+0.6.3 (to be announced) "generalized activity"
+----------------------------------------------
+
+- The ff command now accepts a negative argument to instruct the
+  virtual streaming system to jump backwards in the current audio
+  stream. The old syntax (e.g., "ff 30-") is still supported but it
+  is deprecated and no longer documented. The compatibility code is
+  sheduled for removal after 0.7.0.
+- para_afh: New option: --preserve to reset the modification time to
+  the value of the original file after meta data modification.
+- Overhaul of the compress filter code. The refined algorithm should
+  reduce clipping. The meaning of --aggressiveness has changed, see the
+  updated and extended documentation of the compress filter for details.
+- Cleanup of the audio format handler code.
+- We now build the tree using the .ONESHELL feature of GNU make,
+  which results in a significant speedup.
+- Two robustness fixes for FreeBSD.
+- para_client now supports RFC4716 private keys as generated with
+  ssh-keygen -m RFC4716. In fact, this key format has been made the
+  default, and the former PEM keys will be depreciated at some point.
+- The ogg audio format handlers learned to detect holes and now report
+  the correct duration also if ogg pages are missing in the file. This
+  affects ogg/vorbis ogg/speex and ogg/opus.
+- Robustness improvements for para_mixer.
+- A fix for an old bug that could cause the server to crash or report
+  garbage in its status output.
+- New para_play option: --end-of-playlist
