-0.3.0 (to be announced) "solar saturation"
-------------------------------------------
+----------------------------------------------
+0.3.2 (to be announced) "probabilistic parity"
+----------------------------------------------
+
+ - 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.
+ - major scheduler and audiod cleanups.
+
+---------------------------------------
+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.

paraslash.0.3.0 -- 'WWDBND --what would databases never do?'.
Usually one might expect lots of new features AND a big increase in size
-for a major release like 0.2.x to 0.3.x.
-
-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 quick hacks anyway). But also the fact that the
-mysql code is gone cuts down the size a bit.
+for a major release like this.
-Being independent of mysql comes at a cost: The (stripped) binary
-size of para_server increases about 50K in i386.
+However, paraslash-0.3.0.tar.bz2 is the smallest paraslash tarball
+ever. The decrease in size is mostly due to the removal of some
+graphical tools (which were only quick 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 fact that paraslash
+now contains its own database (the object storage layer, osl) increases
+the (stripped) binary size of para_server by ~50K on i386.
- no more restrictions on unique basenames.
- independent of mysql: The new self-contained object
storage layer (osl) replaces the mysql database.
+ - New executable para_fsck: Check integrity of osl tables.
- Lyrics support.
- Reliable audio file move/rename detection.
+ - More portable than ever: Tested on Linux (x86_32, x86_64, sparc64),
+ MacOS (ppc32, x86_32), FreeBSD (x86_32), NetBSD (x86_32) and
+ Solaris (sparc64).
- the new osl-based audio file selector (afs) replaces the random,
- playlist and the mysql selector of paraslash-0.2.x.
+ the playlist and the mysql selector of paraslash-0.2.x.
+ - IPv6 support (thanks to Gerrit Renker).
- 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.
- Improved error subsystem.
- The earth-shaking new logo.

-0.2.17 (to be announced) "isotropic threshold"
-----------------------------------------------

+0.2.17 (2007-11-20) "isotropic threshold"

the 0.2.x series if no serious bugs show up after the release.
- update to ortp-0.13.1.
- autoconf: extend checks for headers, library functions and
compiler characteristics.
+ - Fix streaming of large mp3 files.
+ - Fix an off-by-one bug in playlist handling.
