+0.6.2 (2018-06-30) "elastic diversity"
+--------------------------------------
+
+The main new feature of this release is the --listen-address option
+for para_server and para_audiod. But there are also a large number of
+small improvements and bug fixes all over the place. The user-visible
+changes include
+
+- para_gui no longer waits up to one second to update the screen when
+  the geometry of the terminal changes.
+- Minor documentation improvements.
+- Improvements to the crypto subsystem.
+- The server subcommand "task" has been deprecated. It still works,
+  but prints nothing. It will be removed in the next major release.
+- Server log output is now serialized, avoiding issues with partial
+  lines.
+- It is now possible to switch to a different afs database by changing
+  the server configuration and sending SIGHUP to the server process.
+- New server options: --listen--address, --http-listen-address and
+  --dccp-listen-address. These options restrict the set of listening
+  addresses of the TCP and DCCP sockets of the server process.
+- The help commands of server, audiod, play now support --long. By default,
+  the short help is shown.
+- The code which merges the command line options with the config file
+  options has been consolidated.
+- If the current audio file is renamed, the status items are now updated
+  accordingly.
+- After the server process received SIGHUP, changes to the current audio
+  file did not trigger an update of the status items. This has been fixed.

+0.6.1 (2017-09-23) "segmented iteration"
+----------------------------------------
+
+The highlight of this release is the version 2 mood parser. But there
+is a lot more than that, as summarized in the list below. And of
+course we have many small usability improvements and bug fixes not
+mentioned here.
 
+- A more intuitive syntax for moods ("version 2 moods"). The
+  traditional version 1 moods are still supported but are deprecated
+  now. Removal of the version 1 mood parser is scheduled for the next
+  major release.
+- Flex and bison are now required to build para_server.
 - New sort order for the ls command: -s=h sorts the ls output by hash
   value of the audio file.
+- autogen.sh now runs the test suite after a successful build.
 - The contents of overview.pdf have been integrated into the user
   manual.
+- Fixed sized audio format headers for ogg/opus streams.
 - The doxygen source browser has been disabled temporarily. The
   API reference is still online, though.
 - Overhaul of the source code documentation.
+- The deprecated --full-path option of the ls command has been
+  removed. It was a no-op since 0.6.0.
+- The wma decoder has been cleaned up and its bitstream API made
+  more robust.
+- The image/lyrics ID status items of the current audio file are now
+  updated on changes. This affects para_gui, which used to report the
+  old value until EOF.

+0.5.8 (2017-09-23) "branching parabola"
+---------------------------------------
+
+A couple of fixes for serious old bugs have accummulated in the maint
+branch since paraslash-0.5.7 was released nine months ago. So here
+is another 0.5.x release. As usual, all commits in the maint branch
+have been merged into master, so the upcoming paraslash-0.6.1 also
+contains them. For details see the git log.
