+0.5.2 (???) "orthogonal interior"
+---------------------------------
+
+	- Minor fixes to avoid clang warnings.

 ------------------------------------------
-0.?.? (to be announced) "spectral gravity"
+0.5.1 (2013-12-20) "temporary implication"
 ------------------------------------------
 
+Lots of fixes and improvements all over the place, and a major overhaul
+of the build system.
+
+	- Audiod improvements and fixes.
+	- Buffer tree robustness improvements.
+	- Cleanup of the mood subsystem.
+	- Fixes and cleanups for the flac decoder.
+	- Latency improvements for the ogg/opus decoder.
+	- Crypto support is now optional. On systems without
+	  openssl/gcrypt, the build succeeds but para_server,
+	  para_audiod, para_client won't be built.
+	- The build system now works for cross-compile setups.
+	- The dependency tree has been flattened, which speeds up
+	  builds and avoids to recreate the man pages on every change.
+	- The error code helper has been rewritten from perl to C,
+	  which further improves build time.
+	- Many small bugs in the build system have been identified
+	  and fixed.

+0.5.0 (2013-08-23) "invertible validity"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Some API-breaking changes, one serious bug fix, and a lot of bike-shedding.
+
+	- The sideband compatibility code has been removed, hence
+	  sideband connections (introduced in 0.4.11) are now mandatory.
+	- Addblob commands can produce output.
+	- The stat command no longer sends garbage when para_server was
+	  compiled against libgcrypt.
+	- Dependencies for gengetopt files are computed automatically.
+	  This eliminates a constant source of build bugs.
+	- The setatt command now accepts file name patterns rather than only
+	  path names.
+	- overview.pdf is now based on dia, a simple diagram creation program.
+	  The new version is much more detailed and contains descriptions of
+	  the various programs of the paraslash package.
+	- The separator of all multi-word options has been changed from
+	  underscore to dash. For example --log_color becomes --log-color.
+	- Overhauled web pages and the new logo.

+One more 0.4.x release before the API-breaking changes for 0.5.0 go
+in. The main features of this release are the ogg/opus audio format,
+and UTF-8 support, but it includes also tons of other improvements
+and fixes all over the place.
+
+	- New audio format: ogg/opus.
 	- UTF8 support for para_gui and the mp3 audio format handler.
 	- Scheduler improvements and fixes.
