internal cleanups and variable-sized FEC slices.
+
+       - Contains a fix for an invalid-free-bug in the ogg audio format
+         handler code.
+       - Switching off the DCCP sender works again.
+       - para_audiod handles crashes of para_server more robustly.
+       - Internal scheduler and writer cleanups.
+       - Reduced latency due to variable-sized FEC slices.
+       - Improved documentation and error diagnostics.
+       - The build of para_server is now optional, allowing the build
+         to succeed in case libosl is not installed.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.4 (2010-08-06) "persistent regularity"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Support for yet another audio format, para_write improvements and
+bug fixes.
+
+       - Support for the speex codec.
+       - Support for sample formats other than 16 bit little endian.
+       - error2.h is now created by a perl script which speeds up configure
+         considerably.
+       - Fix a bug in the aac decoder which could lead to segfaults in
+         para_filter/para_audiod.
+       - Fixes for autoconf-2.66.
+
+----------------------------------------
+0.4.3 (2010-07-05) "imaginary radiation"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Many improvements for the DCCP and the UDP transport, the new user
+manual and the usual mix of bug fixes and internal improvements.

 
 

+       - FEC support for the DCCP sender (Gerrit Renker). The new
+         --dccp_max_slice_size, --dccp_data_slices_per_group and
+         --dccp_slices_per_group options can be used to set the FEC
+         parameters for the DCCP transport.
+       - DNS lookups for UDP targets (Gerrit Renker).
+       - The new user manual replaces the README, README.afs, REQUIREMENTS
+         and INSTALL documents.

        - Fix an end-of-file detection bug in the oggdec filter.
        - Fix an end-of-file detection bug in the oggdec filter.

+       - The new nonblock API.
+       - Both options of the oggdec filter have been removed.
+       - New debug mode for the internal scheduler.
