+Gcrypt support, the overhauled osx writer and regex format specifiers
+are the highlights of this release.
+
+	- support for libgcrypt as a drop-in replacement for openssl.
+	  Run configure --enable-cryptolib=gcrypt to link against
+	  libgcrypt. The two crypto implementations are compatible to
+	  each other, i.e. a para_client executable linked against
+	  gcrypt can connect to para_server linked against libssl
+	  and vice versa.
+	- Rewrite of the osx writer (output plugin for Mac OS).
+	- audiod: The format specifier for receivers, filters and
+	  writers is now treated as a regular expression. This allows
+	  to replace 5 lines in the config file (one for each audio
+	  format) by one single line. See the manual for details.
+	- The *.cmdline.[ch] files are no longer contained in the released
+	  tarballs. This reduces the size of the tarballs but requires
+	  gengetopt to build the tarball.
+	- Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang.
+	- The alsa writer used poll fds instead of computing timeouts.
+	- Corrupt mp3 files are handled more gracefully.
+	- sched: Optimized zero timeouts.
+	- vss timeout cleanups.

+0.4.7 (2011-06-01) "infinite rollback"

+
+The new ao writer, support for ssh RSA keys and a couple of other
+enhancements.
+
+	- Support for ESD, Pulseaudio, AIX, Solaris, IRIX and other
+	  platforms through the libao audio library.
+	- Support for RSA keys generated with ssh-keygen.
+	- configure: improved options for ogg/vorbis/speex.
+	- The git version reported by --version always matches HEAD.
+	- The autogen script detects the number of processors and
+	  runs a parallel make if possible.
+	- Major cleanup of the crypto API.
+	- Documentation updates.
