-0.4.6 (to be announced) "deterministic entropy"
------------------------------------------------
+-------------------------------------------
+0.4.8 (to be announced) "nested assignment"
+-------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+	- Compiles cleanly also with llvm/clang.
+	- 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.
+
+------------------------------------------
+0.4.6 (2011-03-31) "deterministic entropy"
+------------------------------------------
+
+Lots of ogg/vorbis improvements, the new test suite, enhancements
+for para_gui and a fair amount of other bug fixes.
+
+	- For DCCP/OGG streams the audio file header is only sent once
+	  at the beginning of the stream rather than periodically
+	  every five seconds. This reduces network traffic and the
+	  FEC group size.
+	- The vorbis comment header is replaced by an empty dummy header
+	  before the header is sent over the network. This also results in
+	  less network traffic and smaller FEC groups.
+	- The new "test" make target allows to perform some sanity checks prior
+	  to installing the package.
+	- ogg timing fixes and performance improvements
+	- Scheduler improvements
+	- Proper exit codes for para_write
+	- para_gui: New option --theme to select a startup theme. Several
+	  other improvements and fixes.
+	- aacdec error message cleanups
+	- simplified color error handling
