+0.4.11 (2012-07-20) "mutual diversity"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The major feature in this release is the new sideband API for
+client-server communication. This API will be used exclusively starting
+with 0.5.0, which breaks backward compatibility but allows to get rid
+of quite some compatibility code. Other noteworthy changes include
+decoder latency improvements and a long-standing bug fix for the
+ALSA writer.
 
        - Sideband connections: If both para_server and para_client
          support this feature, data is sent as a multiplexed stream.
        - The --no_default_filters option of para_filter has been
          removed.
+       - Several fixes and latency improvements to various decoders.
+       - The ALSA writer now limits the prebuffer time to 500ms.
        - Documentation improvements.
+       - Overhaul of the command_util.sh script.
+       - Fixes for some minor problems found by the clang analyzer.
+       - Compiles (almost) without warnings on gcc-3.
+       - Robustness improvements of the buffer tree code.
