+0.3.4 (to be announced) "elliptic inheritance"
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The new udp sender and several small improvements.
+
+	- The udp sender replaces the ortp sender. The new code is
+	  both smaller and cleaner than the old ortp sender/receiver
+	  code. As the udp sender does not depend on any special
+	  libraries, it is built unconditionally. The default port
+	  for udp streaming now defaults to 8000, like for the http
+	  and the dccp senders/receivers.
+	- new options for mp3dec: --ignore-crc, --bufsize
+	- new audiod option: --config-file.
+	- Improved help/man pages: The documentation of para_audiod,
+	  para_recv, para_filter and para_write now also contains
+	  all options of the available receivers/filters/writers.
+
+--------------------------------------------
+0.3.3 (2008-12-01) "axiomatic perspectivity"
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Internal code cleanups, bug fixes, improved tag handling and the new
+amplification filter.
+
+	- para_server uses the generic scheduling code.
+	- overhaul of the virtual streaming system.
+	- mp3: id3 version 2 support via libid3tag (optional)
+	- ogg: vorbis comment support.
+	- aac meta info support.
+	- mp3 audio format handler cleanups.
+	- new filter: "amp" to amplify the amplitude of the audio stream
+	- new status item/database entry: amplification. It is
+	  used by the amp filter to pre-amplify the audio stream.
+	- fix a close-without-open bug in para_write.
+	- fix a bug in com_init() which was introduced in 0.3.2.
+	- better error diagnostics for para_client.
+
+-----------------------------------------
+0.3.2 (2008-04-11) "probabilistic parity"
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The new para_afh executable, scheduling and documentation improvements.
+
+	- 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.
+	- more detailed and much nicer man pages.
+
+---------------------------------------
+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.
