+0.5.7 (2016-12-31) "semantic density"
+-------------------------------------
+
+Mostly a bug fix release, and a bunch of internal improvements.
+The only user-visible changes are the sanity checks for the touch
+command and the new options to the ls command.
+
+- Speedup of the base64 decoder.
+- One of the two source browsers has been removed from the web pages.
+  The doxygen API reference still contains an HTML version of each
+  source file.
+- Two race conditions in para_server have been fixed.
+- ls -p is now deprecated in favor of -F or -b. See the help text of
+  the ls command for details.
+- The openssl code has been adjusted to work also with openssl-1.1.
+- The wma decoder and audio format handler now correctly decodes
+  files with unusual block sizes.
+- We now compile with -Wformat-signedness if possible.
+- The touch command now refuses to set an invalid image or lyrics ID.
+- New section on contributing for the user manual.
+- Major simplification of the error subsystem.

+0.4.14 (2016-12-31) "branching oscillation"
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Many fixes for nasty bugs have accumulated over the years since 0.4.13
+was released in 2013. This release contains all of them. It is the
+last v0.4.x release, so v0.4.x is now end of life. The maint branch
+of the git repository has been forwarded to v0.5.7 and will start to
+receive important fixes for 0.5.x, which is now in maintenance mode.
+
+- Fix for the "double encryption bug" with gcrypt, which caused
+  garbage to be sent to stat clients.
+- The "prev" command of para_play now works as expected.
+- Invalid parameters for the begin and end chunk no longer cause
+  the afh receiver of para_recv to segfault.
+- A fix for an assertion that triggered in the FEC slice setup code.
+- Closing the terminal with a running para_gui causes the process to
+  die, rather than using 100% of CPU time.
+- para_gui no longer shows stale information about the previous
+  audio file.
+- A fix for a bug in the fec decoder which caused aborts if the buffer
+  pool filled up.
+- The assertion in the buffer tree code no longer triggers.
+- The "afs_event: table moods, event 0: key already exists in rbtree"
+  error no longer occurs on attribute changes.
+- A NULL pointer dereference in com_sender() has been fixed.
+- The -i option of lsatt works as advertised.
+- Various fixes for the build system.
