+-------------------------------------------------
+0.4.5 (to be announced) "symmetric randomization"
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Mainly bug fixes and the var_fec_slices patch set.
+
+	- Contains a fix for an invalid-free-bug in the ogg audio format
+	  handler code.
+	- Switching off the DCCP sender works again.
+	- para_audiod handles crashes of para_server more robustly.
+	- Internal scheduler cleanups.
+	- reduced latency due to variable sized FEC slices.
+	- Improved documentation and error diagnostics.
+	- The build of para_server is now optional, allowing to build the
+	  client side executables if libosl is not installed.
 
---------------------------------------------
-0.4.1 (to be announced) "concurrent horizon"
---------------------------------------------
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.4 (2010-08-06) "persistent regularity"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Support for yet another audio format, para_write improvements and
+bug fixes.
+
+	- Support for the speex codec.
+	- Support for sample formats other than 16 bit little endian.
+	- error2.h is now created by a perl script which speeds up configure
+	  considerably.
+	- Fix a bug in the aac decoder which could lead to segfaults in
+	  para_filter/para_audiod.
+	- Fixes for autoconf-2.66.
+
+----------------------------------------
+0.4.3 (2010-07-05) "imaginary radiation"
+----------------------------------------
+
+Many improvements for the DCCP and the UDP transport, the new user
+manual and the usual mix of bug fixes and internal improvements.
+
+	- FEC support for the DCCP sender (Gerrit Renker). The new
+	  --dccp_max_slice_size, --dccp_data_slices_per_group and
+	  --dccp_slices_per_group options can be used to set the FEC
+	  parameters for the DCCP transport.
+	- DNS lookups for UDP targets (Gerrit Renker).
+	- The new user manual replaces the README, README.afs, REQUIREMENTS
+	  and INSTALL documents.
+	- Fix an end-of-file detection bug in the oggdec filter.
+	- The new nonblock API.
+	- Both options of the oggdec filter have been removed.
+	- New debug mode for the internal scheduler.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.2 (2010-04-23) "associative expansion"
+------------------------------------------
+
+It's been some time since the last release, but finally here is
+paraslash-0.4.2. The bulk of the changes comes from the new buffer
+tree API, but there are changes all over the tree. Mainly performance
+and usability improvements, but also quite some bug fixes.
+
+	- The new buffer tree API.
+	- DCCP: Support for CCID negotiation (Gerrit Renker).
+	- UDP robustness fixes.
+	- The --bufsize option for mp3dec is gone as it no longer makes sense
+	  for the new buffer tree API.
+	- Fix audible buffer underruns for wma streams.
+	- The alsa writer no longer prints meaningless underrun durations.
+	- audiod: Defaults work also for udp streams. If no filter is
+	  given for an audio format that is received via upd, fecdec is
+	  automatically added as the first filter (along with the decoder).
+
+---------------------------------------
+0.4.1 (2009-12-22) "concurrent horizon"
+---------------------------------------
 
 Support for another audio format, minor feature enhancements and lots of bug
 fixes. All fixes that have been accumulated in the maint branch (in particular
